Hi All:
I am rewriting 450 standard letters. Lucky me. In the reference block, I'm
wondering which is the more "modern" style:
Mr Fred Nurk
12 Blah St
Sydney
Our Reference Number : 3456
Or....
Mr Fred Nurk
12 Blah St
Sydney
Our Reference No.: 3456
Or....
Our Reference: 3456
Normally a little question, but it looms large when you have to do it 450 times.
Garry
