Yours sincerely Yours respectfully Yours faithfully
It's best to use letterhead in your formal letters, as this makes the letters unique and the recipient can use them to verify the document's authenticity, which is often desired by financial institutions and government agencies.

Evaluate whether your letter requires a formal tone. The right tone and language let you convey information in a professional manner.
When you know the recipient: Dear John, Hello Mary, When you know the recipient's name:Dear Mr/Ms [family name]: Dear Mr Timothy or Dear Ms Terry Dear Mr/Ms [given name] [family name]: Dear Mr Arnold Schick or Dear Ms Amanda Taylor Dear [given name] [family name]: Dear Chris McGill,
Managers and company executives receive several letters and emails in a typical workday. Make sure that your letter delivers the message clearly and concisely so they understand whether there are any necessary follow-up actions.
Check your letter for spelling, grammar and punctuation errors and ensure it makes sense to the recipient. Run your text through a spell checker or ask a colleague to review the letter before you send it. Unless instructed, use open-style punctuation for all business correspondence.
Your business letter usually conveys specific information. Make sure that the details are correct. Double-check all financial figures or any factual information before you submit the letter.
Using an active voice in your letters can encourage recipients to reply promptly and help you sound knowledgeable about the subject.
Make sure you're using language and terminology that is appropriate for the audience. Also, use the long form of words, not contractions.
Check your letter's alignment and spacing. Consider using standard one-inch (2,54 sm) margins for your formal letter. The wide width usually looks appropriate, clean and inviting. Also, aim to align the text to the left to improve readability and maximise space.
