Preparing the envelope

Set out the address on the envelope about half way down
and about a third of the way across. It should be written
exactly as it appears on your letter. The name of the town
should always be written in capital letters. Don’t forget to
include the post code. (See Figure 17.)

Printing the envelope
You can, of course, print out your envelope on the com-
puter. There is also a facility for printing out labels.

Producing a variety of letters

There are a number of different types of letters you may
need to write and it is important that you find the right tone
for each of them. You won’t use the same tone when writing
a letter of sympathy as you will when you are complaining
about a faulty product or poor service. Always keep the
following in mind:
