Dear Mary:

This is an example of the Block Format for letter writing. As you’ll notice,

every thing is aligned to the left margin except for the date and closing lines

which begin at about the middle of the page. The paragraphs are not

indented.

You can see the spacing of the letter as well. With four lines between the

date and address, two spaces between the address and salutation and also

between the salutation and body of the letter. There are two spaces

between each paragraph as well. Two spaces are between the body and the

closing line. Four spaces are between the closing line and signature line.

In each paragraph, the first sentence shares the main point. The rest of the

paragraph expands on the main point. Attempt to keep each paragraph to

three or four sentences. It is best if the letter is short enough to fit onto one

page.

Sincerely,

Tamyra Horst

Women’s Ministries Director
