If you double space (hit the return key twice), then type the inside address, there will be one blank line between the date and the inside address. One blank line is the appropriate space.
The line spacing after the inside address in a formal letter is typically single-spaced. After the inside address, a double space is often used before the salutation. This format helps to clearly separate the different sections of the letter for better readability. Always check specific style guidelines, as preferences may vary.
The inside address goes below the writer's address (if letterhead is not used) and the date of the letter.

salutation
A blocked letter style means that all lines begin at the lefthand margin, including the date line, inside address, subject line, salutation, body, valediction, signature line, name, address, initials and added notes. A semi-blocked letter style means that the inside address, subject line, salutation, body, initials and added notes begin at the lefthand margin. The subject line is indented to a standard paragraph indention. And the date line, valediction, signature line, name, and address are indented to a position halfway across the length of the line.
The line spacing used between the inside address and the salutation in a business letter is typically single spacing. This means there is no extra line space added between these two sections. However, it is common to add a double space between the salutation and the body of the letter for clarity.
In a business letter, the salutation typically follows two lines after the last line of the inside address. This spacing helps to visually separate the address from the greeting, ensuring clarity and a professional appearance. Proper formatting is essential in business correspondence as it reflects attention to detail and professionalism.
The inside address is the address where you're going to send the letter to.
inside address
In a business letter, the content that appears 3 to 8 lines below the date line is typically the inside address. This includes the recipient's name, title, company name, and address. It serves to clearly identify the recipient to whom the letter is addressed. Following the inside address, the salutation is usually placed.
