A.    Parts of Business Letter
·   The Heading or Letterhead. Companies usually use printed paper where heading or letterhead is specially designed at the top of the sheet. It bears all the necessary information about the organisation’s identity.
·        Date. Date of writing. The month should be fully spelled out and the year written with all four digits October 6, 2013. The date is aligned with the return address. The number of the date is pronounced as an ordinal figure, though the endings st, nd, rd, th, are often omitted in writing. The article before the number of the day is pronounced but not written. In the body of the letter, however, the article is written when the name of the month is not mentioned with the day.
·       Reference Line. Reference lines should be used when the letter refers to several invoices, letters, or telephone conversations. They eliminate the need to include such information in the opening paragraph. Reference lines or blocks appear immediately below or two lines below the date line, depending upon company preference. They can begin with RE or References. If several references are listed, each may be preceded by a number or letter identifier to facilitate ease of referral (by number or letter) within the body of the document. In documents of multiple pages, reference lines may appear under the date in the heading of all pages.
·    The Inside Address – In a business or formal letter you should give the address of the recipient after your own address. Include the recipient’s name, company, address and postal code. Add job title if appropriate. Separate the recipient’s name and title with a comma. Double check that you have the correct spelling of the recipient ‘s name.
·         Attention Line. The attention line in a business letter is an element whose conventions are often misunderstood or unknown when the writer is drafting the letter. Although it is a single formality in light of the entire document, the incorrect format can lead to confusion by the recipient or undercut the sender’s professional appearance.
·    Salutation. Salutation in a business letter is always formal. It often begins with Dear {Persons name}. Once again, be sure to include the persons title if you know it (such as Ms., Mrs., Mr., or Dr). If you are unsure about the persons title then just use their first name.
7. The Subject Line (optional). Its inclusion can help the recipient in dealing successfully with the aims of your letter. Normally the subject sentence is preceded with the word Subject: or Re: Subject line may be emphasized by underlining, using bold font, or all captial letters. It is usually placed one line below the greeting but alternatively can be located directly after the “inside address,” before the “greeting.”
·      The Body Paragraphs. The body is where you explain why you’re writing. It’s the main part of the business letter. Make sure the receiver knows who you are and why you are writing but try to avoid starting with “I”. Use a new paragraph when you wish to introduce a new idea or element into your letter. Depending on the letter style you choose, paragraphs may be indented. Regardless of format, skip a line between paragraphs.
·         Complementary Close. This short, polite closing ends with a comma. It is either at the left margin or its left edge is in the center, depending on the Business Letter Style that you use. It begins at the same column the heading does.
·       Signature and Writer’s identification. The signature is the last part of the letter. You should sign your first and last names. The signature line may include a second line for a title, if appropriate. The signature should start directly above the first letter of the signature line in the space between the close and the signature line. Use blue or black ink.
·        Enclosure. An enclosure notation reminds readers of enclosures and appears directly under reference initials. The following are examples of enclosure notation forms
Types of enclosures may be indicated:
Enclosures
1. Invoice 6234-44
2. Graph of sales activity
3. Letter of authorization
Items “enclosed” but separately sent should be indicated as follows:
Enclosures
1. Invoice 6234-44 Sent separately
2. Letter of authorization
3. Price list
·         Carbon Copy Notation. A carbon copy notation (showing the distribution of the letter) appears two lines below the enclosure notation and flush with the left margin:
example: CC : Mr. Setyo Aji Pamungkas

B.     Format of Business Letter
·         Format Block (Block Format) : Business Letter
