第一篇：经典英文抱怨和索赔信函（定稿）
经典英文抱怨和索赔信函范文
抱怨和索赔信函（Complaints & Claims）的目的是为了获取更好的服务，对已出现的问题求得尽快的、妥善的解决。它通常是买方由于对收到的货物不满而书写，如：货物未按时到达；货物虽抵达，但与订单所载不同；货物有损毁现象；货物数量短缺或多余；货物质量与样品不符；服务不合理以及收费过高等，这些均是抱怨、索赔的正当理由。
书写抱怨、索赔信函时，不妨开门见山出原先双方同意的条件，然后列举事实以表示有何不满，以及为什么不满，最后提出解决的方法。内容应明确、清楚、有理，语气要简洁、坚决。避免使用愤怒和使对方过于难堪的措辞（除非你所抱怨的问题反复发生，且多次投诉而毫无结
果）。
1）For Delay in Shipment（由于发货延迟而抱怨）
Dear Sirs，The furniture we ordered from you should have reached us a week ago.Needless to say, the delay in delivery has put us to great inconvenience.It is therefore imperative that you dispatch them immediately.Otherwise we shall be obliged to cancel the order
and obtain the goods elsewhere.Please look into the matter as one of urgency and let us have your reply as early
as possible.Yours faithfully, John Thomas
亲爱的先生们：我方从贵方订购的家具应于一星期前收到。不用说，发货的延迟给我方带来了很大的不便。因此，贵方必须立即发货，否则我们将被迫取消订单，到另处订货。
请紧急处理此事，并尽快告知结果。
2）For Poor-Packing（由于包装不妥提出索赔）
Dear Sirs，We are writing to inform you that the toys covered by our order No.519arrived in such an unsatisfactory condition that we have to lodge a claim against you.It was found upon examination that 10%of them are broken and some are badly scratched, obviously due to the improper packing.Therefore, we cannot offer it for sale at the normal price and suggest that you make us an allowance of 20% on the invoiced cost.This is the amount
by which we propose to reduce our selling price.If you cannot accept, I’m afraid we shall have to return them for replacement.Sincerely yours, John Thomas
亲爱的先生们：我们写信通知贵方，519号订单玩具已收到，但货物状况很不令人满意，故我们不得不提出索赔。经检查，我们发现有10%的货物破损，而且一些也有严重磨损现象。很明显，这是由于包装不妥造成的。因此，我们无法以原价售出货物。建议贵方依照发票金额给予20%的折扣，这是我们所建议降低的售价额度。如果贵方无法接受，我们将不得不退货，要求替换。
3）For Damage of Goods（由于货物损坏而抱怨）
Dear Sirs，Our order No.JT-8 The glassware you supplied to our order of 3rd July was delivered by the shipping company this morning.The 160 cartons containing the goods appeared to be in perfect condition.But when I unpacked them with great care, I regret to report that 10 cartons of glassware badly cracked.We trust you can understand that we expect the compensation for our dam aged goods.Yours faithfully, John Thomas
