第三篇:英文写作---信函
信函
信函(Letter)是用以交涉事务、增进了解、联络友谊、交流思想的重要工具。英语信函主要包括私人信函(Personal Letters)和公务信函(Business Letters)两大类。公务信函,一般用来处理或讨论重要事务,包括邀请信(Invitation Letter)、感谢信(Thankyou Letter)、道歉信(Letter of Apologies)、祝贺信(Letter of Congratulations)等。按照一般的格式英语信函主要由六个部分组成:信头、信内地址、称呼、正文、结句、签名;有的信函还包括附言和附件部分(常用P.S.表示)。信头(Heading)
信头由发信人地址和发信日期两部分组成,通常写在第一页的右上角。行首可以缩进去写,也可以齐头写;行尾可用也可不用标点符号。值得注意的是,英语书信中的地址与中文正好相反,应该由小到大,先写门牌号码、街名,再写城市名、州(省)名、邮编、最后再写国名。如: No.256, Chaoyang Street Beijing, 100069, China
日期的写法英、美两种格式都可以,英国顺序为“日、月、年”,美国顺序则为“月、日、年”,如: 27 Sep., 2006(英)Sep.27, 2006(美)
信内地址(Inside Address)
包括收信人的姓名和地址,一般置于信纸的左上角。在私人信函中,这一部分经常省略。其格式和发信人的姓名、地址一样。称呼(Salutation)
称呼位于收信人地址之下的一至二行,顶格写起,自成一行。在私人信函中后面用逗号,在公务信函中则用冒号。
正文(The Body of the Letter)信件的主要内容。
结句(Complimentary Closure)
类似于中文中的“此致”“敬礼”这类的话,主要是一些套语。一般是正文结束隔两行另起,独立成行,位于信纸的右角,也可以略居中右方。签名
写信人的名字一般签在结尾语下面一至二行处。在私人信函中只需亲笔签名就可以了,而在公务信函中,发信人的亲笔签名应该写在结尾套语和打印的姓名之间。
以上几点是英语信函的共同特征。
范文:致歉信
No.256, Chaoyang Street Beijing, 100069, China Sep.27, 2006
Dear professor Jackson:
I am indeed very sorry that I missed the examination you gave on Moby-Dick last Wednesday.I feel badly about it and want you to know what happened.On my way to class that day, I had a flat tire, and I had to go with the mechanic when he repaired it.It took me more than one hour to get it done.A copy of the bill is enclosed.I sincerely hope you can accept my apologies and understand my situation.I would appreciate your allowing me to take a make up examination.I will come to your office during your office hour on Monday to discuss this possibility with you.Once again, I’m sorry for any inconvenience caused.Sincerely yours,Alice

3、称呼(salutation)——写信人对收信人的称呼:
左起顶格写,后用逗号,常以“Dear…”或“My dear…”开头。写给亲属通常用“Dear+称呼”,如:“Dear Mum,”;写给平辈或晚辈可直呼其名,如:“Dear Tim,”;写给不熟悉者用“Dear Mr+姓,”或“Dear Mrs+其夫,”.4、正文(Body)——信函的主体部分:从称呼的下一行写起,每段开头均留四、五个字母的空白。
5、结束语——(complimentary close)结束客套语在正文下只占一行,从靠近信纸的中央写起。首字母大写,其后用逗号。对上级或长辈可用“Yours trulysincerely,”“ Trulysincerely Yours,”等,对朋友或其它亲密者可用“Yours(ever),”“Ever yours,”等。
