Agreed with Tim that writing it all in one shot works and might be preferred. But if writing single lines then:
set pilotName to "Cap'n Bly"
set taxYear to 2009
set city to "Redmond"
set perdiemItem to "Nuts"
set amountForItem to 123.94
set PerDiemFile to (path to desktop folder as string) & "PerDiem.txt"
try
close access file PerDiemFile
end try
set WorkingFile to open for access file PerDiemFile with write permission
set eof of WorkingFile to 0 -- Overwrites existing file to start from scratch
write pilotName & "'s Pilot Per Diem Logbook " & taxYear & return & return to WorkingFile
write (city as string) & return to WorkingFile
write (perdiemItem as string) & return to WorkingFile
write (amountForItem as string) & return to WorkingFile
close access file PerDiemFile
