Date

The date shows when the rejoinder was written. It helps in keeping a record and provides

context for the response. The date should be placed directly below the sender’s address after

skipping one line. Use a standard date format such as “20th August 2024” or “August 20,

2024.”

Example

12 Oak Street,

Accra,

Ghana.

20th August, 2024

Reference

The reference refers to the specific article, statement, or issue being addressed in the

rejoinder. This makes it clear what your response is about.

The reference should be clearly labelled and placed after the date, following one skipped line.

It typically begins with “Re:” or “Reference:”.

Example:

Response to the article titled “The State of Education in Ghana,” published in The Daily

Times on 15th August 2024.

Recipient’s Address

The recipient's address specifies who the rejoinder is being sent to. This could be the editor

of a newspaper, the author of the original article, or another relevant party.

The recipient's address is placed below the reference after skipping one line.
