FAQ
(The United States-based convention for formatting a date places the month before the day. For example: June 11, 2001. ) Write out the month, day and year two inches from the top of the page. Depending which format you are using for your letter, either left justify the date or tab to the center point and type the date.
The United States has a rather unique way of writing the date that is imitated in very few other countries (although Canada and Belize do also use the form). In America, the date is formally written in month/day/year form. Thus, “January 1, 2011” is widely considered to be correct.
International Organization Standardization (ISO) date format The ISO date format is YYYY-MM-DD. This international standard recommends writing the date in numbers, starting with the year, then the month, and then the day.
For example, if you were to write a formal business letter, you'd write out the entire date, including the full month. In British English, you could write the date as 6th September 2019. In American English, you could use September 6, 2019.
Remember that for social correspondence, this is the only address that is included (only business/official letters also include the sender's address). The date is written under the address, also on the right-hand side. Remember that the British format for a date is number, month, year – so 1st June 2024.

Write out the full date with no abbreviations. If both you and your recipient of the letter are in the U.S., Belize, or Micronesia, write your date in month-date-year format. For instance, if your letter were dated 02/23/2019, you would write the date as "February 23, 2019."
