Etiquette is a set of rules that can only be observed, not enforced. Because of this, it's one of the easiest ways to be fancy. I'll share some of the rules I try to observe, just to spread the fanciness.
"Esquire" is reserved for lawyers. When corresponding with a lawyer, you can use either the Mr. or Ms./Mrs. salutation or esquire, never both. For example, Ms. Gloria Allred or Gloria Allred, esq. are both correct. Ms. Gloria Allred, esq. is incorrect. If you're addressing a lawyer and his or her spouse, drop the esquire and only use the traditional Mr. and Mrs.
