Esquire is a (now old fashion/'proper' as my Mum would say) of addressing a gentleman on the envelope. You don't use any title so it is David Smith Esq. rather than Mr. David Smith, the letter would then use the salutation 'Dear Mr Smith'. Should only be used with full names, ie D. Smith Esq is NOT correct. If the person has another title (Dr/Sir) etc again use that and drop the Esq.
