Business Letter 2

Writing a Business Letter (contd)

1. Sender's Address
Unless you are using headed paper you should include your address, postcode and contact details (telephone, fax and e-mail etc.).

2. The Recipient's Address
This position is important for 'window' type envelopes. Write to a specific individual in the organisation. Their name and personal title (Mr., Mrs., Dr., etc.), should be the first line of the address.

3. Date
Dating a business letter is important as the date forms:

• A reference point for future communications

• A start point against which actions can be measured

The date may also be placed immediately above the greeting or immediately below the signature.
