1、P. R. C.Jan. 8, 2010日期（Date）: 1 年份应写全，例如不能用“99”来代替“1999”；2 月份应写英文名称，除May, July外，可用缩写，如：Sep., Oct.。但不要用数字来代替，如7499 或7， 4， 99，因为在英国此日期代表 7th April，1999，而美国则代表4th July，1999。3 日期可用1，2，3，411，1221，2231等，也可用lst，2nd，3rd，4th11th，21th22nd31st等。日期的几种写法：aJuly 7，1998 b1st October, 1998 c30 Nov., 1997 dSep. 3rd,

2、1999特别注意英文书信日期应紧接着写信人地址下一行，不能像写中文书信那样写在书信签名之后。收信人姓名及地址（Inside Name and Address）写信人的地址和日期写好以后，接着就要写收信人的姓名和地址，一般的事务信件或给较生疏的朋友的信件要写，而在给极熟的朋友的信中则可省去。这一项写在日期下一行的左上角。收信人姓名写一行，收信人地址可分两行或三行写，和写信人的地址一样，上下可取齐，也可以向右缩进。在姓名前一般要加上称号，称号因人而异。对普通男子用Mr；对未婚女子用Miss；对已婚女子用Mrs，对婚姻状况不明确的通常用Ms（后跟本人姓）；对男子用Master；对教授或博士（医生）用

3、Prof或Dr称呼（Salutation）称呼指的是信文开头的那种称呼，如Dear , Mr, Uncle，各种称呼因人而异。称呼直接写在收信人地址的正下方，中间空一至二行。在称呼后面一般是用逗号，但也有用冒号的。现归纳如下：对父母、兄弟、姐妹等；aFather, bMy dear Mother, c. Dear Sister, d. Dear Tom,对亲戚：aMy dear Auntie, bDear Cousin, cMy dear Cousin,对朋友、同学aMy dear friend, bDear Mr Jackson, cMy dear Mr Jackson, dDear Sir

4、,对未婚女子：aDear Miss Luce, bMy dear Miss Luce,对一般女子，不论是否结婚：aMadame, bDear Madame,对已婚女子：aDear Mrs Helen Jackson, bMy dear Mrs Helen Jackson,对公司、工厂、学校等：aDear Sirs, bSirs, cGentlemen,如果不知收信人的性别: Dear Sir or Madam信文（Body of the letter）信文是信件的主体部分，也就是信的内容。正文应在称呼下两行开始。信的开头第一个字母通常和称呼开头第一个词平齐。也有往后退四个或八个字母的。正文是书

5、信的主体。与中文信件不同的是，英文书信的正文的开头不是先写一些问候语，再阐明写信的目的，而是直接说明写信人的身份及写信的目的，然后提出写信人的情况、想法或要求，并加以必要的解释或说明。英文书信陈述目的时，应该直截了当，意思明确，层次清楚，言简意赅。书信正文的第一句话或第一段，通常被称为起首语。一般说来，人们习惯用一些客套的写法作为书信正文的起始，即先将对方来信的日期、主题加以简单描述，以便使对方一看便知该信是回答哪一封信的。如果是第一次给别人写信，也可用开头语作必要的自我介绍，并表明自己写信的主要目的。下面介绍一些开头语和结尾语。开头语 相当于中文的“敬君者”。aI beg to inform

6、 you thatbI beg to take this opportunity to inform you that cI have the honor to address you thatd I write in a hurry to inform you thateI have the pleasure to tell you thatf. Im very much delighted to inform you that相当于中文的“接读某月某日来信，一切知悉”。aI thank you very much for your letter of May 20th bYour lett

7、er of May 20th has been received with thanks.cIt gives me great pleasure to receive your kind of May 20th.dIn answer to your kind letter of May 20th, I deeply regret that eI have received your kind letter of May 20th.fWords cant express my delight on finding your favor of yesterday on my desk this m

8、orning.gYour letter dated May 20th has been received.结尾语采用三种方法：采用分词短语：句末用逗号，不用句号。例如：aWaiting for your good news,bLooking forward to your early reply,cHoping to hear from you soon,dHoping you are enjoying good health,eRegretting that I cant give you a more favorite reply,fRegretting the trouble Im ca

9、using you,gWishing you every success,hWishing you a pleasant journey,iWishing you a happy New Year,采用介词短语，例如：aWith best regards,bWith kind regards to your family,cWith best wishes to you and yours,dWith best wishes for your success and happiness,eWith best wishes for your success in your new field o

10、f work,fWith best regards and wishing you all success,gWith warmest regards,hWith best regards to you and your family,iWith the seasons greetings,采用完整句子：aWe are waiting for your good news.bI hope to receive your early reply.cWe look forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.dI thank you ver

11、y much for your services, and wish your continued success.结束语（Complimentary Close）结尾套语写在签名上面一行，第一个字母要大写，套语结尾后面要加逗号。结束语的一般写法如下： 业务书信常用：Yours faithfully, Faithfully yours, Yours truly, Truly yours, Sincerely yours, 公函常用：Yours respectfully, Respectfully yours, Yours sincerely,私人书信常用：Sincerely yours, Yo

