第一篇：英文信件格式
英语信函写作大全超值篇
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、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，可仍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。
信端的写法主要有并列式和斜列式两种。仍目前情况来看，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: 100035 People’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，仌要用标点。
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：
年份应完全写出，不能简写。
月份要用英文名称，不要用数字代替。
月份名称多用公认的缩写式。但 May, June, July, 因为较短，不可缩写。
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：
Oct.20, 2004
10 May., 2004
3rd June, 2004
Sept.16th, 2004
其中，最为通用。
2.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，仍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：
并列式
Ms.Joanna Kerry
Peking University
Haidian District, 100871
Beijing
China
斜列式
Ms.Joanna Kerry
Peking University
Haidian District,100871
Beijing
China
3.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，仍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：
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。
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。
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。
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。
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）。
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。
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)。
收信人称呼：

主席或董事长Chairman／副主席或副董事长Vice Chairman／副总统或副校长Vice President ／首相Prime Minister／总理Premier／省长或州长Governor／市长Mayor／参议员Senator／大使Ambassador
秘书长Secretary General／一秘First Secretary／二秘Second Secretary／院长Director,Dean／副院长Vice Director／系主仸Dean,Head,Chair／馆长Chief Librarian,Curator／阁下Excellency／神甫Father
4.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.表示补变。
5.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，仍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：
Yours(very)truly, Yours(very)faithfully,Yours(very)sincerely，等等。
写给上级和长者的信一般可用：
Yours(very)respectfully, Yours(very)obediently, Yours gratefully, Yours appreciatively, Your obedient servant, 等等。

Yours hurriedly, Yours hastily, Yours in haste, 等等。
写信给挚友，表示歉意时，可用：
Contritely yours, Regretfully yours, Yours in(with)regret, Yours in(with)deep remorse 等。
在欧洲一些国家里，多把Yours 放在 sincerely等词的前面。在美国和加拿大等国，则多用，把 yours 放在 Sincerely 等词之后。Yours 一词有时也可省略。
6.签名（Signature）
信末的签名一般低于结束语一二行，仍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
7.附件（Enclosure）
信件若有附件，应在左下角注明 Encl.或 Enc.。若附件不止一个，则应写出2（或3，4，5等）Encls.，例如：
Enc: Resume
Encls:Grade Certificate
8.再启（Postscript, 缩写为 P.S.）
再启部分用于补变正文中遗漏的话，一般应尽量少用，正式的函件中更应避免使用。
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。
最后，除了避免语法、拼写、标点错误外，信中所引用的史料、数据等也应准确无误.私人和公务信函--常用句式。
常用的起首语有：
1）Thank you for your letter dated Dec.22,1969.2)Many thanks for your letter of Sept.5，1997.常用的结束语有：
1）Awaiting your good news，2)Looking forward to your early reply，3)Hoping to hear from you soon

第二篇：英文信件
英语道歉信范文及常用句式
道歉信是指因过失或疏忽做错了事，给别人带来了麻烦或损失，发觉后要立即写信给对方赔礼道歉时写的信件。道歉是一种礼貌，道歉信要写得坦率，诚恳。
道歉信通常包括三部分内容：
1、表示歉意，道歉的原由；
2、出现差错的原因，提出弥补措施；
3、请求原谅。语言要诚挚，解释的理由要真实。好的道歉信不仅会取得对方的谅解，还会增进彼此的感情。
写作“三步曲”：
表示歉意→说明具体原因、提出补救办法→再次致歉，希望得到理解。
注意：
理由要尽量合理，违反生活常识将导致扣分；尽量提供一个合适的补救办法，使行文更加顺畅。

