format that is slightly different from the full block
letter.

the signature line are put slightly to the right of the
paper's centre.

or slightly to the right of dead center.

address, salutation and any end notations flush with
the left margin.

aligned under the date.

12. 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.
 Other parts of a business letter are moved farther to
the right half of the page.

13. EXAMPLE

14. SIMPLIFIED STYLE
 This is another modification of the fully-blocked style.
This style is used when you write a letter and you do
not know the name and title of the person to whom
you are writing the letter.
 The salutation and the complimentary closing are
used in this style.
 The subject is mentioned din capital fonts and that
subject need not be underlined.

16. HANGING INDENTED STYLE
 This style is very rarely used. The first line of the
paragraph begins at the left-hand margin. And the
other lines of the same paragraph are indented three
to four spaces.
 This is the reversal of semi-indented style discussed in
other page.
