One last peeve-daughter actually had alright as a spelling word!!!! ARRGGGHHH!!! (did any of you know that you never, ever say 'thank-you' at the end of a business letter? Never thank someone for something they did not do yet-say, I appreciate your prompt consideration...)

What are you supposed to say at the end of a business letter? "Thank you
