Sender's address on the right
Normally in the UK the sender's address is right aligned, sometimes with the date below also aligned to the right. I agree that this page should also cover British English.

If you know how a UK business letter is supposed to look, add the information yourself. Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia edited by everyone, so if you have the knowledge why not share? 69.37.208.212 (talk) 16:59, 30 August 2009 (UTC)


 * When I was taught how to write a business letter in the U.S. in the sixties,the sender's address was right aligned, with the date underneath it. This is the "modified block format. "The modified block style is a                traditional format widely used for many years."

 * I was also taught in these United States that senders' addresses and dates are shifted rightward. The difference is that I was taught this in the '00s, not the '60s.  allixpeeke (talk) 22:50, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

cc: and initials
This page fails to say where the "cc:" appears, what "cc:" means, where the typist initials appear, that the typist initials ought to be lower case, and when these things ought to even be included. allixpeeke (talk) 22:45, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Colon after "Attention"
Should there be a colon after the word "Attention", if that line is used? I learned that way, but we're not currently showing it in our form. – void  xor  22:50, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
