Dear [insert recipient name]:
Opening sentences should tell the reader why he is receiving the letter.
Use paragraphs, numbers or bullets to organize the content of your letter. Never have just one long
paragraph.
Have a closing paragraph to summarize the letter contents.
Enclose appropriate material to supply necessary detail. Don’t overdo it. Show “Enclosures” following
your signature block; then list the enclosures or use “as” [“as stated”] if you identified the enclosure in
the body of your letter.
BE GRAMATICALLY PERFECT.
For this class use the full block format—everything on the left margin.

Sincerely,
