Parts of Personal Letter

1. The Heading Heading
This includes the address, line by line, with the last line being the date. Skip a line Dear Jon,
after the heading. The heading is indented to the middle of the page. If using
preaddressed stationery, add just the date.
Greeting
2. The Greeting
The greeting always ends with a comma. The greeting may be formal, beginning with
the word "dear" and using the person's given name or relationship, or it may be
informal if appropriate.
3. The Body Body
Also known as the main text. This includes the message you want to write. Normally
in a friendly letter, the beginning of paragraphs is indented. If not indented, be sure
to skip a space between paragraphs. Skip a line after the greeting and before the
close.
4. The Complimentary Close
This short expression is always a few words on a single line. It ends in a comma. It
should be indented to the same column as the heading. Skip one to three spaces
(two is usual) for the signature line.
5. Signature Line
Compliment
Type or print your name. The handwritten signature goes above this line and below
the close. The signature line and the handwritten signature are indented to the same
column as the close. The signature should be written in blue or black ink. If the letter Signature
is quite informal, you may omit the signature line as long as you sign the letter.
