1、英语书信写作指导英语书信写作指导-、书信写作要求书信(Letter)一般可分为事务信件或公函(Business Letter or Offical Correspondence)以及私人信件(Private Letter)两大类。一般包括以下几个要点：1收信人的姓名和地址；2寄信人的姓名及其与收信人的关系；3寄信人的地址有时可以省略；4写信的时间；5信的内容。1.书信的格式 1信头(Heading)；2称呼(Salutation)；3正文(Body of the letter)；4完毕语(plimentary close)；5签名_(signature)。2.书信的种类 1邀请信邀请信有正式和

2、非正式之分，也有介于两者之间者。正式邀请信一般属于公函类，私人邀请信一般属于非正式文体。邀请朋友、熟人参加某一聚会时，再词句上不一定多加斟酌，用词太正规倒显得关系不亲密。但是假如与被邀请人不太熟悉的话，最好用正式文体。如虽认识但并不非常理解，文体可介于两个者之间。由此可见，私人邀请终究用什么文体，关键看与被邀请人之间的亲疏的程度。邀请信要明确写出活动是晚会、晚餐还是一般的聚会等、活动的时间地点组织这项活动的理由，有时还应告诉对方可能出席的人，另外一般希望对方给予答复。1非正式邀请信，如；26 Coventry St.LondonSept.15th, 1999.Dear Jack,I am go
