Indented or Semi-Block Business Letter

This document discusses two common business letter formats: 1) Block format places the entire letter flush left with no indentation. It is a traditional and popular style. 2) Hanging-indented format indents all lines of a paragraph except the first. This draws attention to new topics but is rarely used for normal business letters. The document provides an example of a hanging-indented letter.

8th April 1988 Mr. John Mark, 152, Bunget Lodge, 23, Jalan Street, 87123 Singapore. Dear Mr. John Mark,

Hanging-Indented Style

This very useful style places the first words of each paragraph prominently on the page. It is useful for letters that deal with a variety of different topics. However, for normal business communications, this style is very rarely used. The first line of the paragraph begins at the left-hand margin. And the other lines of the same paragraph are indented three to four spaces. This is the reversal of semi-indented style discussed in other page.

Yours Sincerely, Rajan Carpets
