1. Full Block Style

 A full block style format for a letter means all


the text is left justified, this varies from a
semi-modified block style format in which
some elements are right justified, full block
format is a formal style that is common for
business letters
2. Block Style
 Block style is a letter (usually business letter)
format where all typed content is aligned with the
left margin and no indentation.

 A block letter typically contains specific


components. These include the sender's name,
address, phone, the recipient's name and address,
the current date, a reference statement (usually
beginning with "Re:"), the subject, and the main
body.

 A block letter could be used as a template letter,


one that is used for all correspondence of a
specific nature or type.
3. Semi-Block Style
 A semi-block style letter is a less formal
version of a block or a full-block letter .The
semi-block style is also called modified
semi-block because it is a modified version
of the block or full block style.
 The block and full block styles display a

uniformity with the margin alignment, which


gives a business letter a more formal
appearance. Depending on the purpose and
content of the letter, a semi-block format
may be more desirable for less formal
business correspondence
4. Intended Style
 Indented style is somewhat more complicated
than other popular styles of business writing.
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.
5. Simplyfied Format Style
 The simplified style business letter is a
variation of the full-block and semi-block
letter formats. Business professionals take
you more seriously when you format your
written communications using one of these
formats.

 A personal letter format is acceptable for


writing to a friend, but using this format
when you are sending a communication to
another business owner can make you look
unprofessional
6. Hanging Style Format
 This style useful for letters that deal with a
variety of different topics. However, for
normal business communications, this style
is very rarely used.
