Personal Letters . . .  whether typed or handwritten, may include personal touches that reflect your style or personality.                                                                                         December 4, 2007 Dear Maxwell, I just wanted to take a moment to write to you to express my thanks for the extra tutoring help you gave me this fall as I struggled in my Math 1112 course.  People like you make our world a better place simply because you take the extra time to help others overcome fears and learn important skills. I think I can safely say, you are going to make a great math teacher one day! You stand head and shoulders above others in the field of math and I so appreciate the information, time and patience you provided to me.  So, once again, thank you so much for everything, and especially for encouraging me!  Best wishes, Rita  Person Salutation  (Greeting) Date Complimentary Closing Signature Special  stationery

Sample Complaint Letter mm/dd/yyyy To Betty Grimes,  I am writing to inform you that your daughter, Sarah, broke the front passenger window of my Ford Taurus while playing softball yesterday afternoon. The car is brand new. Hopefully, your homeowner's insurance will cover this kind of damage. Please check with them to see if it is covered. If they will not pay for it, I will get two repair estimates for you so that you can determine how you will pay for the repair.   Perhaps we could meet this Saturday afternoon to discuss our options. You can reach me at (202) 555-1098. Thank you for your timely attention to this matter.  Thank you,  Rita Green  Rita Green 124 Huckabee Littletown, AL 34567

Company Logo or Letterhead March 15, 2007  Mr. John Smith, Director of Operations SomeGroup Group 100 SomeStreet Drive Sometown, Alabama 34567 Dear Mr. Smith:       Thank you for your inquiry about Semi-Block format for letters. What follows is a quick summary of the format and the conventions it uses.       Semi-block format or style is frequently called modified semi-block because it is a slightly less formal modification of full block format. This letter style places the date line in alignment with, or slightly to the right of dead center. Another option for placing the date line in semi-block is flush right. Similar to full block, semi-block places the inside address, salutation and any end notations flush with the left margin. However, unlike full block, each body paragraph of semi-block is indented five spaces. The complimentary close and signature block are aligned under the date.        This page illustrates the spacing and layout of semi-block format. Both full block and semi-block formats generally contain all of the necessary parts of a letter.  Sincerely yours ,  Dr. Sheila Carter-Todd 3.  Semi-block Style Letter Format SAMPLE Indent paragraphs 5 spaces.  Everything else is flush at the left margin.

Sample Complaint Letter mm/dd/yyyy To Betty Grimes, I am writing to inform you that your daughter, Sarah, broke the front passenger window of my Ford Taurus while playing softball yesterday afternoon. The car is brand new. Hopefully, your homeowner's insurance will cover this kind of damage. Please check with them to see if it is covered. If they will not pay for it, I will get two repair estimates for you so that you can determine how you will pay for the repair.  Perhaps we could meet this Saturday afternoon to discuss our options. You can reach me at (202) 555-1098. Thank you for your timely attention to this matter. Thank you, Rita Green Rita Green 124 Huckabee Littletown, AL 34567

Company Logo or Letterhead March 15, 2007 Mr. John Smith, Director of Operations SomeGroup Group 100 SomeStreet Drive Sometown, Alabama 34567 Dear Mr. Smith:       Thank you for your inquiry about Semi-Block format for letters. What follows is a quick summary of the format and the conventions it uses.       Semi-block format or style is frequently called modified semi-block because it is a slightly less formal modification of full block format. This letter style places the date line in alignment with, or slightly to the right of dead center. Another option for placing the date line in semi-block is flush right. Similar to full block, semi-block places the inside address, salutation and any end notations flush with the left margin. However, unlike full block, each body paragraph of semi-block is indented five spaces. The complimentary close and signature block are aligned under the date.       This page illustrates the spacing and layout of semi-block format. Both full block and semi-block formats generally contain all of the necessary parts of a letter. Sincerely yours , Dr. Sheila Carter-Todd 3. Semi-block Style Letter Format SAMPLE Indent paragraphs 5 spaces. Everything else is flush at the left margin.