亲爱的先生们：订单JT-8号我方于7月3日从贵处订购的玻璃器皿已于今早货运公司送到。装有货物的160个纸箱完好无损。但当我们小心打开检查时，发现有10箱玻璃器皿严重破损。相信贵处能理解我方要求对损坏货物进行赔偿。
4）For Incomformity（由于货物不符而抱怨）
Dear Sirs，On March 12, we ordered 1,200 shirts size 42.But unfortunately, we received completely different articles-children clothes today.We can only presume that a mistake was made and the children clothes were for another order.As I have several customers waiting, please arrange for the replacements at once.Faithfully yours, John Thomas
亲爱的先生们：三月十二日我订购了一千二百件四十二号男式衬衣。但不幸的是，今天我
们收到了完全不同的货物——儿童服装。我们想贵方一定搞错了，儿童服装是另一份订单。由于有几位客户在等货，故请贵方立即安排更换货物。
5）For Unacceptable Substitute（由于无法接受替代物而抱怨）
Dear Mr.Cliff，During the past three months I have placed two sizable orders for The Handy Desk Companion by Roy.specifying the hard back binding.But both time you sent me paper-back binding because you were out of stock on the hard-back.Fortunately, I am still selling a few of the paper backs, but more and more customers ask for the hard-back ones.（At least two of our competitors have this reference book
in hard-back in our cities）.Enclosed is my order for 75 copies of The Handy Desk Companion in hard-back.Please do not, under any circumstances, send me anything else.I have plenty of the paper-back
in stock..Very sincerely yours，John Thomas
亲爱的克里夫先生：在过去的三个月中，我两次向贵方订购了相当数量的由罗伊所著的《便利的办公伙伴》一书，指定需要精装本。但贵方由于精装本缺货，两次寄给我的都是平装本。
值得庆幸的是，我仍卖出一些平装本，但越来越多的顾客索要精装本。（本对少有两家竞
争者出售此书的精装本）。
随信寄上订单，购买75本《便利的办公伙伴》精装本。请无论如何，不要寄给我其它替代
物。我现已大量平装本的库存。
6）For Shortweight（由于短重而要求索赔）
Dear Sirs，We have just received the Survey Report from Shanghai Commodity Inspection Bureau evidencing that all drums of apple juice weigh short by form 1 to 5 kilogram, totaling 300 kilogram.As the drums were intact, it is obvious that apple juice was short weight before shipment.Under such circumstances, we have to file a claim against you to the

