This address should be displayed beneath your address on the left-hand side, remember to include the name of the person that you are writing to (if known).Date:This should be displayed on the right-hand side of the page on the line beneath your address and should be written in full format:e.g. 1st January 2001Salutation & Greeting:1) Dear Sirs,
If you do not know the name of the person that you are writing to, use the greeting "Dear Sirs,". In some circumstances it is useful to find a name, especially if you are making a request as this will show that you have done your homework and you are more likely to receive a response.2) Dear Mr Jones,
If you know the name, use one of the following titles:Mr - for a male
Mrs - for a married female
Miss - for an unmarried female
Ms - for a female whose status is unknown or would prefer to remain anonymous
Dr - for a person with the status of a doctorThis should be followed by the surname only (not the first name).Concluding:1) Yours faithfully,

Sign your name, then print it underneath the signature. If it is potentially unclear what your title would be then include this in brackets next to your printed name.
