Once you have chosen your picture and story, take a screen shot and email it to Ms. Hall at turnintomshall@gmail.com. Put your name as the subject. This way I know which story you have chosen.

You will then write a friendly response letter to the story you have chosen. It needs to be one full page minimum. Today we will begin our rough drafts and work on this until a typed final is required to be turned in. 

Remember to start your letter with a greeting and sign your name at the bottom.

Dear Ms. Jones:                          <---- Greeting/Salutation

(BODY) Business letter format is called block format, using single spacing. For authoritative advice about all the variations, we highly recommend The Gregg Reference Manual, 9th ed. (New York: McGraw-Hill, 2001), a great reference tool for workplace communications. There seems to be no consensus about such fine points as whether to skip a line after your return address and before the date: some guidelines suggest that you do; others do not. Let's hope that your business letter succeeds no matter which choice you make!

When you use the block form to write a business letter, all the information is typed flush left (no indents), with one-inch margins all around. First provide your own address, then skip a line and provide the date, then skip one more line and provide the inside address of the party to whom the letter is addressed. If you are using letterhead that already provides your address, do not retype that information; just begin with the date. For formal letters, avoid abbreviations where possible.

Skip another line before the salutation, which should be followed by a colon. Then write the body of your letter as illustrated here, with no indentation at the beginnings of paragraphs. Skip lines between paragraphs.

After writing the body of the letter, type the closing, followed by a comma, leave 3 blank lines, then type your name and title (if applicable), all flush left. Sign the letter in the blank space above your typed name. Now doesn't that look professional?

Sincerely,           <---- Closing
