Need help writing a letter. (1 Viewer)

[Dammit]

Hello, I have a task where I am required to

"write a letter to a TV producer suggesting he should explore this idea in a program."

I am wondering - can someone tell me what the correct format of writing a letter is? is this right:

                                                               [Right Justified]My Name
                                                               [Right Justified]10 Street St,
                                                               [Right Justified]Sydney,
                                                               [Right Justified]NSW, 2001.

[Left Justified]Recipients Name
[Left Justified]11 Street St,
[Left Justified]Sydney,
[Left Justified]NSW, 2001.

                       [Title for my letter (Centered)]

Kind Regards,

Umm, its best to check with a text book because there are so many ways in which a letter is set out -- they keep on changing the format.
Last time I had to write a letter for the HSC, everything was justified left and we did not have to place a title for the letter, but I know some letters that reply to others place an "Re:" in this position, referring to what the last letter was about. The letter should have the Dear Sir/Madam before the Re bit. Each new paragraph is on it's own, ie. double space between paragraphs.

That's from memory but you should check with the English Syllabus which should provide eg. on how to write a letter.
