英語書信的格式及范文
在日常學習、工作或生活中,大家都寫過書信吧,書信是人們表達情感的一種特別方式。你知道書信怎樣才能寫的好嗎?下面是小編幫大家整理的英語書信的格式及范文,僅供參考,歡迎大家閱讀。
英語書信的格式及 篇1
(一) 英文書信的組成部分
英文書信一般由六部分組成。即:信頭(Heading)、信內地址(Inside Address),
稱呼(Salutation),正文(Body of Letter)、結束語(Complimentary Close)、署名(Signature),
有時在書信后面還有附言(Postscript)、附件(Enclosure),這得視具體情況而定。下面將分別說明。
1. 信頭(Heading)
信頭是指寫信人的地址和寫信日期, 一般寫在或打在第一面信紙的右上角,先寫地址再寫日期,地址的寫法是從小到大,先寫門牌號、路號,再寫區名、市名、省名,最后寫國名。時間的寫法對英國人和美國人而言是不同的。英國人習慣按日、月、年的順序寫,而美國人習慣按月、日、年的順序寫。例如:
英式:1st October,1999
美式:October 1,1999
在使用前一種形式時,月和年之間的逗號可用可不用,但是在后一種形式中,必需要使用逗號。
信頭的寫法有縮進式和齊頭式。縮進式每行開頭向右縮進一兩個字母;齊頭式左邊對齊排列,如下所示:
縮進式
Wang Ming
Dept. of Chemical Engineering
Dalian University of Technology
Dalian 116023
Liaoning Province
P. R. China
齊頭式
Wang Ming
Dept. of Chemical Engineering
Dalian University of Technology
Dalian 116023
Liaoning Province
P. R. China
2. 信內地址 (Inside Address)
信內地址要寫出收信人的姓名和地址。一般給比較生疏的親友的信和公事信件要寫出信內地址,而熟悉朋友可以省去這一步驟。信內地址寫出在日期下一兩行的左上角,第一行寫收信人的稱呼姓名,然后寫出地址。地質也是從小到大寫出,分縮進式和齊頭式兩種。例如:
縮進式
The President
Oxford University
England
齊頭式
Jiang Bin
64Heping Road
P.R.China
3.稱呼(Salutation)
稱呼是對收信人的稱謂。在信內地址下一兩行處頂格寫起,自成一行。末尾用逗號或冒號。
(1)當給一位熟悉的人寫信時可以用Dear 或是My Dear。在英國,My Dear 比Dear親切,而在美國,Dear比My Dear 親切。
(2)當給一位你不知婚否的女性寫信時,可以用Ms.……,這是指"……女士"。
(3)在給不熟悉的人寫信時,可以用Dear sir, Dear Madam, Dear sirs, Gentleman 等等。
4正文(Body of Letter)
正文是一封信的主體部分。通常在稱呼的下一行寫出。正文也可采用齊頭式或縮進式的方法。齊頭式是反映每段開頭一行和后面行并齊?s進式是指每段的第一行向右縮進幾個字母。信箋講究簡潔、效率。開頭幾句簡單地寒暄后就不如正題,在結尾處要有祝愿和敬語。
常用的開頭語有:
I have received your letter of July Ist. 7月1 日來信已經收悉。
I have the pleasure to tell you that …….很高興告訴你……。
I am very much delighted to receive your letter. 非常高興收到你的來信。
It is my honor to inform you that ……很榮幸告訴你……。
常用的`結束套話有:
I am looking forward to hearing from you 盼早日回信。
Wish best regards. 祝好。
Thank you for your help 感謝你的幫助!
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. 希望能盡快收到你的回信。
5結束語(Complimentary Close)
結束語在正文之后隔一兩行的偏右方開始寫出。開頭字母用大寫,以后的字母用小寫,最后一個詞后面用逗句。
常用的結束語有:
一般非正式的關系:
Yours sincerely,
Yours truly,
Yours faithfully,
Most sincerely,
Faithfully yours,
親密的關系:
Love,
Yours love,
Yours Affectionately,
With love,
Lovingly yours,
Yours ever,
上級和長者:
Yours respectfully,
Faithfully yours,
6署名(Signature)
在結束語的下方是簽名,先手寫出,再打出來。如果收信人不認識寫出信人,可以在署名前用括號標出Mr.、Miss或Ms。在名稱下面可注上頭銜。如:
Yours sincerely,
Lucy Blake (手寫)
Lucy Blake (Miss)(打印)
Sales Manager
7附言(Postscript),附件(Enclosure)
在信件正文寫作時可能漏掉了某些事,或臨時發生了某事需要補充時,可以在信下面左下方寫出上P.S.
如果隨信有附件可在愛左下端注明。如:
Enclosure:1.Invoice(發票)
2.Resume(個人簡歷)
(二)英文書信實例
上面介紹了英文寫信的主要組成部分以及各部分的寫作特點,接下來我們將提供五種英文書信的范例。

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.