settlement at an early date.Yours faithfully.John Thomas

英文商务信函格式
您的商务信函写作能力直接影响到买家对您公司的评估。您给他的每一份信函、邮件或者传真，都代表着您公司的形象，显示您公司的水平和实力，同时，相信您也一定是用这种方式来评估和了解您的买家。所以，商务信函写作决定了您能否以专业的方式跟买家进行有效的沟通，在您的业务往来中占据着举足轻重的地位。
商务信函写作前言
作为一家外贸出口企业，您必须经常跟您的国外客商打交道。因而，各种商务信函的写作成了您工作中的一个重要部分。您是否有这样的感受，花费了大量的时间和精力，对自己所写的信件是否专业、是否符合通常的规范却没有十足的把握。在本手册里，我们将为您介绍商务信函写作的基本知识和技巧，相信对您的工作具有很高的参考价值。
商务信函的重要性
也许你会问“商务信函真的这么重要吗”？
是的，答案是肯定的。
让我们一起来看看以下的调查结果。
当买家和供应商从互相并不了解的基础上开始进行业务联系时，买家通常是怎样来评估跟他联系的供应商的呢？
[参考全美最畅销的贸易书籍“Building an Import-Export Business”] 以下5个方面是买家最关心的：
供应商如何回复买家的邮件？
供应商网上的简介和/或目录是否做得专业？
当买家询问信息时，供应商是否完整答复所有问题？
供应商的信头是否写明了公司地址和传真号码？
供应商如何答复买家提出的要求？
供应商多久做出答复？
供应商是否愿意对产品进行修改？
买家询问多个问题时，供应商是否答复所有的问题？
供应商的信用如何？
供应商的银行信用记录如何？
供应商银行帐户开立的年数？
大致的通常收支情况？
银行给供应商的贷款额度？
银行对供应商的帐户情况是否满意？
供应商贸易往来的信用如何？
合作者与该供应商的合作年数？ 供应商可承受多大的定单？
交货是否及时？
是否能准确地完成定单？
供应商是否使用了标准质量管理认证体系？
比如ISO 9000、ISO 14,000(环境)、Hazard Analysis at Critical Points(适用于出口美国的海产品)
由此可见，您的商务信函写作能力直接影响到买家对您公司的评估。您给他的每一份信函、邮件或者传真，都代表着您公司的形象，显示您公司的水平和实力，同时，相信您也一定是用这种方式来评估和了解您的买家。所以，商务信函写作决定了您能否以专业的方式跟买家进行有效的沟通，在您的业务往来中占据着举足轻重的地位。
商务信函的基本结构
传统信件
这里我们介绍一种商务信函中最通用的格式－齐头式。主要特征就是每行均从左边顶格写，常常采用开放式的标点方式，即除了信文部分，其它部分在必要时才使用标点。信中各段落之间均空一行。
1、信头 The heading
信头就是指书信中发信人的地址和发信的日期等。
通常情况下，公司都会专门印制带有信头的信笺纸，包括发信人的姓名，地址，电话，传真等。当我们撰写传统信件时，直接使用这种信笺纸就可以。
2、编号（写信人的名字缩写）和日期 The sender name and the date
这部分内容是为了方便今后查询信件用的。
3、封内地址 The inside address
这里就是指收信人的姓名和地址，一般写在信笺的左上方。收信人名称地址的格式和信头的格式相同，但必须把收信人的姓名一并写出。另外，如果不是完全公事化的书信往来，或者已经从公事的关系渐渐发展成为带有私人性质的友好信件往来，由于称呼这一栏的内容已经说明了收信人的身份，所以可以不必填写封内地址。
4、事由 The subject heading
事由也就是我们通常说的主题，可以直接写明信件的重点，让人不必读完全信才了解到信的内容。所以事由要写得简明扼要。
5、称呼 The salutation
指对收信人的一种称呼。
较常使用的有Dear Sirs, Dear Madam, Dear Mr.XX,。称呼后面的标点，一般使用逗号。称呼里的第一个字母要大写。
6、开头语 The open sentences
开头语没有统一的格式，但习惯上先用客套的语句把收到对方来信的日期，主题及简单内容加以综合叙述，使对方一目了然这是答复哪一封去信的。如果是第一次通信，也可以利用开头语作必要的自我介绍，并表明目的要求。开头语一般与正文分开，自成一节，要求简单明了。
