LETTER HEAD

     A letterhead is the heading at the top of a sheet of letter paper (stationery). That heading usually consists of a name and an address, and a logo or corporate design, and sometimes a background pattern. The term "letterhead" is often used to refer to the whole sheet imprinted with such a heading.

     The majority of company letterheads are printed A4 in size (210mm x 297mm) although occasionally A5 (148mm x 210mm) and other bespoke sizes are sometimes used. There are certain pieces of information that are required to be displayed by law if you are a UK based limited company. The company name must be included, the place of registration, the registered number and the address of the registered office. For example, if your company name is F. Bloggs & Sons Limited but you trade or are mainly known as Bloggs, or your logo only shows part of the name then you must include the full registered name on the letterhead. There is no need to include the names of the directors on the letterhead, however, if you choose to name the directors, you must ensure all the directors are named.

     In the United Kingdom, if you are trading as a sole trader or partnership under a name other than that of the owner(s), you must display the names of the owner(s) and an address for each. Also, in the UK, if you use your letterhead as an order form or invoice and you are VAT registered it is also advisable to put your VAT registration number on as well. All this information is typically added in fairly small print at the foot of the letterhead.

DATE

     Put the date on which the letter was written in the format Month Day Year. Skip a line between the date and the inside address (some people skip 3 or 4 lines after the date).

INSIDE ADDRESS

     The address of the person you are writing to along with the name of the recipient, their title and company name, if you are not sure who the letter should be addressed to either leave it blank, but try to put in a title, i.e. "Director of Human Resources". Skip a line between the date and the salutation.

SALUTATION

     A salutation is a greeting used in a letter or other written communication, such as an email. Salutations can be formal or informal. The most common form of salutation in a letter is Dear followed by the recipient's given name or title. For each style of salutation there is an accompanying style of complementary close, known as valediction.

BODY OF LETTER

     The body is where you write the content of the letter; the paragraphs should be single spaced with a skipped line between each paragraph. Skip a line between the end of the body and the closing.

COMPLIMENTARY CLOSE

     Let's the reader know that you are finished with your letter; usually ends with Sincerely, Sincerely yours, Thank you, and so on. Note that there is a comma after the end of the closing and only the first word in the closing is capitalized. Skip 3-4 lines between the closing and the printed name, so that there is room for the signature.

SIGNATURE

     Your signature will go in this section, usually signed in black or blue ink with a pen.

ENCLOSURE

     If letter contains other document other than the letter itself your letter will include the word "Enclosure." If there is more than one you would type, "Enclosures (#)" with the # being the number of other documents enclosed, not including the letter itself.
