英文书信写作格式

第一篇：英文书信写作格式

1、英文书信写作的五项基本原则

这五项基本原则是：consideration, conciseness, clarity, courtesy, correctness。即：体贴、简明、清晰、礼貌、正确。

2、英文书信的结构

信头(heading)：包括写信人地址和写信日期。位置在信笺的右上角。地址从小到大，按单位换行，比如第一行写门牌号和街道，第二行写城市和省（州），第三行写国家和邮政编码。日期按照下列格式：june 1,XX(美国），1 june,XX（英国）。

封内地址(inside address)：如果是比较正式的信函，信笺上还要写上对收信人的称呼和他的地址。它一般位于信头的下方，信笺的左边顶格的位置。

称呼(salutation)：封内地址低两行，靠左边顶格自成一行。如果是公函，则称呼对方的职位，如果是一般朋友则可称呼为my dear xx，如果是比较熟悉的朋友则可以用dear xx。

正文(the body)：有什么写什么即可。但注意五项基本原则。

结尾词和签名(complmentary close and signature)：一般信函的结尾词用yours sincerely/truely/faithfully)。如果是公函则以yours respectfully结尾为多。亲密一些的私人信件则可以根据情况以yours ever/ affectionaely，love,等结尾。结尾词下方要求手写签名，手写签名下方打印签名。

附件和再启(enclosure and postscript)：如果有附件，则可以按照这样的格式写：enclosure: xxx。如果有另外的事情需要补充，则可以用p.s.开头，表示“又启，又及”的意思。

信封的格式(superscription)：写信人的姓名地址位于信封左上角（或信封背面中上方）。收信人的姓名地址位于信封中央或偏右。

收转：在收信人姓名下方写上收转人的姓名，并在前面写上c/o字样。

便条是一种简单的书信。虽然内容简单，但却有其独特的风格。主要目的是为了尽快的把最新的信息、通知、要求或者活动的时间、地点转告给对方。常见的便条有收条、欠条、留言和请假条等。

便条可以有题目，也可以省略题目。便条开篇须有称呼语，但称呼可以比较随便。日期部分可写在便条的右上角。日期的签署通常只需写星期几或星期几的上午、下午，也可只写上午或下午和具体时间。只写日期也可以。便条结尾须署上留条人的姓名，位置在正文的右下角。便条的形式和内容简洁，故可以用几句话概括。文内语言尽量通俗口语化，简单扼要，直截了当，无需使用客套语言。便条虽简单，但中心务必突出，更要注明活动的时间及地点。便条不需邮寄，不用信封。通常请人代为转交。有时可写在留言板和留言簿上。

便条写作格式

便条内容和类型不尽相同，可以灵活变通。但各类便条必须包括以下几个基本要素；1）Date：便条日期2）Salutation：称呼3）Body：正文4）Signature：署名

请假条：往往指由于生病或特殊情况不能亲自当面请假，用假条的形式告假。所以，请假条大多是病假条。可以自写，也可请他人代写。写假条最重要的是说明原因和请假的期限。

第四篇：英文书信格式

英文书信格式

1、信头（Heading）指发信人的姓名（单位名称）、地址和日期，一般写在信纸的右上角。一般公函或商业信函的信纸上都印有单位或公司的名称、地址、电话号码等，因此就只需在信头下面的右边写上写信日期就可以了。英文地址的写法与中文完全不同，地址的名称按从小到大的顺序：第一行写门牌号码和街名；第二行写县、市、省、州、邮编、国名；然后再写日期。标点符号一般在每一行的末尾都不用，但在每一行的之间，该用的还要用，例如在写日期的时候。日期的写法，如2010年7月30日，英文为：July 30，2010（最为普遍）； July 30th，2010；30th July，2010等。2010不可写成10。

2、信内地址（Inside Address）在一般的社交信中，信内收信人的地址通常省略，但是在公务信函中不能。将收信人的姓名、地址等写在信头日期下方的左角上，要求与对信头的要求一样，不必再写日期。

3、称呼（Salutation）是写信人对收信人的称呼用语。位置在信内地址下方一、二行的地方，从该行的顶格写起，在称呼后面一般用逗号（英国式），也可以用冒号（美国式）。（1）写给亲人、亲戚和关系密切的朋友时，用Dear或My dear再加上表示亲属关系的称呼或直称其名（这里指名字，不是姓氏）。例如：My dear father，Dear Tom等。（2）写给公务上的信函用Dear Madam，Dear Sir或Gentleman（Gentlemen）。注意：Dear纯属公务上往来的客气形式。Gentlemen总是以复数形式出现，前不加Dear，是Dear Sir的复数形式。（3）写给收信人的信，也可用头衔、职位、职称、学位等再加姓氏或姓氏和名字。例如：Dear Prof.Tim Scales, Dear Dr.John Smith。

