Return address, date, letter mailing address, and salutation.
Sender’s Address, Date, Inside Address, Salutation, and Body, Closing.
Business letters contain the return address of the sender, the date, and the address of the person you are writing to. A business letter also contains a salutation, subject line, and the body of the letter.
After the salutation of a business letter, the correct punctuation to use is a colon.
To write a business letter of any type, use business format. Start with your address in the top right (without your name). Skip a line and put the name and address of the person you are writing to starting at the margin on the left. Skip a line and write a business greeting with a colon after it. Write a short introduction, the instructions, and a conclusion. Write a business salutation, leave a few lines, and type your name. Sign your name between the salutation and the typed name.
