To write an invitation letter for a visa, include full names and addresses, relevant financial details, information about the visit and your relationship to the applicant in addition to general business letter requirements.

Write the full name and address of the consulate to which you are writing. This should be below your heading and aligned left.
Write the word "Subject" followed by a colon. After that, write the purpose of the letter, which is that it is an invitation for a visit to the United States.
Below the subject line, write the greeting. If you know the name of the consul, include this. Otherwise, write the generic, "Dear Sir or Madam."
The first paragraph of the invitation letter should include your date of birth, occupation and residency status. It also helps to include your annual salary.
Still in the first paragraph, include the purpose of the visit, as well as the length of the applicant's stay. Also write where the applicant is staying, whether in your home or a hotel.
In the second paragraph, write your relationship to the applicant and if you are bearing any financial responsibilities for the trip. Also include the applicant's ties to the home country, such as a job, business or family.
State directly that you want the consulate to grant a visitor's visa in a final paragraph. Finish by thanking the consular and signing off.
