NO! Hey, I'm a professional secretary (also a private English tutor) with many years of experience, who has written hundreds of formal letters over the years (including in the days before email and faxes, when ALL communication was by letter or telegram). The address of the writer goes on the right side always, the address of the person to whom the letter is addressed goes on the left side. The date can be either aligned under the address of the writer OR , as the first line, at the left margin.
I am speaking from the real world of letter-writing, folks. That's the way it is.
