\begin{letter}{Dear Colleagues,}

This is a sample letter written with the new style file entitled 
``diletter.sty''. This style file can be used as a $package$ with the 
\LaTeXe  distributions (used in the departmental Unix cluster) as 
well as those used in contemporary Linux distributions.

In order to use this style-file, you want to include 
``diAthina.ps'' into the directory containing
the ``diletter.sty'' file. 
The ``diAthina.ps'' post/ghost-script file  depicts Athena-The-Goddess,
the official logo of the University.

The intuitive user-invoked commands included in the package are:
\begin{enumerate}
\item {\sl $\backslash$myname\{\}:} 
	The first and last name of the writer.
\item {\sl $\backslash$myemail\{\}:} 
	The writer's e-mail address. Optional use.
\item {\sl $\backslash$myweb\{\}:} 
	The writer's web-site. Optional use.
\item {\sl $\backslash$mytitle\{\}:} 
	The ``official'' title of the letter-writer (e.g., Ms., Mr., 
	Dr., Prof., etc.). It can remain empty.
\item {\sl $\backslash$myrank\{\}:} 
		The rank of the writer (e.g., Lecturer, Professors, etc.). 	
		Optional use.
\item {\sl $\backslash$todayis\{\}:} 
	The date can be redefined with this command; 
	the default is today's date.
\item {\sl $\backslash$mydepart\{\}:} 
	Set the department's name (if other than the Department 
	of Informatics and Telecommunications).
\item {\sl $\backslash$myphone\{\}:}  
	The telephone number of the sender. Optional use.
\item {\sl $\backslash$myfax\{\}:} 
	The FAX number of the writer. Optional use.
\item {\sl $\backslash$mycountry\{\}:} If set to ``Greece'', 
	the country name will appear at the end of the address.
	Recommended for letters going outside of the country.
\item {\sl $\backslash$recipient\{\}:} 
	The name and the address if the recipient; if necessary,   
	lines must be separated with two $\backslash\backslash$.
\item {\sl $\backslash$myopening\{\}:} 
	This contains the opening statement of the letter.
\item {\sl $\backslash$myclosing\{\}:} 
	The closing (if other than ``Sincerely'').
\item {\sl $\backslash$myenclosures\{\}:} 
	Indication of whether there are enclosed documents. State the documents,
	if there are any.
\item {\sl $\backslash$myCCparties\{\}:} 
	Define the parties to whom the letter has been carbon copied. Optional 
	use.
\item {\sl $\backslash$mypostscript\{\}:} 
	Indicate any postscript for the letter; rarely used. 
\item {\sl $\backslash$mydoublespace:} Use this command in the body of the 
	letter should you want to spread out the text.
\end{enumerate}

Hope you find this style useful in your letter writing. 
If you want the file modified, feel free to e-mail me your suggestions.

\myclosing{Yours,}

\end{letter}
