The recipient's address (or the inside address, or the direction, as it is sometimes called)
contains the name and address of the office, institution or individual to whom the letter is directed
and it is typed (in social or formal letters) in the lower left-hand part of the letter sheet two or three
spaces below the signature. In any case the recipient's address should be written in exactly the same
form as the address on the envelope.
The titles "Miss", "Mrs" (or a substitute form: "Ms") are mostly used in official correspondence.
For instance: "Mrs. A.B. Jones".
The word "Mr." is never used with a name when you are writing the title "Esquire" (Esq.) after it.
The proper form is: "A.S. Parkinson, Esq". The abbreviation "Messrs" is the plural form of the
French word "Monsieur" ("Mister") and is used before a list of men's names: "Messrs. Smith,
Brown and Parkinson", and before the names of business partners: "Messrs. T. Brown & Co.", or
"Messrs. Dombey & Sons". In circular notes the title "Messrs" is often used along with the title
"Mesdames", when addressing heads of missions among whom there are women.
The titles, scientific degrees and professional occupations are placed after the surname: Mr. A.B.
Brown, associate professor; Mr. P.A. Ivanov B.A. (Bachelor of Arts); Mrs. R.A. Brown M.A.
(Master of Arts); Mrs. J.A. Smith L.L.D. (Doctor of Laws). The letters: "Prof.", "Dr.", "Hon.",
"Rev." are placed before the names: "Prof. Jane Smith"; "Dr. John Clark"; "Hon. Jack White" (the
title "Honorable" ("Hon.") is used for senators, congressmen, ambassadors, governors, judges,
mayors, heads of government departments.)
