body style in ext file

Hello,

my external style file looks like below. How can I link class 'lettertimes'
to the 'body' in this style sheet. As I have done below doesn't work.

Thanks

Frank

<style>
<!--
..lettertimes {font-family: times new roman; font-size: 1em;}
..lettertimesb {font-family: times new roman; font-size: 1em;
font-weight=bold;}
..lettertimes15 {font-family: times new roman; font-size: 1.5em;}
body {
background-image: url(backg.gif);
lettertimes;
}

-->
</style>

Oh, I just replied to the identical message (but with a different
subject line) that you posted in alt.html.

Where did you want the reply to go?

Multiposting is never a good idea. If you can't pick a single
newsgroup to post to then crosspost to a few and set the Followup-To
header to a single one of those. This keeps the thread together in one
place and really does increase the chances of getting a good answer at
the end of it all.
