The qualities of a good business letter (or any business communication) are:Clarity; casual and friendly or highly technical and professional language can confuse the intent or expected result of a letter and should be used sparingly.Conciseness; a business matter should be presented in a straight forward manner, emotions like anger and frustration, or wandering off the subject can obscure the intent or expected result of the letter.Chronology; a business letter should follow a simple format that directs the attention of the recipient to the result you intend; it should start with a clear statement of why the letter is being sent, include the specifics to that purpose of the letter; and finish with what, if anything, you expect the recipient to do. If the letter is for informing a recipient only, close by thanking them and information to contact you should that be necessary.
If you start Dear Mr Bloggs, you should sign off "Yours sincerely". If you start Dear Sir/Madam or Dear Customer, you should sign off "Yours faithfully".
A blocked business letter is when the left margin and right margin are the same. If doing the letter on the computer you can start off on WORD by hitting 'justified' so that when you type the right margin will be one straight line down the whole part of your letter. It's neater looking and more business-like.
in a business letter you wouldn't use such an expression. You'd start off by saying something like: I regret to inform you...the expression would be something like: "Lamento informarle que... "
Things that are found in a business letter that are not required for a friendly letter are an 'inside address', 'reference line', and a list of 'enclosures'. There are some people who leave off the date of a friendly letter, but a date should be part of any written communication.
only if your are writing it off in the same year you went out of business, if not you should have already written it off.
