BUSINESS LETTER STYLES
Seven letter styles have been established for use in business offices..
1. Full block-All lines of typing begin on the left hand margin. There are no paragraph indentions. Letters that are typed in the full block style are always single spaced
EXAMPLE:

2. MODIFIED BLOCK STYLE In this style the date line , the complimentary close and the signature are aligned with the right margin. All other parts except the letter head, printed matters starts from the left division. Between the parts and paragraphs of the body of the letter double spacing is given whereas there is a single spacing within each part and paragraph

EXAMPLE:

3. Semi block- This is like the block style except the paragraph of the letters are indented and complementary close are placed at the right margin

EXAMPLE:

4. INDENTED STYLE Oldest form of business letters. This require first line to begin at the margin and the subsequent line to begin five spaces away from the beginning of the previous line. A comma follows each line and a full stop is put after the last line.

5. Hanging Indented (Inverted)-The hanging indented style is identical the semi block format except that the first line of each paragraph is typed flush with the left margin and all lines following are indented five spaces. This style is usually seen only in advertising letter, where it’s unique paragraphing catches the eye.

The text portion of the memo is generally in block format. Memos should include "From", "To", "Date", "Subject" and the message itself, like this:
