第一篇：英文书信的格式
英文书信的格式
英文书信的格式
英文书信的垂直式和齐头式。
商业英文书信，一般都要求用打字机或电脑整齐地打印，左边各行开头垂直的，称为垂直式或齐头式（block style），美国常用这种格式；每段的第一个词缩进去，称为缩进式或锯齿式（indented style），英国常用此格式。垂直式的职务及签名都在左边的边栏界线，这种格式，在极度尊重工作效率的美国公司，已普遍采用。正式的商业英语书信要在称呼的上方写上收信公司名称和地址或收信人的名字全称、职务及地址，称为信内地址（inside address）。信内地址的写法也有垂直式和缩进式之
分，垂直式和称美国式将各行并列，缩进式或称英国式将各行依次退缩。
普通书信的写法。
近来英国商业书信信内地址并未依次缩进，似乎与美国式相同。此外，在美国还流行一种普通收信人地址的写法，就是在书信的inside address中，把门牌号和街名都省略掉。在英文书信中要使用敬语，最普遍的敬语是mr，mrs和miss（用于未婚女性）。英国人常在男性的姓名之后用esq.（esquire的缩写），不过在商业上也在慢慢地改用mr.mmes.（madam的复数形式），用于二个女士以上。messrs（mr的复数形式）用于二个以上的男人，或用于二个以上的男人组成的公司或团体。在英国式英文信里，mr, mrs, messrs，均不加缩写句点，相反地趋向于进步自由的美语反而加缩写句点如mr., mrs., messrs.。在称呼方面，商业上最普遍的有gentlemen（美国式）与dear sirs（英国式）二种，相当于我国的“敬启者”或“谨启者”。
典型的美国式书写法。
给公司单位写信时美语用gentlemen（复数形式），英语用dear sirs。如果对方公司只一人时，必须使用sir/dear sir。称呼后一般要使用标点符号，英国式采用逗号（comma），美国式用分号（colon）。书信结尾客套语（complimentary close）有多种，相当于我国书信在结尾时使用的“敬礼”、“致敬”、“顺安”等句。最为典型的美国式写法是sincerely和best regards，典型的英国式表达有yours sincerely（熟人或知道对方姓名），best wishes, kind regards 和yours
faithfully（不知姓名）。此外，英国式的客套语还有特别礼貌的格式，但除了特殊情况外，现在不再使用。
（一）英语书信结构、书写款式及要求：
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：
2）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 professor smith,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：
注：如果是相当熟悉和随便的朋友
之间，因为彼此都知道对方的地址，故信头和信内的地址常常省略。

本人于1998年毕业于××大学水利系，后受聘××研究所，担任助理。2001年进入××省水利学会，从事研究工作。毕业后8年来，我先后发表了两本有关水利枢纽的专著和四篇论述水利工程学和其他题目的文章。我一向觉得，我过去在许多情况下单凭个人的努力是难于克服研究工作中的某些困难，我经常要请其他人帮助和支援。为了向前辈学习，取得他们的指导、合作和配合，跟上水利方面日新月异的飞跃发展形势，我希望能加入贵会，成为会员。
盼您回信寄来有关事项的规定和入会申请表。此事烦您费心，不胜感激之至。
