If I want to send out a letter and in closing says,

If you have an questions, please call Fins. You can also email at [email protected].

What's the proper way to include the phone number? Do I just add, "at 555-1234"? Or just put it in parentheses after my name?

It's not an email. It would be an old fashioned paper letter. Actually, calling it a letter is not correct. I should have described it as a flier or information hand out. So it's not a a communication directly from myself to the person receiving it, which is why I didn't go with "My phone number is..."

Will you include a logo? Does your logo include address and phone number?
Let's assume the answer to this is no. At the end of the flier include your address, phone number and email

Always include your area code. Assuming the recipient will know your area code is a bad idea in this day and age, and many carriers require it for local calls.

I prefer the 702-300-0101 format, dropping the more often than not superfluous 1 at the beginning. I'm not sure when or why people started using dots (i.e 702.300.0101); likely to be cute or make themselves seem super technical geniuses; we are all impressed.

im glad to see some things don't change. ;)

Thanks, it makes more sense to move the whole statement, "If you have any questions, please call..." To the end, then place contact info for myself and anyone else I want to list at the bottom.

Since this is a flier, hand out of sorts. I wouldn't includ the words "if you have any questions, please call me..."

To me, that sounds like it's a person to person letter. Rather than a company to community. Which is what you want with a flier.

Here are my examples.

[email protected]
543-555-1234

Or
E-mail: [email protected]
Phone: 543-555-1234

Note that I put the dash in the e-mail. I did this so that the two would line up at the : and beginning of the contact info. Basically line up the start of the two contact information.

I didn't mean to cause this much confusion. I apologize, in an effort to avoid Ernie ranting about an OT post, I didn't state what I'm actually working on. It's not a business related document. It's a to give to parents of any new scouts in my cub scout pack informing them of policies, upcoming events, dress codes, etc. I was trying to just update a document from previous years but found no phone number was ever included.

That should consist of a hand scribbled note on the back of a peeled off Budweiser label..

Technically, the BSA does not allow any alcohol at any events. So you have to pour it into a Mountain Dew bottle.

I doubt this would helpful for your OP. But maybe future fliers it would.
