modified block style, semi block style, and indented style. Here is the definition about them.

The full block style has a straight arrangement from top to bottom. So, the letter looks
like a block where the writing from the neck of the letter, body, to the foot of the letter
looks aligned right and left and there are no incoming or outgoing paragraphs.

have the appropriate structure or arrangement.

destination address, opening greeting, attachment and copy are placed on the left margin, the
beginning of the paragraph starts from the left margin. However, to write this block style, it lies
in placing the date, closing remarks, name of the signer and position of the signer on the right
side of the letter.

Meanwhile, for the indented style letter, the difference is that the destination address is
written jaggedly. This model means that the first line of the letter form has an indented
style starting from the left margin. Then for the youngest row it indents five steps. Then
for the next line, enter another five beats and so on.

In this form, there are distinctive characteristics, namely the place and date characters,
name, position and closing are typed on the right. Meanwhile, in the contents of the
letter, at each new paragraph, the typing takes five strokes. This indented style is only
suitable for letters with short addresses. So, not all letters can use this letter form,

address. instead it is in the complimentary close and salutation.
