by line, with the last line being the date. skip a line after the heading. 2. the greetingthe greeting always ends with a comma. the greeting should be formal, beginning with the word “dear”.3. the bodyalso known as the main text. generally speaking, the body includes three parts. the first part (usually the first paragraph) tells the receiver that you are writing this letter to make suggestions on something, and the main part tells clearly what your suggestions are. the last part (usually the last paragraph) asks the receiver to consider your suggestions. dont forget to encourage the receiver to take your suggestions. skipping a line between paragraphs, especially in typed or printed copy, also helps the reader.4. the complimentary closethis short expression is always a few words on a single line. the complimentary close begins with a capital letter and ends with a comma. 5. the signature linetype or print your name. the handwritten signature goes above this line and below the close. the signature line and the handwritten signature are indented to the same column as the close. the signature should be written in blue or black ink. skip from one to three spaces (two on a typewriter), and type in the signature line the printed name of the person signing the letter. sign the name in the space between the close and the signature line, starting at the left edge of the signature line.step practicedeal with ex 4-6 on page 9.ask students to work in groups and discuss how accessible their community is for people with disabilities. then discuss ways in which their
