It is best to type an envelope for a business letter. Most word document programs contain an envelope labelling function to help you. All you need to do is indicate the size of envelope you are using and type the correct information in the appropriate fields, for example:
Ms. Maggie Jones Angel Cosmetics Inc. 110 East 25th Street New York NY 10021 USA |

Hi Folks, thought I would add my 2 baht worth here since I usually write a good business letter. Below is a copy of how I format my letter. Also, keep up to date from the internet to see what's new.
{NOTE: your name goes only at the bottom}
Your Return Address (no abbreviations for Street, Avenue, etc.)
Your City, YO [your two letter state abbreviation] zip
Date (write out either like June 4, 2004 or 4 June 2004)
First and Last Name of the Person to whom you are writing
Address
City, ST zip
Dear Mr./Ms. Person: [note the colon]
Times have changed, and indentations for paragraphs are usually not used because it is easier not to use them. The body paragraphs should be single spaced in a business letter. But you should double space between paragraphs when your letter contains more than one paragraph.
In a second paragraph, you will want to give a specific example of how you benefited from your contact with this person. Be sure to thank him/her for his/her time and efforts on your behalf.
Sincerely yours,
{three spaces so that your signature may appear here}
