Letters
=======

   You can use LaTeX to typeset letters, both personal and business.
The `letter' document class is designed to make a number of letters at
once, although you can make just one if you so desire.

   Your `.tex' source file has the same minimum commands as the other
document classes, i.e., you must have the following commands as a
minimum:

      \documentclass{letter}
      \begin{document}
       ... letters ...
      \end{document}

   Each letter is a `letter' environment, whose argument is the name
and address of the recipient.  For example, you might have:

      \begin{letter}{Mr. Joe Smith\\ 2345 Princess St.
           \\ Edinburgh, EH1 1AA}
        ...
      \end{letter}

   The letter itself begins with the `\opening' command.  The text of
the letter follows.  It is typed as ordinary LaTeX input.  Commands that
make no sense in a letter, like `\chapter', do not work.  The letter
closes with a `\closing' command.

   After the `closing', you can have additional material.  The `\cc'
command produces the usual "cc: ...".  There's also a similar `\encl'
command for a list of enclosures. With both these commands, use `\\' to
separate the items.

   These commands are used with the `letter' class:

\address: Your return address.
\cc: Cc list.
\closing: Saying goodbye.
\encl: List of enclosed material.
\location: Your organisation's address.
\makelabels: Making address labels.
\name: Your name, for the return address.
\opening: Saying hello.
\ps: Adding a postscript.
\signature: Your signature.
\startbreaks: Allow page breaks.
\stopbreaks: Disallow page breaks.
\telephone: Your phone number.