英語書信的格式及 篇2
1、信頭(heading)
指發信人的姓名(單位名稱)、地址和日期,一般寫在信紙的右上角。一般公函或商業信函的信紙上都印有單位或公司的名稱、地址、電話號碼等,因此就只需在信頭下面的右邊寫上寫信日期就可以了。
英文地址的寫法與中文完全不同,地址的名稱按從小到大的順序:第一行寫門牌號碼和街名;第二行寫縣、市、盛州、郵編、國名;然后再寫日期。標點符號一般在每一行的末尾都不用,但在每一行的之間,該用的還要用,例如在寫日期的時候。
日期的寫法,如1997年7月30日,英文為:july 30,1997(最為普遍);july 30th,1997;30th july,1997等。1997不可寫成97。
2、信內地址(inside address)
在一般的社交信中,信內收信人的地址通常省略,但是在公務信函中不能。將收信人的姓名、地址等寫在信頭日期下方的左角上,要求與對信頭的要求一樣,不必再寫日期。例如:
3、稱呼(salutation)
是寫信人對收信人的稱呼用語。位置在信內地址下方一、二行的地方,從該行的頂格寫起,在稱呼后面一般用逗號(英國式),也可以用冒號(美國式)。
。1)寫給親人、親戚和關系密切的朋友時,用dear或my dear再加上表示親屬關系的稱呼或直稱其名(這里指名字,不是姓氏)。例如:my dear father,dear tom等。
。2)寫給公務上的信函用dear madam,dear sir或gentleman(gentlemen)。注意:dear純屬公務上往來的客氣形式。gentlemen總是以復數形式出現,前不加dear,是dear sir的復數形式。
(3)寫給收信人的信,也可用頭銜、職位、職稱、學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)
位置在下面稱呼語隔一行,是信的核心部分。因此要求正文層次分明、簡單易懂。和中文信不同的是,正文中一般不用hello。愫茫。
正文有縮進式和齊頭式兩種。每段書信第一行的第一個字母稍微向右縮進些,通常以五個字母為宜,每段第二行從左面頂格寫起,這就是縮進式。
但美國人寫信各段落往往不用縮進式,用齊頭式,即每一行都從左面頂格寫起。商務信件大都采用齊頭式的寫法。
5、結束語(complimentary close)
在正文下面的一、二行處,從信紙的中間偏右處開始,第一個詞開頭要大寫,句末用逗號。不同的對象,結束語的寫法也不同。
。1)寫給家人、親戚,用your loving grandfather,lovingly yours,lovingly等;
。2)寫給熟人、朋友,用yours cordially,yours affectionately等;
(3)寫業務信函用truely yours(yours truely),faithfully yours(yours faithfully)等;
(4)對上級、長輩用yours obediently(obediently yours),yours respectfully(respectfully yours)等。
6、簽名(signature)
低于結束語一至二行,從信紙中間偏右的地方開始,在結束語的正下方,在簽完名字的下面還要有用打字機打出的名字,以便識別。職務、職稱可打在名字的下面。當然,寫給親朋好友的信,就不必再打了。
7、附言(postscript)
一封信寫完了,突然又想起遺漏的事情,這時用p.s.表示,再寫上遺漏的話即可,要長話短說。通常在信末簽名下面幾行的左方,應于正文齊頭。
注意:在正式的信函中,應避免使用附言。
8、附件(enclosure)
信件如果有附件,可在信紙的左下角,注上encl:或enc:,例如:encl:2 photos(內附兩張照片)。如果福建附件不止一項,應寫成encl:或encs。
我們有時可看到在稱呼與正文之間有re:或subject:(事由)字樣。一般在信紙的中間,也可與“稱呼”對齊。還應在底下加橫線,以引起讀信人的注意,使收信人便于在讀信之前就可了解信中的主要內容。事由一般在公務信函中使用,也可以省略。
例文
20 July 2006
Dear Mr. Wang,
Thank you for taking the time to write your wonderful letter in support of MCEA (Maywood Chinese Education Association). Your letter clearly articulates all the major reasons children in Maywood will benefit from studying the Chinese language as part of their elementary school education. It provides invaluable support that will help making bilingual Chinese education a reality in Maywood public schools.
Although MCEA would like to see Palo Alto public schools implement the first bilingual Chinese kindergarten class in September of 2006, we have learned that the school district must take the time to understand how a new program will affect existing educational offerings, and to validate community interest. Nevertheless, MCEA, with more than 70 members, will continue to actively promote bilingual Chinese education in the Palo Alto public schools and will keep you apprised of the progress we make.
Thanks again for sending a letter in support of MCEA. We' will continue to do all we can to realize this program both for families of Chinese descent and those with a general interest in participating in the growing economic power of China.
Yours sincerely,
George Chen
