letter style

Definition and Difference  of :

è Full block style : A full block style business letter is all justified against the left margin, including the your return address (if not using letterhead), the reference line, and your closing, signature, and printed name. 
A modified block style business letter is justified against the left margin with the exception of including the your return address, the reference line, and your closing, signature, and printed name. These are tabbed about one third to the right of the page. 

è Semi block style : The semi-block letter is a more traditional letter format than the full-block or block. The identifying features of the semi-block style letter is the left justification of the inside address (3) and salutation(4) and the indentation (five to ten spaces) of the first line of each paragraph (5). The dateline (2) is placed to the right or to harmonize with the letterhead. . The complimentary close (6) and the signature line (8) are typed to the right of the horizontal center of the page. 

è Intendent style :  Indented style is somewhat more complicated than other popular styles of business writing. In indented style, new paragraphs in a piece of writing are indented that is, they begin about 1.5 centimeters to the right of the left margin. Other parts of a business letter are moved farther to the right half of the page. Indented style is one of the older formats for business writing currently in use, though other formats are becoming more popular. Indented style is a format that many of today’s business people were trained to use.

     Columbus, OH 43217        

     Dear Ms. Desi Ruth:       

     I received a collection notice from the Ohio Telephone Company

     on December 13, 2017.  The letter states that I owe a past due

     balance from the September 16 to October 16 billing period in

     1993.The letter also states that my service will be

     disconnected unless I act immediately; however, I am now

     informing you for the second time that I paid that bill on

     January 1st, 2017.

 |   On January 15th, I received a call from one of your

     representatives about this matter, and I immediately told him

     that approximately two weeks ago I sent a check to your office

     for the due amount of $132.57.  Unfortunately, I failed to get

     his name.  I am irritated that you have not taken care of this

     matter since I have the canceled check in my possession, and

     I am enclosing a copy of it herewith. 

     I hope that this will settle the matter once and for all. 

                         

     Sincerely yours,
