Proper Business Letter Format?

Could someone please give me the proper format of a business letters? Over the years I’ve had people show me many different styles of intending and ordering of the addresses and date, or whether to do things such as intend each paragraph.

I can find hundreds of websites, but each one gives a slightly different format. For those of you out there who send or receive many formal letters, what is the standard or most widely used format?

I’m thinking something like this:

Sender address right justified
double space
Receiver address left aligned
double space
Date left aligned (or right?)
double space
Greeting
double space
Letter body with double spaces between paragraphs and no paragraph indents
double space
Salutation
triple space (sign here later)
Sender name typed

Thanks!!!

It looks good.
