Three empty spaces Each paragraph should be separated by a space. Between your closure (such as "Sincerely" or "Sincerely Yours") and the typed name, leave three spaces. There should be a gap between your header (contact information) and your greeting (such as, "Dear Mr. Roberts"). Finally, put a space after your closing sentence ("Good-bye," "Have a nice day," etc.). These spaces indicate that you have finished writing your letter and allow for easy editing if needed.
