What is the proper UK format of a business letter?
When writing a professional letter in the United Kingdom, or to a British businessman, it's wise to follow the British standard for business letter formatting. This means you position the addresses of the sender and recipient and using the proper salutation and closing. There are many occasions when a professional letter is appropriate. These include an business proposal, sales letter, application letter, a thank you letter, and a letter accepting or declining a job offer.
Every professional letter should contain the following, in this order:
- Sender's address;
- Date;
- Recipient's address (also called the inside address);
- Salutation (e.g. "To Whom It May Concern");
- Body;
- Closing (e.g. "Sincerely");
- Enclosures (Type the word "Enclosures" if there are other documents included with the letter, e.g. your resume. You may list the documents when more than one is included.);
- Signature;
- Typist's initials if you did not type the letter yourself.
The body of your letter should be single-spaced and left-justified. There should be a blank line between paragraphs. The body of the letter should contain:
- First paragraph, A friendly opening followed by a statement of the letter's main point.
- Second paragraph, Justification of the main point's importance.
- Third through, penultimate paragraphs Supporting information and details justifying the main point's importance.
- Closing paragraph, A restatement of the letter's purpose and a request for a specific action, when relevant.
Here are some other tips for writing a proper professional letter.
- Make sure your letter is diplomatic and respectful.
- Keep it concise, also 'Short and Sweet'. Make sure the bottom line is clear without going through a lot of details.
- Use standard fonts. Verdana or Calibri (sans serif) of Times New Roman (Serif) are widely accepted fonts.
- Font size: typically typed in a 12-point size.
- Make sure to have correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Use a colon (:) after the salutation and a comma (,) after the closing.
- Ask somebody you trust to proofread the letter or check your letter thoroughly for errors before sending it.
