Dear Mr. Fleming:

     This is an example of an indented or semi-block-style business letter, which many companies use. The semi-block style gives business letters a more balanced appearance. 

     As you can see, the paragraphs are indented: usually five spaces from the left of the margin. However, the dateline and the complimentary closing are typed slightly to the right of the page center.

     If you have any additional questions about the layout of the semi-block-style business letter,
do not hesitate to call me as soon as possible.

Sincerely, 

William Klass 

Sales Director
