To begin with your address (address of sender) should always be placed on the right hand side of the page, along with the date. If the letter is official then the receiver's address should on the left, below the sender's. <br /> <br />2. All letters should begin with <STRONG>Dear....</STRONG>, unless it is official and you do not know who you are writing to. In this case the letter can be addressed <STRONG>Dear Sir or Madam</STRONG> or <STRONG> To whom it may concern...</STRONG> <br /> <br />3. The first paragraph should be an introduction to the reason you are writing and the last should be a summing up and conclusion. <br /> <br /><EM>eg: I am writing in reference to your advertisement on the Forum on Monday 9th November......</EM> <br /> <br /><EM>eg: I look forward to receiving your reply..... / Please feel free to contact me for further information.....</EM> <br /> <br />4. You should end a letter with <STRONG>Yours Faithfully</STRONG> if you do not know the name of the person you are writing to. You should end a letter with <STRONG>Yours Sincerely</STRONG> if you know the name of the person. <br /> <br />There has also been alot written about letters in this forum. Check the threads from August/ September.
