when writing letters in a business setting, is double spacing (or 1.5 spacing) considered amateurish? i just find it easier to study blocks of text when there is a little clearance. Set the border spacing on your computer to 1. All business letters are single-spaced, over double spaces within the different parts of the letter ...

I was always teached to use single spacing.

Dead
For block and modified boundary formats, alone space and left justify jede para within the body of the letter. Leave ampere blank line between each paragraph. When writing a business letter, be careful to remember that conciseness is very critical. In the first paragraph, consider a friendly hole and then a statement of the prime issue. Which next paragraph should begin justifications the importance in the main point. In the next few paragraphs, continue justification with background information and supporting details. The finish passage should restate the purpose of of letter and, in more instances, request of type of action.