7、正文 The body of the letter
信的主体。一封信件的优劣，完全要看正文写的好或坏。我们会在后面继续讨论写作商务信函的一些技巧、规则。
8、结尾语 The complimentary close
结尾语一般用来总结文本所谈的事项，提示对收信人的要求，如“希望来信来函定货”，“答复询问”等，另外也附加一些略带客套的语气。正文结束后，另起一段写结尾语。
9、结束语 The complimentary close
结束语是结束信函时的一种客套，应该与前面的称呼相呼应。例如：“Sincerely,” “Best Regards, ”or “Yours Truly,”.结束语写在结尾语下隔一行，只有第一个字母大写，后面加逗号。
10、签名 The signatrue
写在结束语的下面，签上写信人的名字。如果是传统的信件，写信人最好亲笔签上您的名字，因为用印章的话，说明该信件并非本人亲自过目，只是通函而已，不为人重视。签名的下面，最好写上发信人的职位。
11、附件 Enclosure
如果信中有附件，应在左下角注明Encl.或Enc.。
例如：
Encls: 2 Invoices Enc.: 1 B/Lading |||
电子邮件
众所周知，电子邮件即E-mail是如今我们做电子商务使用最普遍的一种联系手段。电子邮件使用方便，信息传递迅速高效，且非常节省成本。但是E-mail的撰写也并不是一件很容易的事情。您知道，当一封E-mail发送出去后，只要收信人在线，他可以几分钟内就收到。所以，在您发送前，必须要检查一下您所写的内容是否正确合适，因为一旦您点击了发送键后，您就再也无法将其收回了。
通常我们理解E-mail的撰写风格可以比传统的信件，传真等稍加随便一点。但是我们在这里还是要建议大家，即便是写E-mail，由于是谈论公事，所以还是采用正式严肃的风格。尤其当您是第一次跟收信人联系的话，正式的商务信函能让您留给对方非常专业的印象。
1、收信人的邮箱
2、发信人的邮箱
3、写信日期
写日期时，请注意以下几点：
a.年份要写完整，不能用03代替2003。b.月份要写英文名称，不能用数字来代替，如31/3/03 不能在正式的信件中出现。但是可以用英文缩写，比如用Aug.代替August。
4、时间
5、主题
6、称呼
7、正文
8、结束语
9、签名
10、联系方法
这部分内容要完整,包括写信人姓名、职位、公司名称以及联系方法（地址、电话、传真、邮箱、网址）。写地址时请注意：一般来说，门牌号和街道名称之间不用逗号点开，但城市名称和国家名称之间一定要用逗号。您可以在自己的邮箱系统中事先做好一个模板。每次写信只要选择这个模板，信件会自动显示这些内容。
商务信函写作的要点
写作商务信函并不要求您使用华丽优美的词句。所有您需要做的就是，用简单朴实的语言，准确的表达自己的意思，让对方可以非常清楚的了解您想说什么。围绕这一点，我们总结了几方面的内容，希望对您写作商务信函有借鉴作用。
1、口语化 每一封信函的往来，都是您跟收信人彼此之间的一次交流。人都是感性的，所以您需要在您的信函里体现感性的一面。然而很多人都有一种误解，以为写作商务信函就应该用一种特殊的“生意腔”，于是把一封本来应该是热情而友好的信函写得呆板而死气沉沉。他们宁愿写“Your letter has been received”，“Your complaint is being looked into”而不是“I have received your letter”或者“We are looking into your complaint”。其实我们简单的来理解一下，每次信函的往来不就是跟对方进行了一次交谈吗？只不过是把交谈的内容写到了纸上而已。多用一些简单明了的语句，用我/我们做主语，这样才能让我们的信函读起来热情，友好，就象两个朋友之间的谈话那样简单，自然，人性化。
想象一下，如果您由于无法准时交货而在电话上跟您的合作伙伴表示歉意时，您会怎么说？我想您会说“I am sorry we cannot deliver the goods today”。既然在电话中您会这样说，为什么在信件中要改成“It is regretted that goods cannot be delivered today”？放弃这种所谓的“生意腔”吧，让您的信也象谈话那样简单，自然，人性化。
2、语气语调
