  Acutally the whole format thing is bullsh1t.
  
  roughly there's a format, but when u get to read alot of business letters from other ppl, you will see there's NO "Standard Format" at all.
  
  The way ppl place the date, can be anywhere.
  
  They way they put Name and job title can be
  "Mr.Tan Ku Ku,
  Marketing Manager"
  Or
  "Mr. Tan Ku Ku, Marketing Manger"
  
  And on the Dear line, some put full name, some put last name only.
  
  Some put subject, some dont put.
  
  So who is right who is wrong?
  So who is there to judge which is the perfect format??
  And does it really matter if i dont put the date at place you expected?
  
  That's for letters, for emails, it's even more casual..... forget about the formats.

  Besides communicating well, you also want to give a good impression of yourself or your organization.
  
  Executives do not read letters words for word, they scan the piece of paper looking for WHO, WHEN, WHAT, WHICH, HOW.
  Lawyers read the letter line by line, carefully.
  Pen-pals look for WHO and WHAT gleefully.
  Mothers get excited just receiving the letter.
  
  So write according to your reader.
  
  You can choose to heck care because others do not bother.
  Thats your choice. There are no marks deducted.
  You only create a poor impression by a badly written letter.
