About Adding a Letterhead or Signature to a Letter (For Letter Writers)
It is recommended that letters be written on official letterhead, and include a hand-written or digital signature of the writer.
About Adding a Letterhead or Signature
Add Letterhead
The easiest way to include a letterhead is to have the writer type the letter in a template that is already formatted with the letterhead. Many universities and departments have standardized letterhead templates that are provided to professors and administrators. Most medical practices will also have letterhead templates for doctors and staff.
The easiest way to include a handwritten signature is to Print, Sign, Scan, and Upload the letter. It is recommended to use this process for professors or doctors who are less familiar with computer technology.
