Date: Whoever receives the letter needs to know when the letter was written. It’s best to use a standard U.S. format.
Recipient’s address: A full recipient address also helps ensure the letter doesn’t get lost in the office shuffle wherever you are sending it.
Salutation: A “To whom it may concern” or “Dear Sir or Madam” is a good way to ensure that your letter goes nowhere.
Body: Time is money in the business world, so get down to business and quickly make your case or communicate your message.
Closing/signature: Stick with a more formal closing such as “Sincerely” or “Thank you.” You should only capitalize the first word of the closing.
Enclosures: If there are additional items to enclose with the letter, it’s best to list them, so that the recipient remembers what was included with the letter.

The heading: Frequently, the header of a friendly letter will include the sender's mailing address and the date for the letter. Depending on the letter's recipient, it may take a little while for the letter to reach its destination
The greeting: friendly letters will have a greeting of "Dear person's name." Since the person sending this type of letter usually knows whom they are sending the letter to.
The body: In the body of a letter, the writer will include all information they are relaying to the person receiving the letter. This will consist of an introduction, a body, and a conclusion..
Closing: One of the final things a writer should include in a friendly letter is a closing. This may consist of "Best regards," "Warmly," "Truly," "Best wishes," "Sincerely," "Your friend," "Best," or any other ideas.