4、正文（Body of the Letter）位置在下面称呼语隔一行，是信的核心部分。因此要求正文层次分明、简单易懂。和中文信不同的是，正文中一般不用Hello！（你好！）正文有缩进式和齐头式两种。每段书信第一行的第一个字母稍微向右缩进些，通常以五个字母为宜，每段第二行从左面顶格写起，这就是缩进式。但美国人写信各段落往往不用缩进式，用齐头式，即每一行都从左面顶格写起。商务信件大都采用齐头式的写法。

5、结束语（Complimentary Close）在正文下面的一、二行处，从信纸的中间偏右处开始，第一个词开头要大写，句末用逗号。不同的对象，结束语的写法也不同。（1）写给家人、亲戚，用Your loving grandfather，Lovingly yours，Lovingly等；

（2）写给熟人、朋友，用Yours cordially，Yours affectionately等；

（3）写业务信函用Truely yours（Yours truely），Faithfully yours（Yours faithfully）等；

（4）对上级、长辈用Yours obediently（Obediently yours），Yours respectfully（Respectfully yours）等。

6、签名（Signature）低于结束语一至二行，从信纸中间偏右的地方开始，在结束语的正下方，在签完名字的下面还要有用打字机打出的名字，以便识别。职务、职称可打在名字的下面。当然，写给亲朋好友的信，就不必再打了。

7、附言（Postscript）一封信写完了，突然又想起遗漏的事情，这时用P.S.表示，再写上遗漏的话即可，要长话短说。通常在信末签名下面几行的左方，应于正文齐头。注意：在正式的信函中，应避免使用附言。

8、附件（Enclosure）信件如果有附件，可在信纸的左下角，注上Encl：或Enc：，例如：Encl：2 photos（内附两张照片）。如果福建附件不止一项，应写成Encl：或Encs。我们有时可看到在称呼与正文之间有Re：或Subject：（事由）字样。一般在信纸的中间，也可与“称呼”对齐。还应在底下加横线，以引起读信人的注意，使收信人便于在读信之前就可了解信中的主要内容。事由一般在公务信函中使用，也可以省略。

第五篇：英文书信格式

一)英文书信的组成部分

英文书信一般由六部分组成。即：信头（Heading）、信内地址（Inside Address），称呼（Salutation），正文（Body of Letter）、结束语（Complimentary Close）、署名（Signature），有时在书信后面还有附言（Postscript）、附件（Enclosure），这得视具体情况而定。下面将分别说明。

1.信头（Heading）

信头是指写信人的地址和写信日期，一般写在或打在第一面信纸的右上角，先写地址再写日期，地址的写法是从小到大，先写门牌号、路号，再写区名、市名、省名，最后写国名。时间的写法对英国人和美国人而言是不同的。英国人习惯按日、月、年的顺序写，而美国人习惯按月、日、年的顺序写。例如： 英式：1st October，1999 美式：October 1，1999 在使用前一种形式时，月和年之间的逗号可用可不用，但是在后一种形式中，必需要使用逗号。

信头的写法有缩进式和齐头式。缩进式每行开头向右缩进一两个字母；齐头式左边对齐排列，如下所示： 缩进式 Wang Ming Dept.of Chemical Engineering Dalian University of Technology Dalian 116023 Liaoning Province P.R.China 齐头式 Wang Ming Dept.of Chemical Engineering Dalian University of Technology Dalian 116023 Liaoning Province P.R.China 2.信内地址（Inside Address）信内地址要写出收信人的姓名和地址。一般给比较生疏的亲友的信和公事信件要写出信内地址，而熟悉朋友可以省去这一步骤。信内地址写出在日期下一两行的左上角，第一行写收信人的称呼姓名，然后写出地址。地质也是从小到大写出，分缩进式和齐头式两种。例如： 缩进式

The President Oxford University England 齐头式 Jiang Bin 64Heping Road P.R.China 3.称呼（Salutation）

