Indented style
The indented style is a traditional British
practice with the letterhead usually in the middle
and the date line on the right-hand side. The
complimentary close may be in the center or
commence at the center point. The indented
style takes 4 or 5 letters in the first line of each
paragraph in the body of the business letter.
