各类英文书信 篇1

Dear Xiaowei,

It’s been weeks since we last talked. I miss you very much.

Being far awayfromhome, I am always thinking about you and our parents. I wanted to go home earlier last month, but later I didn’t because of the bad weather.

Last week, I called home when mum talked about you with me. Obviously she worried about you very much because you didn’t follow her advice. I know the reasons, but I don’t understand why you were so stubborn at that time. You could simply pretendto obey her, but not make her worried all the time. You should have known that she is so vulnerable and she is so weak. In fact, I always worry about mum’s health and avoid making her worried.

Recently, I am thinking about the coming future of our family. Next year, I am going to Beijing for graduate study in the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. There are no tuitions there and I won’t have to pay for the residency.

Yours

Li Hua

英文书信格式及 篇2

英文书信一般由以下六部分组成:信头、信内地址、称呼、正文、结尾、签名。

5.1.1 信头(Heading)

信头是指发信人的地址和日期,通常写在第一页的右上角。行首可以齐头写,也可以逐行缩进写。地址的书写顺序由小到大:门牌号、街道、城市、省(州)、邮编、国名,最后写发信日期。私人信件一般只写寄信日期即可。例如:

123 Tianhe Road

Tianhe District

Guangzhou 510620

Guangdong Province

P. R. C.

Jan. 8,

5.1.2 信内地址(Inside Address)

信内地址要写收信人的姓名和地址。在公务信件中要写明这一项,在私人信件中,这一项常常省略。该项写在写信日期下一行的左上角,格式与寄信人地址一样。

5.1.3 称呼(Salutation)

称呼是对收信人的称谓,应与左边线对齐,写在收信人姓名、地址下面1-2行处。在称呼后,英国人常用逗号,美国人则常用冒号。在私人信件中可直呼收信人的名字,但公务信件中一定要写收信人的姓。大部分信件在称呼前加“Dear”。如:

Dear Professor/Prof. Bergen:

Dear Dr. Johnson,

对不相识的人可按性别称呼:

Dear Sir: 或Dear Madam: Dear Ladies。

如果不知收信人的性别则可用Dear Sir or Madam:

5.1.4 正文(Body of Letter)

正文是书信的主体。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。

5.1.5 结尾礼词(Complimentary Close)

公务信件的结尾礼词包含两部分:发信人的结尾套语与署名。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。在公务信件中,发信人常用的结尾套语有:

Yours truly, Yours sincerely, Respectfully yours, Cordially yours, Yours cordially等。

私人信件中,发信人常用的结尾套语有:

Sincerely yours, Lovely yours, Your lovely, Your loving son/daughter等。

5.1.6 签名(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。

英文书信格式 篇3

英文书信的格式 英文书信是一种最常用的应用文体,对于普通的私人信件通常由五部分组成;

1、信头(Heading) 指发信人的姓名(单位名称)、地址和日期,一般写在信纸的右上角。一般公函或商业信函的信纸上都印有单位或公司的`名称、地址、电话号码等,因此就只需在信头下面的右边写上写信日期就可以了。 英文地址的写法与中文完全不同,地址的名称按从小到大的顺序:第一行写门牌号码和街名;第二行写县、市、省、州、邮编、国名;然后再写日期。标点符号一般在每一行的末尾都不用,但在每一行的之间,该用的还要用,例如在写日期的时候。

2、日期的写法:如:7月30日,英文为:July 30,(最为普遍); July 30th,1997; 30th July,1997等。1997不可写成97。

3、信内地址(Inside Address):在一般的社交信中,信内收信人的地址通常省略,但是在公务信函中不能。将收信人的姓名、地址等写在信头日期下方的左角上,要求与对信头的要求一样,不必再写日期。

4、称呼(Salutation):是写信人对收信人的称呼用语。位置在信内地址下方一、二行的地方,从该行的顶格写起,在称呼后面一般用逗号

(英国式),也可以用冒号(美国式)。

(1)写给亲人、亲戚和关系密切的朋友时,用Dear或My dear再加上表示亲属关系的称呼或直称其名(这里指名字,不是姓氏)。

(2)写给收信人的信,也可用头衔、职位、职称、学位等再加姓氏或姓氏和名字。

5、正文(Body of the Letter):位置在下面称呼语隔一行,是信的核心部分。因此要求正文层次分明、简单易懂。和中文信不同的是,正文中一般不用Hello!(你好!)