由于您写的信函都是有其目的性的，所以您信函里所采用的语气语调也应该符合您的目的。在写之前先不妨仔细考虑一下，您写这封信函是想达到一个什么样的目的，您希望对收信人产生一种怎样的影响呢？是歉意的，劝说性的，还是坚决的，要求性的。这完全可以通过信函中的语气语调来表现。
3、真诚 不管是生活中的交往还是生意上的合作，真诚是最重要也是最基础的，所以您的信函也必须能够充分体现您的真诚。不管说什么，都要带着您的诚意去说。把写好的信函拿起来读一遍，确保如果此时对方正在电话中与您通话，他一定能够感受到您的自然和真诚。
4、直接
跟您一样，您的合作伙伴们每天都要阅读大量信函文件。所以，信函一定要写得简明扼要，短小精悍，切中要点。如果是不符合主题或者对信函的目的不能产生利益的内容，请毫不留情的舍弃它们。因为这些内容不仅不能使交流通畅，反而会混淆视听，非但不能让读者感兴趣，反而会让他们恼火，产生反感。
5、礼貌
我们这里所说的礼貌，并不是简单用一些礼貌用语比如your kind inquiry, your esteemed order等就可以的。而是要体现一种为他人考虑，多体谅对方心情和处境的态度。如果本着这样的态度去跟别人交流，那么就算您这次拒绝了对方的要求，也不会因此失去这个朋友，不会影响今后合作的机会。
特别要注意，当双方观点不能统一时，我们首先要理解并尊重对方的观点。如果对方的建议不合理或者对您的指责不公平时，请表现一下您的高姿态，您可以据理力争，说明您的观点，但注意要讲究礼节礼貌，避免用冒犯性的语言。
还要提醒一点，中国人有句话叫做“过犹不及”。任何事情，一旦过了头，效果反而不好。礼貌过了头，可能会变成阿谀奉承，真诚过了头，也会变成天真幼稚。所以最关键的还是要把握好“度”，才能达到预期的效果。
6、简洁
就象前面提到的，要用简洁朴实的语言来写信函，让您的信函读起来简单，清楚，容易理解。用常见的单词，避免生僻或者拼写复杂的单词。一个单词可以表达，就不要用词组。多用短句，因为短句更容易理解。少用“and”，“but”，“however”，“consequently”这些让句子变得冗长的连词。在同一封信函里，不要使用多个相同含义的单词。比如，您前面写了“goods have been sent”，那后面再提到这件事时就不要再用其他单词如“forward”“dispatch”等。因为这样写会误导您的读者无谓地去考虑这些词之间是否另有含义。
8、精确
当涉及到数据或者具体的信息时，比如时间，地点，价格，货号等等，尽可能做到精确。这样会使交流的内容更加清楚，更有助于加快事务的进程。
9、针对性
请在邮件中写上对方公司的名称，或者在信头直接称呼收件人的名字。这样会让对方知道这封邮件是专门给他的，而不是那种群发的通函，从而表示对此的重视。当然，如果您无法确定收信人的名字，那就在称呼一栏里写“Dear Sirs” or “Dear Sir or Madam”。
10、语言朴实
前面我们说过，商务信函不需要用华丽的词句。根据西方的语言习惯，他们更愿意使用简练而朴实的语言。所以当我们跟西方人进行商务沟通时，也要尽量避免华丽复杂的词句。比如“We look forward to a bright and glorious future of cooperation”，就不如直接写成“We hope to have the opportunity to work together with you in the future.”，这样才更加符合西方人的语言习惯。
11、回复迅速及时
给买家的回复，千万要迅速及时。因为买家通常只看最先收到的几封回复，从中去选择合适的供应商。如果您的回复不够及时，就可能因为抢不到先机而失去商机。
12、标题
这一点是特别针对写电子邮件的。也许很多人都没有意识到，事实上，E-mail的标题是很重要的一个部分，您的邮件给对方的第一个印象就是通过标题来完成的。如果标题没有内容，看起来象群发的垃圾邮件的话，很多买家就会直接删除。比如这样的标题“How are you?”，“Can we work together?”，建议您改成“Proposal: Bright Ideas Imports--Zhejiang Textile's Partnership Opportunity”或者“Introduction: Our Product Offerings for Bright Ideas Imports.”这样您的邮件会显得更加专业。
13、校对
写完之后，一定要检查。最基本是要确保拼写和语法正确，然后检查一下您所提供的事实，数据等是否有错。我们都会犯错，但即使在您的信函里有一个极小的失误，也可能会破坏您在沟通方面的可信度，并使人对您表达的其他信息投下怀疑的阴影。
