Semi-block letters are a style of formatting for written correspondence. In semi-block format, the beginning of each paragraph is indented, except for the date and closing, which are usually aligned to the center. This format is similar to full block style but with a slight indent at the beginning of each paragraph.
A semi-block letter is less formal than a block letter.
semi block
A semi-letter refers to a semi-formal letter. The correspondence is written on letter-head paper with a return address, block style, and formal salutation.

The main formats for letter writing are block format, modified block format, and semi-block format. In block format, all text is left-aligned with single spacing except for double spacing between paragraphs. Modified block format is similar but has the date and closing aligned to the right. Semi-block format is a less common variant where the paragraphs are indented instead of being left-aligned.
Not a full block.
