I usually use the templates in MS Word...

File > New > Letters & Faxes

i think i would put my shit in the upper right corner, then leave a line of space, and put their info on the left

3/31/2006 4:13:40 PM

I'm a personal assistant, and the letterhead that I type on has his info center at the top of the page as a header, but the info of the recipient precedes the "Dear such-and-such."

elkaybie has it right I think

^It's a template, but I see what you're saying.

3/31/2006 4:56:52 PM

aha

also, IMO, I don't think I would include the term "douche bag" in a professional letter.

^ Douche Bag was using himself as the example there

not sure what this thread is about, but how do you think my interview THANK YOU letter sounds:


Thank you very much for the interview today. Having received a description of your operation, I am all the more enthused about the career opportunity that AT&T offers. I look forward to your decision. I recall not having a copy of my DD-214 on hand during the interview. I've attached a copy in pdf format. I can be reached at (305) XXX-XXX or by email at Amsterdam@gmail.com should you need additional information.
