英文书信的格式和范文
在平时的学习、工作或生活中,大家都不可避免地要接触到书信吧,书信有助于增进人与人之间的交流。你知道书信要怎么写才正确吗?下面是小编为大家整理的英文书信的格式和范文,欢迎阅读与收藏。
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)

Dear Xiao Wang,
I’m very glad to learn that you’re going to visit me during the week-long holiday. My parents will also be happy to see you again. I am sure you will enjoy every minute here.
I have arranged our schedule for the holiday as follows. On the first day you arrive, I’ll show you around our campus. On the second day, we’ll visit the art gallery and the music hall. Next day, we’ll climb a hill in the northeastern part of the city. On the top of the hill, we can have a wonderful bird’s eye view of the city. During the next three days, we’ll make some short trips to some places of interest nearby, such as the Swan Cave, the Golden Lake, etc. On the last day, I’ll see you off at the railway station.
Please remember to call and tell me your train number and time of arrival so that I can meet you at the railway station. By the way, it’s very hot here and we have a lot of sunshine, so don’t forget to wear you sunglasses.
I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.
Sincerely yours,
Zhang Ying

Dear Peter,
I am feeling substantially glad to receive your letter, in which you ask me about the abolishing of one-child policy in our country. As is known to us all, the Chinese government started to adopt one-child policy thirty years ago; that is, one couple can have only one child, mo matter it is a boy or girl.However, with the development of society, more and more people are getting old and old while few and few new-born babiesare coming to the world. Consequently, our country are facing a increasingly severe problem ----we are lacking in sufficient labors. In order to have such a problem settled, the government has made a decision toendthe former policy and encourage residents to bear their second child.
My parents now would like to give birth to their new baby,adding new member to our family, and they also consult me about their desire. I think it will wonderful to have a brother or a sister, and I am looking forward to his arrival.
yours sincerely,
Li hua