称呼是对收信人的称谓。在信内地址下一两行处顶格写起，自成一行。末尾用逗号或冒号。

（1）当给一位熟悉的人写信时可以用Dear 或是My Dear。在英国，My Dear 比Dear亲切，而在美国，Dear比My Dear 亲切。

（2）当给一位你不知婚否的女性写信时，可以用Ms.……，这是指“……女士”。（3）在给不熟悉的人写信时，可以用Dear sir, Dear Madam, Dear sirs, Gentleman 等等。

4正文（Body of Letter）

正文是一封信的主体部分。通常在称呼的下一行写出。正文也可采用齐头式或缩进式的方法。齐头式是反映每段开头一行和后面行并齐。缩进式是指每段的第一行向右缩进几个字母。信笺讲究简洁、效率。开头几句简单地寒暄后就不如正题，在结尾处要有祝愿和敬语。常用的开头语有：

I have received your letter of July Ist.7月1 日来信已经收悉。I have the pleasure to tell you that …….很高兴告诉你……。

I am very much delighted to receive your letter.非常高兴收到你的来信。It is my honor to inform you that ……很荣幸告诉你……。常用的结束套话有：

I am looking forward to hearing from you 盼早日回信。Wish best regards.祝好。

Thank you for your help 感谢你的帮助！

Wish my best wishes for your success.祝你成功。Wishing you a happy holiday.祝假日愉快！

Hoping to hear from you soon.希望能尽快收到你的回信。

５结束语（Complimentary Close）

结束语在正文之后隔一两行的偏右方开始写出。开头字母用大写，以后的字母用小写，最后一个词后面用逗句。常用的结束语有： 一般非正式的关系： Yours sincerely, Yours truly, Yours faithfully, Most sincerely, Faithfully yours, 亲密的关系： Love, Yours love, Yours Affectionately, With love, Lovingly yours, Yours ever, 上级和长者：

Yours respectfully, Faithfully yours, ６署名（Signature）

在结束语的下方是签名，先手写出，再打出来。如果收信人不认识写出信人，可以在署名前用括号标出Mr.、Miss或Ms。在名称下面可注上头衔。如： Yours sincerely, Lucy Blake(手写)Lucy Blake(Miss)(打印)Sales Manager ７附言（Postscript）,附件（Enclosure）

在信件正文写作时可能漏掉了某些事，或临时发生了某事需要补充时，可以在信下面左下方写出上P.S.如果随信有附件可在爱左下端注明。如： Enclosure:1.Invoice(发票)2.Resume(个人简历)

（二）英文书信实例

上面介绍了英文写信的主要组成部分以及各部分的写作特点，接下来我们将提供五种英文书信的范例。１祝贺信

当朋友有了喜事，如结婚、高升、获奖的时候，你可以向他写出一封祝贺信，表达你的嘱咐与恭贺。

例文１

Mechanical Engineering Department Dalian University of Technology Dalian 116023 Liaoning,China November28,1999 Mr.WangXiming Mechanical Engineering Department Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Mass.02139 U.S.A.Dear Mr.Wang, Thank you for your letter of November 3,1999.I am sorry not to have written back earlier but time seems to pass so quickly.I learnt from your letter that you had received you master's degree.I would like to congratulate you on your splendid success.In this letter I am bringing you a piece of good news：your wife gave a birth of a boy last week and she ins in good health now.The baby weighed eight jin at birth.Yesterday my wife and some other neighbors went to the hospital to see your wife and to congratulate her on the birth.She told them that she had been nursed with the best care since she was in hospital.Now I'm taking the Visiting School Test in Beijing.If I pass the examination, I'll leave for America soon.If not, I'll wait for another chance.I've never been to the U.S.A., and I know little about the institutions and customs there.I hope that you will write to me and tell me more about them.With best regards to you and your classmates.Yours sincerely, Zhang Jiao 2 感谢信

当别人帮了你一个忙时，你应该给他写封信，以示感激。例文２

Dear John: Thank you very much for the nice birthday present you have sent me!I have been longing for a dictionary for a long time.It will surly be very helpful to my study.It's very nice of you to remember my birthday.I'll make good use of the dictionary and I'll think of you with gratitude and affection every time I use it.Love, Sally 3邀请信

当邀请某位朋友参加活动，如交游、宴会时，可以写一封邀请信。信的语气应该谦逊，热情。例文３

当申请一项工作，或是申请一个学校留学时，都应该使用申请信。申请信应该简洁、明确、如实地反映你的才能、成绩、愿望和目标。例文４

下面是一封申请留学的书信：
