Writer&#8217;s Address<br \/>\nThis should be written at the top right hand corner of the page like this:<br \/>\n199, Airport Road,<br \/>\nKano,<br \/>\nNigeria.<br \/>\n15<sup>th<\/sup> July, 2010.<br \/>\n2.

Salutation<br \/>\nThe salutation is the greeting, which comes after the receiver&#8217;s address.<br \/>\n &#8220;Dear Sir&#8221; or &#8220;Dear Madam&#8221;. The &#8220;S&#8221; or &#8220;M&#8221; must be in capital as in the following.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Dear Madam,<br \/>\nDear Sir, <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0There is also a compulsory comma after the salutation. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a04. Heading or Topic or Title<br \/>\nThis comes directly after the salutation but not on the same line. It is only official letter that has a heading and it is normally short e.g. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Invitation to a religious seminar\n<\/li>\n<li>Complaints about the lack of facilities in my area.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The heading should either be written in capital letter all through or underlined when the first word of every lexical item is in capital letter <\/p>\n<p>\u00a05. Body of the Letter<br \/>\nNo room for exchange of pleasantries matters. Slang and contracted forms like won&#8217;t, can&#8217;t. Use polite and formal words <\/p>\n<p>\u00a06.
