Try adding the \opening{} command like so: \documentclass{letter} \begin{document} \address{John Jones\\ 123 A St.\\ Anytown, AW AB3 4AA} \begin{letter}{Mr. Joe Smith\\ 2345 Princess St.\\ Edinburgh, EH1 1AA} \opening{Dear Sir,} Each letter is a `letter' environment, whose argument is the name and address of the recipient. For example, you might have: \end{letter} \end{document} -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maurice Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.
