PrimalJay Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 When writing a letter, the general way for me is to put my details in top right corner with the reciprocant on the left side below mine. Now does it matter if I put my name above my address on my details even if I have it below the signature strip at bottom, think it looks too fussy having to write it twice but I may be wrong, also, how and where should I put dates, phone numbers and what the letter is referring to like the subject matter of a job so to speak. Are there any templates available to view which will be able to show a proper letter layout and are there any things to avoid when writing a cover letter for example? Should I have my contact details in block capitals as I think that looks much better compared to leading capitals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choogling Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Reading this post got me thinking about the lost art of writing a letter these days with computers being commonplace who needs to write.I cannot remember the last time i had to write anything apart from a cheque,most forms say block capitals only or please print clearly etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isabelle Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I remember learning how to write letters at school. We also had to practise handwriting with fountain pens, but I think maybe that was just something to fill the time and keep us quiet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
