Week 2 Homework: Linespace

During class, we talked about the proper Microsoft Word formatting for a formal letter, including line spacing and margins. Some sources differ, but your letter should look something like this (click image to embiggen):


However you choose to format your letter, remember, the line spacing is much different from that of a paper or essay, which should be double spaced so that it is easier to read and so that a teacher can add notes.
