Explain About Letter Style
- Full block style: It is the popular and easiest style of formatting business letter. In a full block format letter, all text or part is aligned or starting from the left margin. Paragraphs are not indented. Therefore, no time is lost in typing adjustment.
- Indented style: It is the oldest style of writing business letters. In an indented format letter, the first word of every paragraph is written leaving some (two or four) spaces from the left margin. Other parts are arranged- date is right margin, inside address left margin, subject is in the middle of two margins and complement close in the right margin, etc.
- Semi-block style: In a Semi-block format letter, all text is aligned to the left margin, paragraphs are indented. It is the combination of indented and block letter format. In this form inside address and complementary closing are written in block style (left margin) while the body of the letter is written in the indented style. Paragraphs are indented three to five spaces.
Explain The Different
- Indented Style: Basically, writing in indented style means indenting new paragraphs in a piece of writing, and, in a business letter, beginning the return address, date, complimentary close, and signature slightly to the right of the center of the page. Consistency, as usual, is the most important thing to consider when using indented style. It doesn’t really matter how large your indents are—they can be Àve or six spaces or deeper—as long as each indent for each new paragraph is the same. It is the same for the elements of a business letter—where they are exactly is less important than keeping all of the elements on the same vertical line down the page.
- Full Block Style: Full block format is considered the most formal of the three styles. In full block format or style, every line is left justified. The dateline is placed two to six line spaces below the last line of the heading or letterhead. The inside address placement varies depending upon the length of the letter. A common spacing is four line spaces below the date line. The salutation is placed two lines below the attention line (if an attention line is provided). The first line of the body is placed two lines below an attention line or two to four lines below the last inside address line. When using full block, paragraphs are single spaced, with a double space between paragraphs.
- Semi-block Style: Semi-block format or style is frequently called modified semi-block because it is a slightly less formal modification of full block format. This letter style places the date line in alignment with, or slightly to the right of dead center. Another option for placing the date line in semi-block is flush right. Similar to full block, semi-block places the inside address, salutation and any end notations flush with the left margin. However, unlike full block, each body paragraph of semi-block is indented five spaces. The complimentary close and signature block are aligned under the date.

Dear Ms. Yuni
In our telephone
conversation yesterday, we discussed plans to graduation at your conference

As we discussed, we need

break-out room, we need four tables, and a monitor. I need two hundred snacks to
share with the graduates and 50 box lunches.
I also appreciate
receiving the projected fee for the sole meeting. Can you send me your cost projection
