italics?

　　(The writer has used numbers and a title in italics for each paragraph to organize the ideas and to make it easier for the reader to understand and remember the five suggestions.)

3) What is the purpose of the last paragraph of the letter?

　　(To finish the letter in a polite way and to put forward some reasons why the architect should consider the writer's suggestions.)

　　Step 3 Discussion

　　Discuss in groups and work together to write a format of a suggestion letter.

　　1. The heading: This includes the address, line by line, with the last line the date. Skip a line after the heading.

　　2. The greeting: The greeting always ends with a comma. The greeting should be formal, beginning with word "dear".

　　3. The body: It is also known as the main text. Generally speaking, the body includes three parts. The first part (usually the first paragraph) tells the receiver that you are writing this letter to make suggestions on something, and the main part tells clearly what your suggestions are. The last part (usually the last paragraph) asks the receiver to consider your suggestions.

　　4. The complimentary close: This short expression is always a few words in a single line. The complimentary close begins with a capital latter and ends with a comma.

　　5. The signature line: Type or print your name. The handwritten signature goes above this line and below the close. The signature line and the handwritten signature are indented to the same column as the close. The signature should be written in blue or black ink. Skip one to three lines (two on a typewriter), and type in the signature line: the printed name of the person signing the letter. Sign the name in the space between the close and the signature line, starting at the left edge of the signature line.
