13) If you begin with Dear Sir, you end with Yours faithfully.
14) The initials p.p. indicate that the person signing the letter is doing
so on behalf of someone else.
15) It is unusual for the writer to put his
/
her company position at the
end of the letter.
16) The abbreviation Ms can refer to both married and unmarried
women.
17) If you are writing to Mrs Anne Swanson, you open with Dear
Anne Swanson.
18) If a colon follows the salutation, a comma should follow the
closing.
19) The letters Enc. mean that something else has been sent with the
letter.
20) Enc. reminder should appear in the bottom left-hand corner of the
page.
21) Lowercase initials are used to indicate the person who typed the
letter.
22) In a block format letter, the entire letter is left aligned and single-
spaced with double-spacing between paragraphs.
23) In a modified block style, the return address, date, closing and
signature start just to the right of the center of the page.
Useful tips:
• Most company notepaper is headed. However, if you are writing on
unheaded paper, put your address (but not your name) in the top right-hand
corner.
• The address of the company you are writing to should appear on
the left so that it can be seen through an envelope with a window.
• If you are writing to a specific individual in the company, his/her
name and position goes above the address.
• Dates can cause some confusion. 2

10 means "the second of
March" in English letters, but "February third" in American ones. Confusion
may be avoided by writing dates as follows: 2 March (or March 2 in the
USA) 2010. The names of the months should not be abbreviated.
• If you do not know the name of the person you are writing to, or
you are not sure if you are writing to a man or woman, you should begin
Dear Sir or Madam and end Yours faithfully (Yours truly in the USA).
• If you know the person’s surname, begin e.g. Dear Mrs Jones and
end Yours sincerely.
• The two styles of punctuation commonly used in business letters are
mixed and open. Mixed punctuation requires a colon after the salutation and a
comma after the complimentary close. When no punctuation follows Mr or Ms,
the salutation and the complimentary close, open punctuation is used. This style
is popular in the UK but it is not considered appropriate in the United
States.