最后，通篇读一下您的信函，对照前面提到的所有规则，您的信函都符合要求了吗？
商务信函案例分析
很显然，这封邮件有很多缺点，首先语句呆板，严重的“生意腔”使邮件毫无生气。句子长而乱，含义模糊。没有提供足够的资料来支持自己的论点。更糟糕的是，措辞冒昧，极不礼貌。针对这些不足，我们再来看一下另一个版本。
现在您觉得好多了吧！我们说过，即使这次不能满足对方的需求，只要我们处理得当，还是可以保留住潜在合作的机会。有时候，信函的作用就是这么重要。
第五篇：商务英文信函格式
商务英文信函格式大全

商务信函书信是日常生活中常用的文体，是用以交涉事宜、传达信息、交流思想、联络感情、增进了解的重要工具。书信一般可分为商务信件或公函（Business Letter or Official Correspondence）和私人信件（Private Letter）两大类。值得注意的是，英语 书信的写法与汉语书信有一些明显区别，应特别加以区分。英语 书信通常包括下面几个组成部分：信端、信内地址、称呼、正文、结束语、签名、附件、再启等。下面我们将逐个进行介绍。
1、商务信函信端（Heading）
信端即信头，一般包括写信人的地址和写信日期。一些正式信函的信端还包括发信人或单位的电话号码、电报挂号、电传、传真和邮政编码等。西方国家中有些信端甚至还有单位负责人的姓名、职务和职称等。信端的目的是使收信人一看便知道书信来自何处，何时发出，便于复信和查阅。用一般的信纸写信时，信端应写在信纸的右上角，若字数较多，可从信纸中间或偏右的地方写起。若字数较少，可适当多向右移一些，使整个信端的重心落在右上角。
商务信函信端的写法主要有并列式和斜列式两种。从目前情况来看，前者更为常用。采用并列式时，每行开头要左对齐；采用斜列式时，每行开头逐次向右移二三个字母的距离。例如：
（1）并列式
Fuxing Street
Haidian District
Beijing
Post Code: 100035People’s Republic of China
Tel: 63211234
Aug.20, 2004
（2）斜列式（Indented Form）Fuxing Street
Haidian District
Beijing
Post Code: 100035
People’s Republic of China
Tel: 63211234
Aug.20, 2004
写信端时，先写发信人的地址，地点的名称按由小到大的顺序排列，然后是其它项目和发信日期。具体次序是：第一行写门牌号和街名；第二行写区名、市（县）名、省（州、邦）名，往国外寄的信，还要写上国家的名称；国家名称的前面加上邮政编码，其后可写上电话号码，最后一行写发信日期。如果写信人的地址是机关单位的名称，则将其作为第一行。如果写信人的单位没有门牌号码和街名，则第一行可写上所在班级或专业组的名称；第二行写系、科、室名称；第三行写学校名称；第四行写市（县）、省（州）名称；然后再写邮政编码、国名、电话号码、发信日期等项。
如果使用标点符号，则在每行末尾加逗号，最后一行的末尾加句号。但当前的信件中行末大都不加标点符号，但在每行之内该用标点符号的地方，仍要用标点。特别要注意的是，门牌号码和街名之间要加逗号。月份和日期之间不可用逗号。在西方国家，城市名称之后往往写有字母或数字（如 New York, 103），表示城市的邮政编码。
关于发信日期的写法，应注意以下几点：
①年份应完全写出，不能简写。
②月份要用英文名称，不要用数字代替。
③月份名称多用公认的缩写式。但 May, June, July, 因为较短，不可缩写。
④写日期时，可用基数词1，2，3，4，5，„„28，29，30，31等，也可用序数词 lst, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, „„28th, 29th, 30th, 31lst等。但最好用基数词，简单明了。
日期可有下列几种写法：
① Oct.20, 2004
② 10 May., 2004
③ 3rd June, 2004
④ Sept.16th, 2004
其中，①最为通用。
2、商务信函信内地址（Inside Address, Introductory Address）
信内地址收信人的姓名和地址，写在信纸的左上角，从信纸的左边顶格开始写，低于写信人地址和发信日期一二行，也分并列式和斜列式两种，但应与信端的书写格式保持一致。其次序是，先写收信人姓名、头衔和单位名称，占一二行，然后写地址，可占二至四行，例如：
