To format a professional business letter to a bank, you need to consider the proper letter measurements and alignment. Here are the standard measurements:
1. Left margin: 1 inch
This means that the text on the left side of the page should start 1 inch from the edge.
2. Top margin: 2 inches
The top of the page should have a blank space of 2 inches before the text starts. This allows room for letterhead information if you choose to include it.
3. Right margin: 1.5 inches
The text on the right side of the page should end 1.5 inches from the edge. This helps maintain a balanced appearance.
4. Bottom margin:
The standard bottom margin for a business letter is generally around 1 inch. This allows for enough white space, but it can be adjusted slightly depending on your preference.
Regarding the page header, since you mentioned that you don't need one, you can leave it blank. This means that there is no specific measurement for the header. However, if you decide to include a header, you can typically use the same top margin measurement of 2 inches.
For detailed instructions and examples, I recommend visiting the webpage you mentioned: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/pw/p_basicbusletter.html. It provides comprehensive guidance on formatting a professional business letter, including measurements and alignment.
