This letter illustrates the full-blocked or the extreme –blocked style . This style commonly uses the open punctuation is used after any part of the letter except the message. Open punctuation is frequently used with full-blocked style arrangements as both styles are time savers for the typist.
Each line starts at the left margin (including the date, complimentary close, and signature block) and is typed single spaced. The advantage of using this form is that the typist does not have to use the tabular key. Because this style is fastest to type, it is considered very modern.
The disadvantage of this style is that it gives the appearance of a lopsided letter.
Yours very truly

Dear Miss Entino:
This letter illustrates the hanging-indented style which, at a glance, looks like the paragraph Is inverted. The first line of each paragraph is flushed with the left margin and all succeeding lines are indented.
Note how the writer draws the reader’s eye to the beginning of each paragraph by placing the first word “hanging” in the margin thus making the letter very attractive. The paragraph indention may be five, seven, or even more just enough to make the key word stand cut clearly.
Yes, for sales promotion correspondence, the hanging-indented style is the most appropriate. This form necessitates careful planning as the whole point of this style is to feature Paragraph starts which have some common point of interest to produce special display.
Yours very
