What is the standard structure of a formal business letter?
A business letter typically includes the sender's address, date, recipient's address, a greeting, the body, a closing, and a signature. The body opens with the purpose, develops the details, and ends with a clear next step, keeping the tone professional and the message concise.
What is the difference between block and modified block letter formats?
In block format every line is left-aligned with no indentation, while modified block places the date, closing, and signature toward the right and may indent paragraphs. Both are accepted; block looks cleaner and simpler, whereas modified block has a more traditional appearance.
How should you open and close a formal business letter?
Open with a professional salutation such as Dear followed by the recipient's name and title, then state your purpose early. Close with a courteous sign-off like Sincerely, leave space for a signature, and type your name and title beneath for clarity.
