The last paragraph of a business letter is known as 'the call to action' paragraph. In other words, state what you want the recipient to do in response to your letter. It is surprising how often someone writes a letter without telling the recipient this, leaving the recipient to guess what you expect them to do, or at the recipients discretion, to do nothing. You may think that the information provided in the body of the letter will tell them what you want them to do, but it may not be as obvious as you think, especially if you are writing to complain about something. The last paragraph should also include the senders contact info (address, email address, phone number, etc.), and any dates that are essential. The last line of the last paragraph should thank the recipient for their time and/or their effort. Even if the letter is sent just to inform the recipient of something and no action on their part is required, thank them for their time and attention.
A business letter is to communicate business matters; none of the business letter is a personal letter. Even if you know the person the letter is for very well, keep a business letter on a business basis. If you wish to communicate with the person on a personal level, add a separate note with the letter. The recipient of a business letter may need to pass your letter on to someone else to be acted upon but can keep your personal note.

No, the first part of a business letter is the address of the sender, unless letterhead is used. One blank space below the address of the sender (or about a half inch below the letterhead) is the date of the letter; the date that the letter is sent. Below the date is where the address of the recipient is typed.
