• Block format: This is the most common format. All text is left-aligned, with no indentations.
• Modified block format: This format is similar to block format, but the date and closing are centered.
• Semi-block format: This format is similar to modified block format, but each paragraph is indented.

No matter which format you choose, there are some essential elements that all business letters should include:

• Sender’s address: This should include your name, company name, street address, city, state, and zip code.
• Date: The date should be written in the format “Month Day, Year.”
• Recipient’s address: This should include the recipient’s name, company name, street address, city, state, and zip code.
• Salutation: The salutation is the greeting you use to address the recipient. It should be followed by a colon.
• Body: The body of the letter is where you will write your message. Be clear and concise, and use proper grammar and spelling.
• Closing: The closing is the farewell you use to end the letter. It is followed by a comma.
• Signature: Your signature should be handwritten, and it should be followed by your printed name and title.

Here is an example of a business letter in block format:

[Your name] [Your title] [Your company name] [Your street address] [Your city, state, zip code]

[Date]

[Recipient’s name] [Recipient’s title] [Recipient’s company name] [Recipient’s street address] [Recipient’s city, state, zip code]
