Block Format Business Letter

We received a comment from Alicia asking:

What is the correct format for a block business letter that contains; a company sending a letter, date, recipient information, subject, initials of person who wrote the letter, enclosure, and cc:?

Everything in a full block letter should be flush with the left margin, with the exception of a company letter head, if one is used. Full block style letters are considered more formal than most other styles. The proper order of items, spacing, and signing are typically the areas where most people run into difficulties.
