As for typing business letters, the standard practice is to start the content of the letter on the first line after the recipient's address and date. There is generally no requirement to start the letter a specific distance down the page, such as 2 inches. However, it is important to maintain proper formatting and alignment for a professional appearance. You can refer to style guides or templates for business letters to ensure correct formatting and layout.