正文有缩进式和齐头式两种。每段书信第一行的第一个字母稍微向右缩进些,通常以五个字母为宜,每段第二行从左面顶格写起,这就是缩进式。

6、结束语(Complimentary Close):在正文下面的一、二行处,从信纸的中间偏右处开始。

7、签名(Signature):低于结束语一至二行,从信纸中间偏右的地方开始。

英文书信(一)

Dear Sir:

I noticed an ad. In the paper today you said you were looking for people to join your expedition team. It sounded as if it might be fun so I'm writing to say I'd like to come along.

About myself: I left school at 16 because I wanted to earn a bit of money. After that I got a few part-time jobs as a waiter, etc. But I didn't stick to any of them for long. Recently I've been doing a bit of hitch-hiking round Europe so I've had some experience of traveling the hard way which should come in handy on the expedition you're planning. By the way, I'm a great guitarist so I can keep you all amused round the campfire at night.

Let me know when I can call in for a chat about dates and other details, etc.

Yours,

David Smith

我很高兴告诉你我现在已经成为一名高中生了。

第一眼看到我的学校时,我发现它是如此的美丽以至于用我所有的语言都无法描述它。学校有许多树,明亮的教室,和一个很大的操场。另外,我还遇见了许多新朋友,他们都对我很友好。还有,我今天上了在高中的第一堂英语课。我的老师不仅知识渊博而且还有一点有趣,这让我非常兴奋。

在这一天的最后,我感觉有一点儿累却十分高兴,因为我遇见了这么多有趣的同学。

最好的祝愿!

英文书信 篇5

英文书信的构成可分为8个部分:

信头(Heading), 日期(Date), 收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address), 称呼(Salutation), 信文(Body of the letter), 结束语(Complimentary close), 署名(Signature), 附言(P. S.)

信头(Heading)

信头是指发信人的单位名称或地址。一般情况下发信人只需把自己的地址写(打字,手写均可)在信的右上角,离开信纸的顶头约1英寸,占二三行或四行均可,格式如下:①齐头式 ②缩进式

注意:写地址的次序与中文不同,应先写门牌号码街道,然后城市和国名。写地址时采用齐头或缩进式,以及每行后要不要加标点符号,都没有固定的`规定。如写给经常往来的亲友,这项地址也可以省略。

日期(Date):

写日期注意下列各点:①年份应写全,例如不能用“99”来代替“”;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7/4/99 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1,2,3,4 11,12 21,22 31等,也可用lst,2nd,3rd,4th 11th,21th 22nd 31st等。

日期的几种写法:a.July 7, b.1st October, 1998 c.30 Nov., d.Sep. 3rd, 1999

④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,这是很多学生的常见错误。

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。

①对普通男子用Mr;②对未婚女子用Miss;③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);

④对男子用Master;⑤对教授或博士(医生)用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。在称呼后面一般是用逗号,但也有用冒号的。现归纳如下:①对父母、兄弟、姐妹等;a.Father, b.My dear Mother, c. Dear Sister, d. Dear Tom,

②对亲戚:a.My dear Auntie, b.Dear Cousin, c.My dear Cousin,

③对朋友、同学a.My dear friend, b.Dear Mr Jackson, c.My dear Mr Jackson, d.Dear Sir,

⑥对已婚女子:a.Dear Mrs Helen Jackson, b.My dear Mrs Helen Jackson,

⑦对公司、工厂、学校等:a.Dear Sirs, b.Sirs, c.Gentlemen,

下面是署名的例子:

附言(Postscript)

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. (Postscript的缩写),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P.S.。

英文书信格式 篇7

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,英文书信的地址应从小写到大,先写门牌号码,再写街道、城镇、省或州及邮政编码,最后是国家名称。国家名称的每一个字母都要大写。

