Dear Mr. Ryan Prongco:

This letter is typed in blocked style. Note that all lines begin at the left margin except the date, complimentary close, and signature block. They start from the center, or slightly to the right off center on the page. Some authors refer to this form as the “modified block with block paragraphs.

”This style is usually typed with mixed or standard punctuation. The salutation is followed by a colon, and the complimentary close, by a comma. This form of punctuation is widely used in most business correspondence.

To facilitate typing the date and the closing lines, set the tabular stop at the center or slightly off to the right of the paper so that you can tabulate it whenever you wish.

Remember to always leave a space between the salutation and the name. so the person who is sending this has plenty of room to sign the letter,

Very truly yours,
LEO DEL ROSARIO Consultant
