Detailed explanation-1: -In block format, the entire text is left aligned and single spaced. The exception to the single spacing is a double space between paragraphs (instead of indents for paragraphs). An example block style letter is shown below and can be linked to in our eBook, The AMA Handbook of Business Writing, page 455.

Detailed explanation-2: -Paragraphs are indented in letters arranged in block format. It is never appropriate for a letter writer to precede his or her name with a personal title such as Ms. or Mr. The letter body (message) should begin a QS below the greeting.

Detailed explanation-3: -The most common layout of a business letter is known as block format. Using this format, the entire letter is left justified and single spaced except for a double space between paragraphs.

Detailed explanation-4: -In a full block business letter, every component of the letter (heading, address, salutation, body, salutation, signature, identification, enclosures) is aligned to the left. Also, first sentences of paragraphs are not indented.

Detailed explanation-5: -The semi-block format is NOT frequently used for a business letter. This format is similar to the modified block style except that each paragraph is indented instead of left justified.
