6. The Complimentary Close<br />

The words you choose to close your letter reflect the impression you want to leave with the<br />

reader. “Regards,” “Very truly yours,” and “Sincerely” are the usual endings, but you may<br />

choose another closing with which you are more comfortable. When in doubt stick with<br />

something more formal.<br />

Following the closing skip four lines and type your name, or the name of the person who has<br />

written and is signing the letter.<br />

7. The Reference<br />

References are typed several lines down from the signature, depending on space available. They<br />

may tell the addressee who wrote and then who typed the letter. In this example, Sam Bronson<br />

typed a letter for his employer, Lorena Samson:<br />

LS:sb<br />

References can indicate enclosures (attached pages) in a letter. There are three ways of stating<br />

this enclosure:<br />

Enc. Enc. (5) Enclosure<br />

They can also designate who received copies of your letter.<br />

c.c.: Jack Remme<br />

Mary White<br />

Postscripts may replace a reference.<br />

P.S. Your immediate reply is urgently awaited, Lorena.<br />
