TO: Pat Walker, Cecille Cabanne, Don Deonne, Gil Sweeney, and Kathy Pedroza

FROM: E.W. Lauderman, Store Manager Write initials after name

SUBJECT: STORE POLICY REGARDING OFF-PLANET DOLLS

In capitals or capitalize first letter of each main word in the subject line ADD TRIPLE SPACE OR A LINE AND DOUBLE SPACE

Because we anticipate heavy customer interest in the popular Off-Planet dolls, I would like you to share the following information and newly developed GemMart policy with all our employees.

I’ve just learned that a GemMart buyer recently appeared in a taped television interview that will appear nationally this week. Apparently our buyer said that the Off-Planet dolls would be available in some GemMart stores. Since we expect our stores to be swamped with telephone calls from customers asking specifically about this series of dolls, we have decided that all employees in all of our area stores should have the same policy information to help them answer questions consistently. Please not the following points:

  • GemMart currently has no Off-Planet dolls.

  • We do not know if we will receive any in the future.

  • We will neither issue raincheques nor take any orders for these dolls.

Please discuss this policy with your employees. I’ll be sure to let you know immediately if we receive a shipment of Off-Planet dolls.

● SUBJECT: BLOCK LETTER STYLE

2 lines

● This letter illustrates the block letter style, about which you asked. All typed lines begin at the left margin. The date is usually placed two inches from the top edge of the paper or two lines below the last line of the letterhead, whichever position is lower.


This letter also shows open punctuation. No colon follows the salutation, and no comma follows the complimentary close. Although this punctuation style is efficient, we find that most of our customers prefer to include punctuation after the salutation and the complimentary close.


If a subject line is included, it appears two lines below the salutation. The word SUBJECT is optional. Most readers will recognize a statement in this position as the subject without an identifying label. The complimentary close appears two lines below the end of the paragraph.
