Dear Mr. Moore:

This is semi-block letter format.

It too begins with the sender’s address, the date, the receiver’s name and address, and then the opening salutation. The difference between full-block and semi block is easy:

• In full-block format, nothing is indented.
• In semi-block format, the sender’s address, date and closing salutation are indented.
• In semi-block format, it is also permissible to indent the paragraphs, but it is not necessary to do so.
