How does one format a letter in the Memoir document class for LaTeX?

Probably not the answer you are seeking, but the Memoir manual is great-- I would consult it first.

I've read the excellent manual through, but there's no clear answer. I'd hoped that someone had already done the work ... :) – Brian M. Hunt Jul 15 '09 at 15:53 why not just use the letter class?

– Mica Jul 15 '09 at 16:23 1 @mica: the letter class has broken section headings (i.e. You end up with orphans). The memoir class does not suffer from that issue.

– Brian M. Hunt Sep 8 '09 at 15:11 @Brian: the letter class probably doesn't have a section heading... because its a letter... see en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Letters – Mica Sep 8 '09 at 16:14 @Mica: That's a problem, too, then. :o) – Brian M.

It doesn't appear that Memoir is set up for a letter class out of the box. You might want to consider using scrlttr2 in the KOMA-Script package. Here is an example of its use.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
