Answer 2

One thing that most people get wrong is the salutation, which is followed by a colon, and not a comma, like in English:

Hola:

By the way, is it a formal or an informal one? Because the sort of sentences used tend to be different.

I am making it a formal letter thanks for the tip - ShelbyMarch10, Sep 1, 2010
