***** Notice that this Letter talks about application documents which are enclosed.  Because of that, you have the word Enclosure a double space under the end of your letter.

*****Sometimes, templates will cause a big space to occur that will not delete.  I will show you how to change the line spacing if this occurs to fix this problem.
