The first reason you put a return address at the top of a business letter is good manners; the same as when you meet someone you tell them your name or if you're making a business phone call, you tell them who is calling.
The practical reason that you put a return address at the top of a business letter is so that a response can be sent. Even if the sender is not asking for or expecting a response, the recipient may have a need to reach you about something you may not be aware of related to the subject of your letter, or even to thank you.
If you send a letter to a business without a return address, your letter will not be given the appropriate attention or credibility if the recipient believes that you are trying to be deceptive or remain anonymous.

Where is the address located on a letterhead?
Depends on whether you mean the printed letterhead address. That would be at the top, in the center of stationery. If you mean the address to whom you are sending the letter, it would be on the left side, several lines separating that from the letterhead address on top. The inside address, you type the several lines for the name and address, then skip one line and put the date there, skip another line and put the salutation, "Dear Horatio," or Charlie, or whoever.