12、urs very sincerely, Yours affectionately, Yours ever,给亲戚朋友的信常用：Love, All my love, Your（ever）loving son/daughter/cousin , etc.Your affectionate nephew, lovingly, Lovingly yours,署名（Signature）写信人的签名常位于结尾礼词正下方一二行。除非是给很熟悉的人写信，签名一般须写出全名。签名常常较潦草，不易辨认，因此在签名的正下方须打印出全名。如果是用打字机或电脑写的信，在写信人签名的上方，同样应该打上写信人的姓名。下面是

13、署名的例子： 个人署名：truly, W. J. Watson ,Yours faithfully,公司署名：Legend Computer Company, Wang Lin ,Sales Manager除以上七个部分外，有时一些英语书信还包括：（1）附件 （Enclosure），以Enc. 表示，如“附有。证明”应写为EncCertificate；（2）附言（Postscript），以. 表示；发信人有时在写完信后又想起一件比较重要的事没有说，可以在信末署名下面几行写上， P. S.，然后将要补充的话写上。不过要注意写信时最好将事情一次讲清楚，尽量少用或不用.。（3）抄送件（Carbon

14、Copy to），以. 表示，说明一式多份抄送其他有关人员。这些都是次要的补充部分。. 主要在私人信件中使用，事务信件中应避免使用，以免造成写信人粗心大意的印象。Enc.和. 大都用在商贸信函中。信封（envelope）。英语的信封和中文的一样，有三部分组成，即发信人地址、收信人地址和邮票。只不过英语信封的格式除了邮票所贴的位置（信封的右上角）和中文的一样外，英语信封上要写的发信人和收信人的地址和中文的大不一样。发信人的地址应写在信封的左上角，收信人的地址应写在信封偏中右偏下处，如下：2书写款式英语书信的款式一般有两种：齐头式 （Block Style） 和折衷式 （Semi-Block St

15、yle）。齐头式常常在商贸、官方以及一些正式的信件中使用，以显示信件内容的严肃性，真实性，可靠性。而折衷式则显的比较随便，主要用于家人、朋友、私人之间来往的信件。如果两人之间不是第一次通信，相互比较了解，可以省略信内的双方地址。以下分别介绍齐头式和折衷式信件两种款式。A: 齐头式信件款式：注：用齐头式信件写信，其正文与称呼之间空一至二行。每段的第一句句子不需要空格，但段与段之间需要空一至二行。齐头式信件的信尾客套话和签名可以有两种款式。第一种写在左下方，这是最常用也是最正式的。另外也可以写在右下方，这种形式则表示写信人与收信人之间的关系比较熟悉随便。下面是另一种齐头式信件的格式。齐头式信件款式

16、：B: 折衷式信件款式：用折衷式书写信件，其正文与称呼之间空一至二行。第一段第一句的第一个单词必须在Dear称呼的直接下面。以后每段开头都要与第一段第一个字对齐。信尾的客套话和签名都写在右下方。朋友之间写信一般都使用折衷式，而且称呼与正文之间一般不空行。具体款式和要求参见后面的一些信件。以下是一封折衷式信件。3.书信写作常用套句It is so great to hear from you again.It is a great pleasure for me to With great delight I learned that I must apologize for not writi

17、ng to you sooner.建议：In my experience, it seems that _ would make sense in your situationIn my opinion, it would be wise for you to take the following actions:感谢：I truly appreciate your kindness.Thank you from the bottom of my heart for.道歉：I apologize most sincerely for.I am so sorry to have put you

18、through so much trouble.邀请：We would be honored to have you there with us.I will cover all the expense involved.抱怨：I very much regret to have to inform you that.We will appreciate your willingness to make up for the lossI hope that the above situation will be improved as soon as possible咨询：I would li

You should write at least 120 words according to the suggestion given below in Chinese:1. 表示欢迎2. 提出对度假安排的建议3. 提醒应注意的事项A Let

21、ter to a SchoolmateJune 23, 2001Dear Xiao Wang,_.Yours, Zhang Ying从上面的例子可见，书信作文不仅给出正文部分的内容的提纲，而且还给出书信各部分的结构的框架。也就是说，我们只要考虑如何表达提纲部分的内容，而不用考虑书信的结构。在写书信作文时，首先要把书信正文的提纲内容细化，扩展成更细的英文提纲，然后用简洁、明了、礼貌、正确和得体的语言表达出细化了的提纲内容。例如前面的那封信就可以列出下面的提纲：Topic: A Letter to a SchoolmateQuestion: What are the holiday arrange

22、ments and points for attention?Outline:I. Extending my welcomeII. Holiday schedule1. 1st day campus2. 2nd day the art gallery & music hall3. 3rd day mountain climbing4. next 3 days other places of interest （Swan Cave, Golden Lake ）5. Last day - departureIII.

27、nt）。投诉信的目的是为了让收信人读信后同情你的遭遇,解决你所遇到的问题。所以写投诉信时应该实事求是地反映情况，注意措辞，不使用过多的讽刺或责备的语言，也不要因为发泄怒气而离题，以避免引起收信人的不信任或反感。一般而言，投诉信包括以下内容：提出要求和理由；解释详细的情况；把请求具体化以及希望收信人采取行动的日期等。September 1, 2001Dear Sir or Madam:Im writing to complain about a typewriter I bought seven months ago.In February of 2001 I bought a Jones Ty
