(一)商务便函
一般公司企业往往都印有按照自己公司风格的商业便函,请看下列例子:
Memo
To:
(收信人)
From:
(发信人)
Date:
(日期)
Subject:
(事由)
Message:
(正文)
大企业往往拥有许多分支机构,其商务便函信笺就包含较多的内容,如:
Memo
To:
(收信人)
Company:
(分公司)
Dept:
(部门)
Location&Ext:
(地址与分机号)
Subject:
From:
Company:
Dept
Location&Ext:
Date:
Message:
商务便函一般由以下几个部分组成:
1、Memo:
Memo是Memorandum缩写,因此也可以用Memorandum,此外还有InternalMemorandum和InterofficeMemorandum,其意思都是一样的。
2、To:
这一标题后面应写收信人的姓名与职衔,姓名前可以用尊称或不用,如:
To:
Mr.JohnSmith,SalesManager
3、From:
这一标题后应写发信人的姓名与职衔:
职衔可根据需要决定写或不写,但姓名前不要用尊称。
4、Date:
日期的写法同书信里日期写法的要求完全一样,不要用数字来表示月份。
5、Subject:
这一标题后是写事由的,即用一个或几个词汇简单概括便函的内容,以便查阅。
事由必须简洁明了,不要用完整的句子,如:
ChangesinTravelAdvanceForm
PromotionofStaff
VacationSchedule
ParticipationinTrainingProgrammes
6、Message
商务便函还可以根据实际需要在末尾增加发信人的姓名首字母、附件、副本抄送等。
