There are many different places online that can help you correctly format a business letter so that it looks and sounds professional. It is very important that your business letter is neat in appearance.
For a business letter, the name of the month should be spelled out and the year written in full, for example:February 29, 201229 February 2012Either is correct. For memos, forms, etc. abbreviated date forms, which vary from from country to country, are acceptable, but a letter should use the complete form.
The purpose of a business letter is to convey information, make a request or inquiry; a business letter also serves as a physical record of the communication.The format of a business letter is important to obtain the result(s) that you are expecting or require. The following format is designed to direct the recipient to the result you desire:The first paragraph should state why you are writing; that is all.The second paragraph should contain the information needed by the recipient to respond to your inquiry, make a decision, or act on your request. You may include the detriment or benefit that is the basis for your letter, but don't use emotion or opinion, just the information necessary. The second paragraph can be more than one paragraph, and if you have a lot of facts, you can use a bullet format. Use more than one paragraph only if absolutely necessary.The third paragraph is also known as the 'call to act' paragraph. You tell the recipient what you want them to do. Don't leave them to figure that out, they may not see what it is you need or want and do nothing. If you're just informing them of something, not asking for something, then summarize very briefly and thank them. Always thank the recipient, no matter what the nature of your letter.A business letter should stay focused on the point you are making or the result that you intend. It should not contain feelings, beliefs, or assumptions unless those are directly related to the goal of the letter. A business letter should always use the best possible grammar, etc. regardless of how you normally speak to the recipient(s). Always ensure that the letter includes the necessary information for the recipient to respond or contact you.
Depends on what is your purpose and goal to accomplish. When you use Google with the words, "write a business letter" you'll hit more than one good resource for what you need. In most cases such a letter is to make a connection with a new prospect or invite an account to participate in a promotion of new products and/or services. Recognizing and showing appreciation to an account might also be a purpose for writing a business letter. There are few limits and criteria, only limited only by your imagination.

A business letter will not prove that someone lives with you. Contact the party that requires the proof and ask what documentation they will accept as proof. If you only have the address of the party (no phone number or email address), use the standard format business letter (below) to request that information.Once you know what documentation will be accepted as proof, attach that documentation to another letter, using the same standard business form and list the documents at the bottom of the letter at 'Enclosures'.

Always use a formal greeting for a business letter.Body of letter:first paragraph, state why you are writing the letter.second paragraph, state the information supporting your request. Use one paragraph only unless there is a lot of related information, in which case use bullets if possible.third paragraph, tell the recipient what you want them to do, giving them any information necessary for them to follow through (your phone number, your email address, etc.). Be sure to state any deadline date, if applicable.
