OF A BUSINESS business letter are
LETTER full-block
modified-block
LETTER FORMAT semi-block

Refers to the way your

letter looks on the
page
 FULL-BLOCK
All text, including dates and
enclosures, is aligned to the
left margin. It typically
adheres to closed punctuation
rules, with a colon or comma
following the salutation.
However, in variations that
use open punctuation, the
salutation does not end with
punctuation.
MODIFIED-BLOCK
In this format, the main body of
the text is left-aligned, while the
sender’s address, date, and sign-
off are right-aligned. Notably, the
date and sign-off are positioned
closer to the center but still offset
to the right. Unlike the semi-block
format, paragraphs in the
modified block format are not
indented, and the spacing
between paragraphs mirrors that
of the full block structure.
 SEMI-BLOCK
The semi-block, also known as the
indented style, bears a
resemblance to the full block
format but carries a more
informal tone. In this format,
each paragraph begins with an
indentation of five character
spaces and is separated by a
double space, maintaining left-
justified text alignment. The date
and closing are typically aligned
in a manner similar to the full
block style.
