Letter Styles

These are the 6 Letter styles you should know.
  1.  Full blocked letter style
  • In a full block business letter, every component of the letter (heading, address, salutation, body, salutation, signature, identification, enclosures) is aligned to the left. Also, first sentences of paragraphs are not indented.

     2. Semi-blocked letter style
  • Semi-block is similar to block but has a more informal appearance. All elements are left-aligned, except for the beginning of each paragraph, which is indented five spaces. Paragraphs are separated by a double line space.
      3. Blocked letter style
  • In block format, the entire text is left aligned and single spaced. The exception to the single spacing is a double space between paragraphs (instead of indents for paragraphs).
     4. Simplified letter style

  • This style is widely used when the writer of the letters does not want to give importance to formality. Since the formality is not adopted here, this style goes to the heart of the addressee. This style give more importance only to the core matter of the letter. 

    

 5. Hanging letter style
  • This very useful style places the first words of each paragraph prominently on the page. It is useful for letters that deal with a variety of different topics. However, for normal business communications, this style is very rarely used.
     6. Indented letter 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—that is, they begin about 1.5 centimeters to the right of the left margin. Other parts of a business letter are moved farther to the right half of the page.

History vs Literature

The difference between history and literature The key difference: History promises to tell the truth. Literature includes fiction, which by definition is not the truth. for example: Kurt Vonnegut's Mother Night  Kurt Vonnegut wrote  Mother   Night  based on a real person: an American who lived in Berlin before and during World War II and who did broadcast Nazi propaganda on the radio. Vonnegut believed that this man was really an American spy, and he wrote his novel to demonstrate the point. But ... this is the key point ... Vonnegut may have been right or wrong on this matter. His novel does not promise us to be the truth and nothing else. Fiction has no place in history. But history can have a place in literature, both fact and fiction. Main Difference – History vs Literature History Literature History and literature are two important sub-disciplines of Humanities and Social Sciences. In simple terms, the  difference betwee...
