Habitat Helpers

This week we wrote Ms. Shelby an email informing her on how we are excited to working on this project. We are beginning to prepare the website for the Habitat for Humanity. We looked over the old design of the website and we think that we can make it better. We would like for the website to be appealing to all ages and one that people want to look at. This week we are planning on meeting to compare ideas and decide on what we should begin with on the website.

Designing Your Document

Our book provides a clear list of things to do in order to write a clear, readable, and well-designed business letter. It contends that in order to write a letter that physically looks good on paper, you should do the following:

• Use quality white paper.
  
• Use standard size envelopes.
• Center the letter on the page so that it is surrounded with white space.
• Put the date 3 lines underneath the letterhead, or below the address line.
• Put the inside address 2-6 lines below the date, make sure it is on the left side of the page.
• Make sure your margins are atleast one inch.
• If you have a letterhead use full-block style.
• If you are using a blank sheet of paper use modified-block style.
• Put the salutation 2 lines underneath the inside address, on the left side of the page.
• Begin the body 2 lines below the salutation.
• Paragraphs should be single space, but there should be a double space between paragraphs.
• Place the closing 2 lines below the body.
• If the letter is 2 pages, make sure page 2 has atleast 2 lines of text from the body.
• Lastly make sure each part is spaced, and placed correctly.
• You might also include typist initials, enclosure notation, cc (appears on all copies), and bcc (appears onlu on the leter to the blind copy recipient), 2 lines underneath the closing.
  

Introduction

Hey everyone,
We are team Habitat Helpers! My name is Erin and I am the group leader and secretary. Our team's PR person is Carson. Sara was chosen to be our designer, and Quiesha is the team writer. We are all looking forward to working together to help the Habitat Restore. I feel that with our different majors and ideas, we will be able to come up with many interesting and useful designs that the Habitat Web page will greatly benefit from. All in all, this project will be challenging, but at the same time fun, and will hopefully teach us all some new skills.
