\subject{What's it all about}
      
\opening{Dear Ms Smith,}

This document serves both as a demonstration and as documentation for
the \LaTeXe{} document class \texttt{aclbrief}. This document class is
to be used by anyone who is writing official letters as
representatives for the Association for Computational Linguistics.

This class \texttt{aclbrief} is an extension of the NTG class
\texttt{brief} made by Victor Eijkhout. You should consult
\texttt{briefdoc.tex} for additional information about the use of options
not described in the current text.

The class \texttt{aclbrief} provides a letterhead. Therefore you should
not use the \verb!\maakbriefhoofd{}{}! command of the \texttt{brief}
document class.

The following options
can be used to modify the lay-out:
\begin{description}
\item[\texttt{european}] Letter from the European Chapter of the ACL.
\item[\texttt{northamerican}] Letter from the North American Chapter of the ACL.
\item[\texttt{color}] Logo will be printed in red.
\item[language options] There are language options for Dutch, English,
German, and French. This option influences short captions such as date.
Dutch is the default.
\end{description}

Before the \verb!\begin{document}! command you should set you name and
address with the \verb!\myaddress{}! command.

Make sure to provide a date. Otherwise, \LaTeX{} will provide it for
you, and the date will change with the day the document is processed.

Don't forget to set numbers in \verb!\num{}!, like \num{1234567890}, or
you'll get table numbers like 1234567890, which are too large within
running text.
