According to the Gregg Reference Manual, use a top margin
of about two inches for the first page of a business document
if using plain stationery. If you wish to fit more copy on the
first page and avoid using a second page, then use the default
margin of one inch. If there's a letterhead on the first page,
leave a minimum of one-half inch between the letterhead and
the first item to be typed. If using a second page, use plain
paper and leave a one-inch top margin.
