Spoken Invitation
Email invitation
Mail Address
The way to write an address in English is different from the way of many other languages. In
English, the smallest unit – the person’s name – comes first, and the largest unit, the country
comes last. (If you are mailing a letter that will be delivered inside the same country, of course,
then the largest unit will be the state or province.)
This is the standard order:
Mr./Ms./Mrs./Miss/Dr. + First-Name Last-Name
Title
Ms. Wirda Wulandari Manager
Department HRD
Company Orhid Cop.ltd
Jl. Letjen A. Yani no 42
Street Address Indonesia 12730
City
State
Postal Code Country
Here are some other important rules:
1. For a woman, use 'Ms.' unless you know that she prefers another title. Use the one that she
used if you have already received a letter from her.
2. If the title and department are short, they can be put on the same line: Example: Manager,
Sales Department
3. The country name is used only when you are sending from one country to another.
Therefore, if you are in Japan and sending to someone else in Japan, you do not write
"Japan" in the address.
4. Only American postal codes are called "ZIP" codes; use the word 'postal code' for other
countries. For countries in Western Europe (except Great Britain) the postal code comes
BEFORE the city name: Example: D-451 Hamburg.
5. For the United States, always put the city, state, and ZIP code on the same line, and for
Canada, the city, province, and postal code. States and provinces are usually abbreviated in
address. See the Appendix for a list of the 2-letter abbreviations.
Salutations
This is the greeting at the beginning of the letter, like “Dear Mary,”
If the person you are writing to is a friend, or if you have known the person for a long time
and are on a 'first name basis', then you write: Dear + First-Name + comma:
Example: Dear Bill,
If you do not know the person well, you use: Mr./Ms./Mrs./Miss/Dr. (etc.) + the last name +
colon:
Example: Dear Ms. Jones:
If you do not know the name of the person to whom you are writing, then use 'Sir/Madam' +
colon.
Example: Dear Sir/Madam:
A semi-colon (;) is never used in U.S.-style salutations. Use either a comma or a colon.
British usage is different. They use no comma or colon after the name.