范文7 美国政府关于撞机事件的致歉信（英文）
中新网北京4月11日消息：以下是美国驻华大使普理赫，今日下午就撞机事件递交给中国外长唐家璇的信件英文全文。
Dear Mr Minister，On behalf of the United States Government, I now outline steps to resolve this issue.Both President Bush and Secretary of State Powell have expressed their sincere regret over your missing pilot and aircraft.Please convey to the Chinese people and to the family of pilot Wang Wei that we are very sorry for their loss.Although the full picture of what transpired is still unclear, according to our information, our severely crippled aircraft made an emergency landing after following international emergency procedures.We are very sorry the entering of China's airspace and the landing did not have verbal clearance, but very pleased the crew landed safely.We appreciate China's efforts to see to the well-being of our crew.In view of the tragic incident and based on my discussions with your representatives, we have agreed to the following actions:
Both sides agree to hold a meeting to discuss the incident.My government understands and expects that our air crew will be permitted to depart China as soon as possible.The meeting would be April 18, 2001.The meeting agenda would include discussions of the causes of the incident, possible recommendations whereby such collisions could be avoided in the future, development of a plan for prompt return of the EP-3 aircraft, and other related issues.We acknowledge your government's intention to raise U.S.reconnaissance missions near China in the meeting.Sincerely

菲律宾年轻人的一封道歉信
As you are reading this letter, I bet that you have seen/heard about what happened earlier in our country.Tourists were hostages of a policeman here, Rolando Mendoza.After a few hours of the horrible crime, some of the victims were dead including the hostage-taker.I wrote this letter not just to apologize but also to let everyone know that we Filipinos are not all like Mendoza.We are loving and good-hearted people.For so many years, our country has been standing tall and surpassing every dilemma;be it small or big.Years ago(back when I wasn’t born yet), you have watched us fight for what we think is right.We fought for the democracy of our nation..The EDSA revolution.But that’s just one out of many.Second.We Filipinos have been serving other countries for our families and we treat you as our own as well.With all due respect, I thank you all for giving us the trust through the years.For helping us to become what we are now.The Philippines is more than just a group of islands.We are a nation of strong and remarkable people.A country of beauty and love known to be hospitable and well-valued.I humbly apologize for what happened tonight.No one in this world would want something like that to happen for life should be valued.I politely ask the attention of the world.Please do not judge and mistreat us just because of what happened tonight.I have been searching the net and found terrible things.Hong Kong advices to avoid travels here, China and HK bans Filipinos and that Philippines is the worst place to go.I can’t blame you for what you have decided but I hope that you could understand.Our country is now in a sea of problems.And I know for sure that we helped you in a way or another.Let peace and understanding reign this time.I know that this letter will just be trash but I wish that you would understand.On behalf of the Philippine population..WE ARE SORRY.As a song puts it…
And I believe that in my life I will see an end to hopelessness, giving-up and suffering.And we all stand together this one time then no one will get left behind.Stand up for life.STAND UP FOR LOVE
Sincerely yours，Reigno Jose Dilao
既然你在读着这封信，我想你一定看过或者听说过早前在我的祖国发生的事情。
游客们被警察Rolando Mendoza当作人质。可怕的罪行持续一段时间后，一些人质死了，而劫匪Mendoza也被击毙。
我写这封信，不仅仅是为了道歉，也是为了让所有人知道，我们菲律宾人并不都是Mendoza。我们是充满爱并且热心的人民。
许多年来，我们的国家曾经挺立于世，经历了所有，无论大或者小的困境。数十年前（回到我还没出生的时候），你看过我们为了我们所认同的真理而战斗。我们是为了自己国家的民主而奋战......像EDSA起义。但那只是我们许多努力中的一部分。
其次，我们菲律宾人为了我们的家庭一直在为其他国家服务，我们对待你们如同对待自己的家人。冒昧的说，我感谢你们所有人这么多年来信任我们，帮助我们成为今天的菲律宾人。
菲律宾不仅仅由一些岛屿组成。我们的民族是一个由坚强，卓越的人们组成的民族。我们的国家是一个美丽好客，价值非凡的国家。我谦卑地为昨晚发生的事情道歉。世界上没有人会希望类似的事情发生在宝贵无价的生命上面。
我诚恳地请求全世界注意。请不要只因为昨晚发生的事件就武断地判定和误解我们。我在网络上搜寻后发现了一些很糟糕的事情。香港政府建议不要来这里旅游，中国大陆和香港对菲律宾颁布禁令，菲律宾变成了最不该去的地方。
我不能因为你所决定的而责怪你，但我希望你理解。我们的国家现在正处于无数问题之中。我也肯定我们在某方面帮助过你们。让和平与谅解统领这个时刻。
我知道这封信将会被丢弃，但我祈求你会理解。我以菲律宾人的名义说出，我们，很抱歉。正如一首歌唱的一样......我相信在我的生命中我将会看到绝望，放弃，折磨迎来尽头。这一次我们所有人都会站在一起，没人会被落下。为了生命而站出来，为了爱站出来。
你真诚的，Reigno Jose Dilao