①并列式
Ms.Joanna Kerry
Peking University
Haidian District, 100871
Beijing
China
②斜列式
Ms.Joanna Kerry
Peking University
Haidian District,100871
Beijing
China
3.商务信函称呼（Salutation）
对收信人的称呼应自成一行，写在低于信内地址一二行的地方，从信纸的左边顶格开始写，每个词的开头字母要大写，至于末尾处的符号，英国人用逗号，但美国和加拿大 英语 则多用冒号。称呼用语可视写信人与收信人的关系而定。给外国人写英文信时，称呼用语要注意以下几点：
①对没有头衔的男性一般称呼 Mr.。Mr.用在姓氏之前或姓氏和名字之前，不可只用在名字之前，例如对的称呼，应该是：Mr.或 Mr.White, 不可是：Mr.Phil。若称呼多个男性，则在姓名前用 Mr.的复数形式 Messrs.。对一般以人名为名称的公司和企业常用这种称呼，例如：Messrs.Black and Brothers 布莱克兄弟公司。
②对女性一般称呼 Mrs.，Madam 或 Miss。Mrs.用在已婚女子的丈夫的姓氏之前，或姓氏和名字之前，一般不用在名字前 Madame 此词可以单独使用或加在丈夫的姓名之前 Mrs.没有复数形式。若称呼多个女性，则在姓名前用 Mme.的复数形式 Mmes.而对以女子名字为名称的公司、企业可用 Mesdames 称呼。Miss 多用于未婚女子，此词可缩写为 Ms，用于姓氏之前或姓氏和名字之前，一般不用于名字之前。
③对收信人的称呼，也可用头衔或职位的名称，不分性别。例如 Professor（缩写为 Prof.），Doctor（缩写为 Dr.），General(缩写为 Gen.)。这些称呼都放在姓氏之前或姓氏和名字之前，如 Prof.（Phil）White等。
④对外公函中对收信人的称呼，可用 Gentlemen（而不是 Gentleman），Dear Sir(s)和 My dear Sir(s)等。Gentlemen 之前不能加 Dear，后面也不能带姓名。用 Sirs 时，前面常用 Dear 一词，但也可单独用 Sir。若收信人是妇女，则无论已婚或未婚，都可单独使用 Madam 或其复数 Mesdames。
⑤对外国高级官员的称呼，如国家元首、政府首脑、部长、大使、公使和特使等，可用（Dear）Sir，（Dear）Mr.Chairman，（Dear）Mr.Premier，（My dear）Mr.Ambassador，Your Excellency（复数为 Excellencies）。
⑥对君主制国家的国王和皇帝等男性君主，可以 Sir 称呼，对女王、女皇和皇后等女性君主，可用 Madam 称呼。有时也用 Your Majesty 称呼以表示。客气和尊敬Your Majesty 可兼指男性和女性，其复数为 Your Majesties。
⑦对王室成员，如太子、王子、亲王和公主等，一般可用（Dear）Sir 或（Dear）Madam 但在正式尊称时，一般用 Your Highness(复数为 Highnesses)。

4.商务信函信的正文（Body of the Letter）
信的正文每段第一行应往右缩进约四五个字母。在写事务性信件时，正文一般开门见山，内容简单明了，条理清楚。在写私人信件时，信写好之后若有什么遗漏，可用 P.S.表示补叙。
5.商务信函结束语（Complimentary Close）
结束语是写信人表示自己对收信人的一种谦称，只占一行，低于正文一二行，从信纸的中间或偏右的地方开始写。第一个词的开头字母要大写，末尾用逗号。结束语视写信人与收信人的关系而定例如写给机关、团体或不相识的人的信，一般用：

6.签名（Signature）
信末的签名一般低于结束语一二行，从信纸中间偏右的地方开始写。若写信人是女性，与收信人又不相识，则一般在署名前用括号注上 Miss, Mrs.或 Ms.，以便对方回信时知道如何称呼。有的还有署名后写上自己的职称、职务或头衔

9.私人和公务信函--注意事项
首先，写信者应设身处地想到对方，尊重对方的风俗习惯。
其次，英文信应该行文流畅、言简意赅，避免冗长。这就是说，写信者应用尽可能少的文字表达其必须传递的信息，而且写信者应将其所需传递的信息表达清楚，以免对方产生误解。书信交往，同样需要以礼待人。因而在写信过程中，要避免伤害对方感情，措辞上多选用些礼貌婉转词语。
