    Question of the Day

    E-mail Print PDF

    Question:
    When closing a business letter, do all words begin with a capital letter – or only the first? For example, should I write In Strength and Unity or In strength and unity?

    Answer:
    The rule is to capitalize only the first word, so In strength and unity (followed by a comma) is correct. In general, it is wise to use standard closings like Sincerely.
