3. Inside name and address
The usual practice is to write the name and address of one's correspondent
at the head of the letter, though it is sometimes placed at the foot, in the bottom
lefthand corner, in official (i.e. Government) correspondence.
Where the head of department is known, address the letter to him by his
official title, thus:
The Sales Manager
The Hercules
Engineering Co Ltd
Brazennose Street
MANCHESTER
M 60 8 AS
All the names must be spelled correctly. To address T.B. Cartside as T.B.
Carside is impolite.
(a) Courtesy titles
The courtesy titles used in correspondence are Mr, Mrs, Miss, Messrs.
When your correspondent has a special title, such as Doctor, Professor, Colonel.
Sir, he is addressed by his title and Mr must not be used. We write, Dr J. Brown.
Prof. L. Carter, CoL W. John-son, Sir Arnold Plant.
(b) Foreign correspondence
When you write letters to other countries, always include the name of the
country, even if the town mentioned is the country's capital.
The Vice President
The Eagle Press Inc
24 South Bank
BOSTON
Mass 02116
USA
4. The salutation
This is the greeting with which every letter begins. The usual greeting in a
business letter is Dear Sir, but others are used too. For example:
Dear Madam (for both single and married women);
Dear Sirs (when a company is addressed);
When your correspondent is unknown to you and may be either a man or a
woman, always use the form Dear Sir.
These are the formal openings normally used, but at the present time,
especially if your correspondent is known to you personally, or if you have
traded with him for some time the warmer and more friendly greeting, Dear Mr
