I appreciate the help with the letter writing, however, I need to know if the person's name goes first or second in the address.
Is it:
Cheers Gifts
Jeanne DeFazio
436 Beaver Street
Sewickley, PA 15143
or, is it:
Jeanne DeFazio
Cheers Gifts
436 Beaver Street
Sewickley, PA 15143

THE PERSON ABOVE ME IS WRONG: LOOK IT UP IN PROPER LETTER WRITING!!
It goes like this:
Blah Blah Inc.
100 Anywhere Avenue
Anywhere, FL, 12345
Dear Mr. Blah,
I am writing you this letter because I want a million dollars.
Sincerely, (space down 4 times)
Your name (sign above)
That should give you the idea. Don't forget the date that goes FIRST at the very top, then space down 2 spaces.

Your details come first, then the date, followed by the person to whom the letter is being address to, the company name and address. Usually a letter will consist of 3 paragraphs, you can end your letter with Regards, or Yours Sincerely followed by your signature and name.
Dear Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms
Regards,
I have have studied and been employed in Administration and this is how it's done in Australia, if it's done differently in America then please forgive my ignorance and lack of ability to answer a question without being told that I am wrong.
Also when you write a letter you usually include your details, just take a look at any company logo!
Exactly how else are you supposed to correspond or get in contact with the person who wrote the letter, if their details aren't there?
If you're using office stationary that has a letter head obviously you won't need to include your name and address at the top, although nothing was specified as to what sort of letter this is.

It should read like this:
Cheers Gifts
c/o Jeanne DeFazio
436 Beaver Street
Sewickley, PA 15143
The c/o means... in care of.

You can put the company name first; then say:
Attn: the person's name
& department if it's a large company.
The alternative, less formal way is:
The person's name,
c/o the Company Name.

I think you are supposed to write the name and then the company name and then the address. For example:
Fred Flintstone
Sales Manager
Cheese Specialists Inc.
456 Rubble Road
Rockville, IL

I tend to put the person's name first. That way, one has a consistency in going from finer to coarser addresses.
