Explanation:

  • In the full (complete) block style every part of the letter begins at the left margin: sender's address, date, inside address, subject line, salutation, paragraphs, complimentary close, signature block and enclosure line. Nothing is indented or centred.
  • Paragraphs are not indented; they are separated by one blank line, as are all the other parts.
  • It is normally used with open punctuation – no commas or full stops after the address lines, date, salutation and complimentary close.
  • It is the most widely used business format because it is quick to type, looks neat and modern, and is easy to read.
