Standard Format: After your signature, add the abbreviation (e.g., “for/on behalf of”) and then the name of the person on whose behalf you are acting. For example: “Max Mustermann, for/on behalf of Maria Schmidt”.
If you are addressing the letter to a specific person, your envelope address should include: The recipient's title and full name. The company name. The company mailing address.
Business Address: When sending a package to someone at their place of business, write the company's name on the first line followed by the recipient's name on the second. Alongside your recipient's name, add their department, if you know it.

The salutation (or greeting) in a business letter is always formal. It often begins with “Dear {Person's name}.” Once again, be sure to include the person's title if you know it (such as Ms., Mrs., Mr., or Dr).
Provide the name, company name, street address, city, state, and ZIP code of the person to whom you are sending the letter. While it is best to address your letter to a specific person when possible, if you do not have the name of a specific person, you can simply provide the company's name and address.
3. Format the letter correctly. Heading. Start by including your name and mailing address at the top of the page. Salutation. Address the letter to the appropriate recipient. Introduction. Introduce who you are, as applicable, and the reason for writing. Body. Conclusion. Closing. Signature. Enclosures.
A good business letter is brief, straightforward, and polite. If possible, it should be limited to one single-spaced typewritten page. Because it is so brief, a business letter is often judged on small, but important, things: format, grammar, punctuation, openings and closings.
You may not be trying to create a wonder of the world, but effective written business communication probably means a lot to you in your job role. Do humanity proud by keeping the seven Cs in mind: completeness, conciseness, consideration, clarity, concreteness, courtesy, and correctness.
