How to lay out a formal letter

The block format used here is the standard for business and formal letters. Every line starts at the left margin, paragraphs are separated by a blank line, and the parts appear in this order:

  1. Your name, address and contact details
  2. The date
  3. The recipient's name, job title, organization and address
  4. A subject line, so the reader knows what the letter is about at a glance
  5. The greeting, such as "Dear Ms. Lee,"
  6. The body: why you're writing, the details, and what you want to happen next
  7. A sign-off such as "Sincerely," followed by your name

Tips for any letter

  • Put the purpose in the first sentence. The reader shouldn't have to guess why you're writing.
  • Be specific: dates, amounts, order numbers and names make a letter easier to act on.
  • Say what you want and by when, especially for complaints, reminders and cancellations.
  • Keep it to one page. If you need more, attach supporting documents instead.
  • For complaints and cancellations, keep a copy and note the date you sent it.

Greetings and sign-offs

Use the person's name whenever you can. If you don't know it, "Dear Hiring Manager" or "Dear Customer Service Team" is better than a generic greeting. "Sincerely" suits formal letters, "Kind regards" works for most others, and "Regards" is neutral and direct.

Formal is polite and traditional, for employers, landlords and official bodies. Friendly is warmer and more conversational, for people you know or smaller businesses. Firm is direct and sets clear deadlines, which suits complaints, overdue payments and cancellations where you need action.
