Dear Ms. Clauson
Block letters are formatted with all parts of the letter starting at the left margin. A business letter will
have a more formal tone and more parts than a personal letter. You should always make sure your
business letter is formal and complete with all important information included.
The block letter style is fast becoming the most popular style in use today. Efficiency is the main reason
for its popularity. The keyboard specialist can save time and eliminate the necessity of working out
placement. Some organizations are even designing letterheads to accommodate this style.
With all elements, or parts of the letter, starting at the left margin, there is no need to remember any
special formatting rules. A few years ago some people felt the block style looked odd. That complaint is
seldom heard today. Efficiency is a key element in today’s fast paced society causing many businesses
and individuals to adopt this style of letter as the format of choice.
Sincerely yours
