Business Letter :
Business letters are formal letters used for business-to-business, business-to-client, or client-tobusiness correspondence. There are a number of elements to a business letter.

Kinds of business letter : Block Format

o

The block format is perhaps the simplest business letter format. All of the information is flush on the left side and all the margins are one inch. First, provide the return address, skip a line, provide the date, skip a line and provide the full name, title, company name and address of the recipient. Before the salutation, skip a line, and also skip a line between the salutation and subject line or body. The salutation should be followed by a colon, not a comma. There should be no indentations at the beginning of paragraphs; skip lines between paragraphs. Finish with the closing, typically "Sincerely" followed by a comma. There should be four lines between the closing to allow for a signature, then the typed name and title of the person who wrote or sent the letter.

Indented Format
o

The indented business format is a bit different than the block format. The return address is typed at the right side of the page, with the date directly underneath it. Skip a line between the return address and date. Type the salutation on the left, followed by a colon. Skip a line between each paragraph, and indent the first line of each paragraph with a one-half inch indent. The closing and signature lines are also typed at the right center of the page; they should be even with the return address and date above. There should be four lines between the closing and typed signature to allow room for a hand-signed name. The indentations of the first line of each paragraph is the only diffrence between the semi-block and the modified block formats

Modified Block Format

o

The modified block format is another widely utilized business letter format. This format is very similar to the indented format. The only difference is that the first line of each paragraph does not have a one-half inch indent; they are left-justified instead. The return address, date, closing and signature are at the center point, while the recipient's address and salutation on left-justified. There is still one line

Semi-block formate :
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 semiblock is indented five spaces. The complimentary close and signature block are aligned under the date. This page illustrates the spacing and layout of semi-block format. Both full block and semiblock formats generally contain all of the necessary parts of a letter.
