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.
Place the year before the month and conclude with the day. The same date, which would be 10/09/22 in American English but 09/10/22 in British English becomes 2022-10-09 in the International Standard. You could also write this date out as 2022 October 9. Don't use commas between any of the data points.
This format puts the year first, followed by the month and then the day, i.e. YYYY-MM-DD. For example: 2023-04-12 would be 12 April 2023. 2024-08-05 would be 05 August 2024.
When we say dates in English we use ordinal numbers. So for 1 January, we don't say the cardinal number 'one' but we say 'first'.
Formal letters/emails For an American audience, it's usually formatted as Month Day, Year (e.g., “August 30, 2023”), while a British audience would expect it to be written as Day Month Year (e.g., “30 August 2023”).
Range of dates Use whole date (day, month, year) if years are different, e.g. 1 January 1990–5 February 1995. Only include the year after the second date if the months are the same, e.g. 1 January–5 February 1990. Only include the month and year after the second date if these are the same, e.g. 1–5 January 1990.
Legal experts agree that you should write all four digits when dating legal documents, regardless of the year. However, writing out the entire year as 2020 is especially important now. Here's a few examples of how the wrong date could affect your legal document: Backdating a deed to protect real estate from a creditor.
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.
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.
Include your name before your address and your email address or phone number so the recipient knows how to contact you. Include the date. Start with the most appropriate greeting. Use the most professional form of the recipient's name. Begin the letter with an agreeable tone. Open with the purpose of writing the letter.
