Although modern copiers and printers have rendered carbon copies obsolete, the "cc" abbreviation for carbon copy is still widely used in letters and emails as an indication that a copy of the correspondence has been sent to another person. You can cc several recipients in your business letters and should follow the accepted format for indicating that multiple copies have been distributed.
Type "cc:" at the bottom of your letter at the left margin. The cc notation is generally the final item on a business letter.
Type a space after the colon and type the name of the first person receiving a copy. The name may be preceded by a title, but this is not required.
Optionally, put a comma after the name and follow it with a job title. For example: Mr. William Smith, V.P. of Finance.
Add the next name on a new line. Use the space bar or tab key to line up the name with the name above.
Continue adding cc names on new lines until all recipients have been identified.
- Multiple cc names in email correspondence are generally separated by a comma.