2)信头 (heading)

公司信纸上方居中一般都印有其名称、地址和联系号码,这就是通常所说的信头。在没有信头的普通信纸上写信,作者就需要写明回邮地址和联系号码。

3)封内日期(Date Line)

封内日期是写信或打字时的日期。封内日期写在信头或作者地址的下两行。

4)封内地址(Inside Address)

封内地址是收信人的'地址,包括姓名,职务(如适用),公司名称(如适用),街道名称或信箱号,城市,州或省,邮政编码和国家。封内地址通常写在左手边,在日期线和称呼之间。

5)称呼(Salutation)

称呼是一封信开头对收信人的称呼,写在封内地址或提示句下两三行。称呼后可以写冒号或逗号。在商业信函或其他正式书信中,用冒号。

在非正式书信中,称呼后用逗号。(注意:尽量避免使用“To Whom It May Concern” 或“Dear Sir or Madam”,因为这种称呼已经过时,并且不很友好。改进方法是争取确定收信人的姓名,或使用“Dear Human Resources Manager”,“Dear Friends”这样的称呼。在给律师或外交领事写信时,可以使用“Esquire”或“Esq.”这样的头衔,但它们不应出现在称呼中。同样,如果收信人的姓名后面有“Jr.”或“Sr.”,如“George Bush,Jr.”也不能把它们包含在称呼中。)

6)头衔(Titles)

除非写信人与收信人熟到可以直呼其名,通常要在收信人名字前加上“Mr.”,“Professor”等表示礼貌的头衔。

7)提示句(选择性)Attention Line(optional)

提示句的用途是指明把信送给某个具体的人或部门处理,尽管信是写给这个组织的。另外,在指明的收信人不在时,它也允许组织中其他人查看信的内容。提示句通常写在封内地址的下两行或封内地址的上面。

8)主题句(选择性)Subject Line(optional)

主题句简要说明信的内容。通常写在封内地址和称呼之间。如果写信人不知道收信人的姓名,也可以用主题句代替称呼。为了收到最佳效果,可以给主题句加下划线,或大写主题句。

9)正文(Body of the Letter)

正文的格式多种多样。商业信函最好使用齐头式。而私人信件通常不用齐头式。在齐头式书信中,全部内容包括日期和信尾问候语,都从左侧顶格开始。段落开头不空格,各段之间空两行。

修正齐头式,是使用最为广泛的一种格式,商业和私人信件都可以使用,尽管在私人信件中不一定要写回邮地址和封内地址。使用没有印刷信头的普通信纸时,这种格式最合适。与齐头式不同,发信人地址、日期,信尾问候语和签名都从中间开始写。其余部分从左边开始。

10)写信人签名(Writer's Identification/ Signature)

写信人的签名、名字和头衔(如果适用),写在信尾问候语同侧三四行以下的位置。应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。

11)附注(Notions)

附注写在写信人签名下两行的位置,附注包括参考缩写,附件的数目和内容以及将收到这封信副本的人员名单。附注写在左侧。

12)信尾问候语(Complimentary Closing)

信尾问候语是写在信尾的告别话语,例如Sincerely,; Sincerely yours,; Yours sincerely,; Friendly yours,; Truly yours,; Yours truly,; Cordially yours,; Yours cordially,通常位于正文两三行以下。第一个单词的第一个字母要大写,最后以逗号结尾。

July 20, 20xx

Dear Zhao Tao,

I’ve been in Beijing for several days. I miss you very much. Does everything go well at home? Now let me tell you something about Beijing.

Beijing, our capital, is a very beautiful city. There are too many people, cars and big buildings in Beijing. There are all kinds of shops. They sell all kinds of things. There are lots of places of great interest. Now it’s the best time to visit Beijing. Too many travellers have come here.

Yesterday my father and I visited the Great Wall. How great! I was very excited when I saw the Great Wall. We took lots of photos. I saw lots of foreigners, they’re very interesting. We enjoyed ourselves very much there.

Zhao Tao, have you finished your lessons? I’m going home soon.

Please tell my mother not to worry about us.

Yours,

Li Hai
