Please tell me if the following questions are true or false:
In most instances a subject line is an essential part of a business letter.
On an envelope the mailing address should always be single-spaced.
The main purpose of a business report is to provide information about a particular subject.
If a letter requires two pages, you should use letterhead stationary for both pages.
Interoffice memos are commonly used for communications circulated outside a company.
In the mailing address on an envelope, the name of the state must be represented by a two-letter abbreviation written in all-capital letters.
If you write and key the letter for yourself, you should use your initials as the reference initials.
If a letter is addressed to a company, you would use Ladies and Gentlemen as the salutation.
A comma should never appear between the state name or abbreviation and the ZIP Code number in an address
