INQURY LETTER
Modified block format
Modified block differs from block style in that the date, sign off,
and signature lines begin at the centre point of the page line. The beginning
of each paragraph is indented five
spaces, along with the subject line, if used. Depending on the length of the
letter, paragraphs may be separated by a single or double line space. The
example:
123 Winner's Road
New Employee Town, PA
12345
March 16, 2001

Dear Mr. English:
The first paragraph of a typical business letter is used to state the main
point of the letter. Begin with a friendly opening; then quickly transition
into the purpose of your letter. Use a couple of sentences to explain the
purpose, but do not go in to detail until the next paragraph.
Beginning with the second paragraph, state the supporting details to
justify your purpose. These may take the form of background information,
statistics or first-hand accounts. A few short paragraphs within the body of
the letter should be enough to support your reasoning.
Finally, in the closing paragraph, briefly restate your purpose and why it
is important. If the purpose of your letter is employment related, consider
ending your letter with your contact information. However, if the purpose is
informational, think about closing with gratitude for the reader's time.
Sincerely,

Indented Style
Indented style is somewhat more complicated than other
popular styles of business writing. In indented style, new paragraphs in a
piece of writing are indented that is, they begin about 1.5 centimeters to the
right of the left margin. Other parts of a business letter are moved farther to
the right half of the page. Indented style is one of the older formats for
business writing currently in use, though other formats are becoming more
popular. Indented style is a format that many of today’s business people were
trained to use. The Example:
123 Winner's Road
New Employee Town, PA
12345

Hanging Style
A hanging style is when a paragraph is indented so that the
first line hangs over the rest. Normally you would see a first line indent.
This is when the first line is moved to the right and the rest of the paragraph
starts at the margin. The most common place hanging indents are used is on a
bibliography reference page. When typing you can change the indentation by
either formatting the paragraph or changing the page margins. The Example:
123 Winner's Road
New Employee Town, PA 12345
