The receiver's address is a crucial part of a formal business letter. It indicates who the letter is intended for and helps in proper delivery.
Detailed Explanation
The receiver's address appears below the date on a formal letter and serves several important purposes. Firstly, it ensures that the letter reaches the correct person or organization, preventing any potential confusion. Additionally, including the address of the receiver also adds a formal touch to the letter, which is essential in business communication. It reflects professionalism and adherence to proper etiquette in correspondence.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you are sending a birthday invitation to a friend. If you forget to write your friend's address, the invitation might get lost or delivered to the wrong person. The same principle applies in business letters — the receiver's address is essential to direct the communication appropriately.

Typically, the receiver's address should include the full name of the recipient, their designation (if applicable), followed by the company name, and the complete address.
Detailed Explanation
When formatting the receiver's address, it is important to provide as much detail as possible. This includes the recipient's name, position (like 'Manager' or 'Sales Executive'), the name of the organization, and the full address including street, city, and postal code. This detailed format ensures clarity and helps the postal service in delivering the letter without any hassle. For example:
The Manager
Star Electronics Pvt. Ltd.
5, Nehru Place
Delhi – 110019.
Examples & Analogies
Think of the receiver's address as the destination on a GPS when you're navigating to a new location. The more accurate and detailed your input, the easier it is for the system to guide you where you need to go. In the same way, a well-structured receiver's address leads your letter to its intended recipient.

The receiver's address is positioned after the date, ensuring it is one of the first things the recipient sees.
Detailed Explanation
In a formal letter structure, the receiver's address comes right after the date, typically aligned to the left side. This placement is important because it makes the address one of the first elements the recipient notices. By seeing the receiver's address early on, the recipient can quickly identify that the message is intended for them, reinforcing the personal touch in the communication.
Examples & Analogies
Consider receiving a package at home. As soon as you see your name and address on the package, you instantly know it’s meant for you. Similarly, by placing the receiver's address right after the date in a business letter, you ensure quick recognition of the intended recipient.
