The Letterhead does not only provide identification of
the writer’s company, its design helps to project the company’s
image. It is for these reasons that many firms engage
professional artists to design attractive Letterheads.
2. The Reference Line
It is usually below the Letterhead, very often in the top-
hand part of the sheet. The addressee’s reference – if it is known
– is typed first. It may be the number of the letter or some
abbreviation. The sender asks the addressee to refer to that
number or abbreviation in the answer.
The Reference Line contains the initials of the sender and
the addressee.
Have a look at the sample letter on page 6 and find the
Reference Line. Notice that the letters DA stand for D.Ashen.
Mr. D.Ashen has signed the letter and his initials in capital
letters come first in the Reference Line. They are followed by
the initials – not necessarily in capital letters – of his secretary
or typist.
Now let’s decipher the Reference Line:
Your Ref: DA / st

3. The Date
The Date, like the Reference Line, is placed bellow the
Letterhead. It is often very important to know when the letter
was written – important both to the reader and the writer.
There are four commonly used dateline styles, for example:
BE: AE
2 March, 2004 March 2, 2004
2
nd
March, 2004 March 2
nd
, 2004
The following style may be confusing: *2/03/2004. It is
either the second of March or the third of February. Try to avoid
confusion.
At present people do not usually write –th, -rd, -st, -nd after
the day. Sometimes the months (they are written with capital
letters) are abbreviated, but not all of them:
January – Jan. July
February – Feb. August – Aug.
March September – Sept.
April – Apr. October – Oct.
May November – Nov.
June December – Dec.
4. The Inside Address
Have a look at the recipient’s address on the envelope.
The Inside Address is the repeated recipient’s address. It
contains the name and address of the firm or individual to whom
you are writing. Notice that the English address should be
written in the reverse way, i.e. first – the recipient and the name
of the company you are writing to, then – the house number, the
street, the town/city, the state/county, the country. Mind the
order in which the address is usually written.
To a firm in Great Britain:
Messrs

Peterson and Sons

London SWL 96C

Messrs [mes∂s] – abbreviated from ‘Messieurs’ (Fr.); it is used if the name of the
firm includes surnames of people.
