GREETING: The greeting usually starts with 'Dear' and is followed the person's name and then a comma. 3. BODY: After skipping a line, you begin the body of your letter which is the main text of your letter. Indent for each new paragraph.4. CLOSING: The closing includes a short capitalized expression such as 'Sincerely' or 'Love' and is followed by a comma. Skip a line after the body before writing your closing. 5.
