Know the 6 Parts of the Business Letter

Block Format
     When writing business letters, you must pay special attention to the format and font used. The most common layout of a business letter is known as block format. Using this format, the entire letter is left justified and single spaced except for a double space between paragraphs.

Punctuation after the salutation -Dear Ms Church:
      Use a colon : after the salutation, never a comma.

Punctuation after closing - Sincerely,

      Use a comma (,) after the closing. In some circumstances, you may also use a less common format, known as open punctuation. For this style, punctuation is excluded after the salutation and the closing.
