A formal letter begins with a heading, the heading will consist of you address (but not your name) and the date. Telephone numbers and email addresses aren't usually included but are acceptable. Using block format, the heading goes in the top left-hand corner of the page.
The inside address consists of the name and address of the person to whom you are writing. If you don't know his or her name, include his or her title. This address is usually placed four lines below the heading if a word processor is used or one line below if the letter is handwritten.
