Do semi-formal letters have 2 addresses?

Question

And do they have a title after the salutation? No silly answers please!

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

I'm not exactly sure what a "semi" formal letter is; they are classified as business and friendly, I think. I don't think you can go wrong with the address either way. So, you could just use your own or you can include and inside address under yours if you'd like; I don't think it matters. If you don't really know the person to whom you are writing, I think it would be best if you used their title as in: Dear Mr. Smith: or Dear Dr. Smith:.

Answer 3

I'm not too sure about the grammatical technicalities but if you're writing a letter to put in a window envelope then you would put your address in the top right corner, and their address in the top left - to be visible. As for the salutation, all I know is if you put sir/madam then you'd end with Yours Faithfully, if you begin with their name, you end with Yours Sincerely... anymore than that and I'm stuck!

Answer 4

Question is double dutch

You normally start a letter with "Dear Sir" or "Dear Madam" and end in "yours faithfully". In these circumstances if you have a name to address it to it should be marked "for the attention of [name]"

If you are wriitng to a letter starting "Dear Mr" you could use both "yours faithfully" or "yours sincerely"

Dear [first name] must always end yours sincerely

Answer 5

ALL letters MUST have:-

Address they are going FROM (yours)
Address they are TO (recipient)

If the letter starts Dear Sir/Madam, then it ends Yours Faithfully. Or if it starts Dear Mr....... then it ends Yours Sincerely
