英语信件格式并附各种信件原文

1、1. 书信结构英语书信结构一般有以下几个部分组成：1）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：Liu Yan-huiRoom 302, Nc. 4也Ro" WShanghai, 20040F. RstampPr"E Johxi Hill607 Nor th Willing on AveniiiWest Plm BacK F

2、l on da 33404U. S. A2）信头（heading），即写发信人的地址和日期（右上角）。3） 信内姓名地址（inside address），即写收信人的姓名和地址（左上角）。4） 称呼（salutation），即写对收信人的尊称（一般用Dear Mr. ，；Dear Madam Helen,; Dear Miss,;Dear John,; Dear ProfessorSmith,等）。称呼直接写在收信人地址的正下方，中间空一至二行。称呼后面的标点一般只能用逗号。以上信头、信内姓名和地址三部分的结构如下：Liu Tan-huaRgm 302,4也 Taiun OH)Shughai

4、; Yours truly,; Cordially yours,; Yours cordially,等。7) 信尾签名(signature)，即亲笔签上写信人自己的姓名。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。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)再启(Postscript)，以P.S.表示；(3)抄送件(Carbon Copy to)，以c.c.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。P.S.主要在私人信件中使用，事务

5、信件中应避免使用，以免造成写信人粗心大意的印象。Enc.和c.c.大都用在商贸信函中。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 Style)。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：(范文1。)Liu PingEwe 406lei jiiig Vhi ver si tyBaijiU 100871F
