Are you sure the date is on the LEFT side? I have always taught that the date is on the right, under the writer's address.

----- Original Message ----- From: judyastary@xxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: formal letter? Dear Etniers, Please note that the two addresses in a formal letter DO NOT COUNT in the word count. Words are counted in the BODY OF THE LETTER only. Similarly, the formal letter should be constructed in such a way that it has an introduction. a main body and a conclusion in addition to two addresses, a date (left side), and appropriate opening and closing greetings (Dear Sir, Yours sincerely / Yours truly NOT just "Yours"). Students should relate to the topic in a sensible way and use the appropriate formal letter register. You will prevent valuable points being lost if you make sure your students are aware of these points.
