Hello Choudhary As you have already indicated there are correct and incorrect ways to address the Pope in a letter. The envelope or letter address should be: "His Holiness, Pope John Paul II" or "His Holiness, the Pope" The appropriate start is: "Your Holiness" or "Most Holy Father" The ending of the letter is somewhat less strict and depends largely on the content of the letter. A simple "Yours" or "Respectfully yours" is perfectly acceptable as is something more religious or simply your signature. On searching the internet I have found many open letters to the Pope, here are a selection of endings in the letters: "Respectfully yours in Christ" "Yours, in the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary" "With hope" "For the love of God" For further examples of letters to the Pope you can click here: ://www.google.com/search?q=%22letter+to+pope+john+paul%22 Links to addressing the Pope: http://www.cftech.com/BrainBank/OTHERREFERENCE/FORMSOFADDRESS/SpkWritFrmsAddr.html http://www.kensmen.com/catholic/addressingclergy.html If you have any further questions on this subject please ask for clarification and I will do all I can to help. |
