6. Closing salutation
The complimentary, or formal, closing of a letter is typed: double space below the last line of the body. Depending on a style it may be typed either at the left margin or beginning at the center of the page.
The following closings are customarily used in business correspondence:
Cordially Cordially yours Respectfully Respectfully yours Sincerely Sincerely yours Very sincerely yours |
Yours sincerely Faithfully Faithfully yours Truly yours Yours truly Very truly yours
|
7. Signature
Sufficient space should be left after the complimentary closing or typed company name to allow for the writer's signature. Three or four blank lines is usually ample space, but more space can be left if the writer has a large handwriting.
Supplements in official and business letters
1. Attention line
An attention line is used when a letter is addressed to company but directed to a specific individual or department processing. The attention line, part of the inside address, is typed at the left margin a double space below the inside address and a double space before the salutation. If typed in capital or lowcase letters, the word "Attention" is followed by a colon; if it is typed in capitals, no colon is used:
Consolidated Chemical Corporation
24605 Bundy Drive West
Suite 1401
Albuquerque, NM 87101
Attention: Mrs. Sara Hawkins
But: |
Pacific Southwest Radio Corp. 5107 Avenue of the Stars Los Angeles, CA 90067
ATTENTION Accounting Department |
2. Subject line
The subject line refers to the topic of the letter and is considered part of the body. It is typed a double space below the salutation and a double space before the body. Depending on the style it may be centered on the page or typed at the left margin. Including an account number or case title the subject line helps the reader focus on the main subject. SUBJECT or Re (Regarding) may be typed before the subject and followed by a colon:
Dear Mrs. LaCroix:
SUBJECT: Account No 14701-K
Dear Mrs. LaCroix:
Re: Account No 14701-K
SUBJECT or Re are not essential in the subject line, however, since the placement of information below the salutation indicates that it is a subject:
Dear Mrs. LaCroix:
Account No 14701-K
Another example:
Dear Sirs:
Re: Letter of Credit No 12/1416
We have received your telegram...
3. Reference initials
The typist's reference, the initials of the writer and of fee typist, is typed on the same line with the signature or double space below the signature and is used to enable tracing earlier correspondence on a certain subject. First the initials of the writer are typed, then those of the typist:
EAN/AB EAN/ab ean/ab |
or or or |
EAN:AB EAN:ab ean:ab |
