1. Re-create
a business
lett erhead.
L
ett erhead is a sheet of stati onery preprinted to include the name, address,
logo, and other informati on of an organizati on. Businesses use lett erhead
stati onery to send lett ers and other forms of correspondence. Regardless of
the type of business, lett erhead should always be professional and project an
appropriate image of the company.
The informati on contained within the lett erhead should not interfere with
the body of a document, so the content is usually placed inside of a header, a
footer, or a combinati on of both.
In this acti vity, you will re-create a lett erhead for a seafood business.
