Download this Microsoft Word document. Use the checklist below to help you create a block style business letter. Most, but not all, of the text has already been typed, but formatting needs to be addressed. Save and print the document when you are finished and compare it to the answer key below. Try not to look at the answer key until after you have attempted this activity on your own first.
Please review the following checklist when creating your business letter:
- Was there letterhead? If not, is the return address properly formatted at the top?
- Is the date included?
- Is the inside address properly formatted?
- Is there a greeting line?
- Is the body of the letter left-aligned with a blank space between paragraphs?
- Is there enough space for a signature?
- Are the typist's initials present?
- Are there enclosures that need to be noted and the work enclosure included?
- Is a copy of this going to another person so a CC needs to be included?
