<h1>Letters</h1>
<P>

<P>
You can use LaTeX to typeset letters, both personal and business. The
<CODE>letter</CODE> document class is designed to make a number of letters at
once, although you can make just one if you so desire.
</P>
<P>
Your <TT>`.tex'</TT> source file has the same minimum commands as the other
document classes, i.e., you must have the following commands as a
minimum:
</P>
<PRE>
\documentclass{letter}
\begin{document}
... letters ...
\end{document}
</PRE>
<P>
Each letter is a <CODE>letter</CODE> environment, whose argument is the name
and address of the recipient. For example, you might have:
</P>
<PRE>
\begin{letter}{Mr. Joe Smith\\ 2345 Princess St.
\\ Edinburgh, EH1 1AA}
...
\end{letter}
</PRE>
<P>
The letter itself begins with the <CODE>\opening</CODE> command. The text of
the letter follows. It is typed as ordinary LaTeX input. Commands that
make no sense in a letter, like <CODE>\chapter</CODE>, do not work. The letter
closes with a <CODE>\closing</CODE> command.
</P>
<P>
After the <CODE>closing</CODE>, you can have additional material. The
<CODE>\cc</CODE> command produces the usual "cc: ...". There's also a similar
<CODE>\encl</CODE> command for a list of enclosures. With both these commands,
use <CODE>\\</CODE> to separate the items.
</P>
<P>
These commands are used with the <CODE>letter</CODE> class:
