- The business letter is commonly keyed on a letterhead,
- a form that has a preprinted heading. Usually this heading
- includes both the name and address of the company for which
- the letter is being keyed. Thus, the keyboarder needs only
- to key in the date to complete the heading. The letterhead
- is used only for the first page of a letter. If there is a
- second letter page, this page and any additional pages that
- might follow, are keyed on plain stationery. However, each
- page of the letter that follows the letterhead must possess
- a paper quality that closely equals that of the letterhead.
- The second and subsequent pages of any business letter
- should be provided a heading. The heading correctly begins
- on line seven in order to provide for a one inch top margin
- on the page. The initial line is to identify the recipient
- of the letter. The second heading line, that must be keyed
- below the first if the vertical arrangement is used, states
- the correct page number in numeral form. The final line of
- the heading indicates the date of the letter. This heading
- date must, of course, agree with the date positioned on the
- letterhead. A keyed heading is followed by a triple space.
