How to format a simple but formal email or letter in Chinese?
I'm not sure if this is also a cultural question, but I'm just curious how to write a simple but professional looking email or letter when using Mandarin. Mainly like how in English I would write:

Dear...,

.... ....

Sincerely,
Ty

What would be the proper way to format this when writing in Mandarin?

If it is simply the format we are talking about, I would go like this.

       。。。。。。
       。。。。。。。