Dear Jacques, I’m writing to you because we’ve been having a bit of trouble with one of our suppliers who makes the lightweight batteries we use to power our vehicles.I’m pretty sure you don’t have a local distributor of your products in this country, which is why I’m writing to you direct to se if you can help us out.I did try to call, but you weren’t available.I’m sending some copies of our technical brochures to that you can see what we need.Here’s the specification: Polymeric Batteries
Maximum Size:
Height: 200mm
Depth: 200mm
Width: 300mm Maximum Weight:
5kg Output:
1000 watts @ 12 volts Rechargeable life at full power: hours Labels:
Each unit should bear a label giving: The output of the battery, its month and year of manufacture, your own company’s name and country, a product code number and a unique unit number
Quantity:
4,800 units
Delivery:
by 15 September 2002
I’d appreciate it if you could quote us your best CIF price, giving a full specification of your product and shipping date.Of course our technical department would need to have some samples of the batteries to test in our laboratories before we could place a firm order.We usually deal with new suppliers on the basis of payment in our currency by confirmed irrevocable Letter of Credit.Assuming the laboratory tests go well, and you can quote us a competitive price, we’d certainly be able to place more substantial orders on a regular basis.I’ll be out of the office for a couple of weeks from tomorrow.In the meantime, do get in touch with one of my assistants Mr.Cloud and Mrs.Lewis if you need any more information.Looking forward to hearing from you.Giving my best regards to Jeanne and the kids.Best wishes，Fred Fred A.North, Buying manager

7）出国留学推荐信(Recommendation Letter for Studying Abroad)随着我国出国留学生日年增多一般，大部分学生需要在出国前让自己的老师、导师或领导写一份出国推荐信，从而可以在信中告知对方学校申请人的学历、能力、为人处世等方面的情况。如果推荐信是写给对方某某人的，开头用 Dear…，如果是写给对方单位或学校的，则开头可以用To whom it may concern, 或To Whom It May Concern,（意为：有关负责人）。
以下是一封出国留学推荐信：
Department of International Business University of Texas at Arlington Arlington, Texas 76019 U.S.A.March 12, 2002
To Whom It May Concern，I am delighted to write this recommendation letter for Ms.Ma Yan, a brilliant student of mine, who has applied to your University for admission to graduate program of International Business in the coming fall semester 2002.In the academic year 1997 – 2001, Ms.Ma Yan was in the class on International Finance and Foreign Trade Business under my instruction.Needless to say, the two courses demand prior study of, among other things, the English language.Ms.Ma Yan’s performance in my class was quite outstanding.From discussions, assignments and terminal exams, I could see that she had acquired extensive knowledge in the conduct of International Finance as well as Foreign Trade Business.As far as I know, Ms.Ma Yan has been highly successful in almost all the major courses she has taken in our Department.This demonstrates her superior scholastic capacity and her potential for further academic growth.As to her character and personality, in my personal opinion, she is indeed a courteous, pleasant and ambitious young lady.Furthermore, she has a warm personality with emotional maturity.With this good character, I would say that she will be able to get well along with people of different nationalities.Considering her a student of high potential, I recommend her most enthusiastically.Your assistance and kind cons
