感 谢 信
1.Introduction 概述
在日常生活和工作中,感谢信应用范围很广。当收到馈赠、邀请、赴宴、照顾、款待、慰问、吊唁、祝贺时,写信道谢乃人之常情。在商务活动中,对雇员的建议,客户的订货,供应商的优质服务,银行、商会或友邻的信息提供等等,均应写信致谢。感谢信能帮助加强联系、增进友谊、树立企业的良好形象。
感谢信应态度诚恳、热情洋溢,不能过于简短,以免使收信人造成敷衍了事、言不由衷的错觉。
感谢信通常包括如下内容:一是对对方的馈赠、帮助、关心和邀请等表示由衷的感谢,二是说明对方的馈赠、帮助、关心和邀请等所起的作用和对自己的意义,三是表示希望日后有机会定当答谢对方,并在结尾再次致谢。

A good example of memo
To:Dong Fang, Head Reference Librarian
From: Liu Jian, Reference Assistant
Subject: Implementing Open Shelves in the Reference
Section
Date:May 10, 2008
The purpose of this memo is to recommend a new shelving system for books in the reference section of our library.Following are(1)a background statement,(2)a discussion of the new system, and(3)recommendations.Background
Under the present system of closed shelves, students wishing to consult reference books must fill out a requisition slip, wait in line, give the requisition to a desk person, and wait some more time before receiving the desired book.This system is time-consuming, unwieldy, and ineffective.The result is that students do not like to use the reference facility of the library.New System
I propose that we switch to an open-shelf system at once.The transition can be made simply by eliminating the desk that forms the front of the reference section.The fear of theft that some people have voiced could be eliminated by using the magnetic detection system that is already in place.The benefit of open shelves would be a reduction in personnel and free access to a needed library resource.Recommendations
To implement the open-shelf system we should proceed with the following changes:
1.1.Eliminate the front reference desk.2.2.Maintain a central information desk.3.3.Reassign all but two librarians who presently work at the front reference desk.I am certain that these changes will do much to improve the service that this section of the library provides.
