(4)信的正文
信的正文是信的主体部分，一般在呼语下面空两行开始写，每段的第一行都要空一个字母，正文部分既要内容完整，条理清楚，又要注意必要的礼节。
(5)结束语和谦称
在信的结尾处发信人对收信人往往使用一种谦称。这部分写在正文下面一至两行处，一般在信纸中间或偏右的地方写起，首字母要大写，末尾用“，”。常用谦词有：
Yours truly, Truly yours, Faithfully yours, Yours faithfully, Respectfully yours, Yours respectfully, Yours lovingly, Yours, Yours ever等。
(6)发信人签名
信末的签名一般低于结束用语一至两行，从信纸中间偏右的地方写起。一般要签全名，除非是自己十分熟悉或亲密的人。有时，还要写上发信人的职务或头衔。
另外，有时信中还有附件，这时要在信的左下角注明Encl(enclosure)或Enc.，如：
Enc. Drive License附驾驶执照
如果在写完信后，又有需要补充的内容，可在左下方写P. S. (postscript) 。
