       3.5.6 Look through the following model letter which sets out (1) the
writer's address, (2) the salutation to the addressee, (3) the body of message, (4)
the closing word or phrase,and (5) the writer’s signature

                                     MODEL LETTER
                                                          writer’s city/ state/ zip code
                                                          writer’s country
                                                        month /day/ year
     salutation ( Dear ) + addressee’s name,
     body of the letter
     ……………………………………………………………….
     ……………………………………………………………….
                                        closing,
                                        ( writer’s name )

     Note - Readers in American English usually expect to find these parts of a letter
arranged in this way ; they may be confused if the format is changed. In some
countries, for instance, the custom is to include the writer’s name in the upper right
corner above the writer’s address. However, a reader accustomed to American
English letters may think that the ( foreign ) writer’s name is a street, if it is written
on the first line of the address position. Thus, be very careful when writing letters and
try hard to avoid any ambiguities and misunderstandings.

      3.5.7 Now one more note about writer’s address Although you will usually
find that the writer places his/her address in the upper right-hand corner of the
page, business correspondents may place their address in the letterhead at the
middle top of the page, or at the above left-hand corner

      3.6 Envelope Address

      On the envelope, the U.S. post office requires the addressee’s name on the first
line, the street address on the second line, the city/ state/ zip code on the third line,
the name of the country on the last line. All of this should appear in the center of the
envelope. The writer’s name and address should appear in the upper left-hand corner
of the envelope.
