Official UFHR Letterhead

• Official UFHR Letterhead

*PLEASE READ BEFORE USE*

For use in formal communications to both internal and external partners, units and individuals. Specific guidelines are as follows:

• Name and Salutation:
  Use recipients name and personal title where possible. In most instances, use the recipient’s full name (ex: Dear Johnathan Smith). If you know the person, it may be acceptable to use their first name (ex: Dear Johnathan). In instances where gender is explicitly provided, you may use the personal title and last name (ex: Dear Mr. Smith). Make sure to leave one line blank after salutation.
• Body and Formatting:
  Use single space, left-justified text with a space between paragraphs. Formal communications should be concise, professional and easily understood. In general, the first paragraph should include a cordial opening and explanation of the main point(s). The following paragraphs should justify the importance of the main point(s) directly.
• Last Paragraph and Closing Statement:
  The last paragraph should reiterate the main point(s) and direct the reader to some sort of call-to-action. The closing statement should begin one line after your last paragraph and leave four lines between itself and the sender’s name/signature.
• Enclosures:
  If you are enclosing any additional documentation, list the name of each document to be physically included or otherwise digitally attached below the closing statement.
