1. Heading 🟪 The heading includes the sender’s address and the date. Begin an inch from the top of the page at the left margin.

2. Inside Address 🟪 The inside address includes the name and address of the person or organization you are writing to. Place it at the left margin, four to seven spaces below the heading. If the person has a special title, such as park ranger, include it after the person’s name. (Use a comma first.)
