英语作文写信格式
英语作文中书信的格式
a 信头(heading)
信头包括写信人地址和写信日期，通常写在信笺的右上角。在比较熟识的朋友之间的通信，写信人的地址常可略去。本课的信头就只写了写信日期，而没有写信人的地址。日期通常有下列两种定法：
(a)月、日、年：如august 15, 200__
(b)日、月、年：如15th august, 200__
地址的写法通常是由小到大，如：门牌号、街道名、市(县)名、省名、国名(邮政编码通常写在城市名之后)。这同中文书信的地址写法完全相反。地址可以写1～3行，日期写在地址的下方(见信笺格式)。
b 称呼(salutation)
称呼指写信人对收信人的称呼，如dear xiaojun，写在信头的下方和信笺的左边。称呼一般用dear或my dear开头，称呼后一般用逗号。
c 正文(body)
这是书信的主体部分，即写信人要表达的内容。正文要求文字通顺，层次分明，表意清楚。可以手书，也可以打写。
d 结束语(complimentary close)
它是书信结尾的恭维话，相当于文中书信最后的祝好、致礼之类的话语。本课书信中的best wishes(致以最好的祝愿)就是结束语。
e 签名(signature)
签名通常签在结束语下方的中间偏右的位置，如本课信中的charlie。签名应是亲笔书写，即使是打写机打出的信件，最后仍需亲笔签名。在签名的上方可根据写信人和收信人的关系写上sincerely yours/yours sincerely(用于长辈或朋友之间)，或respectfully yours/yours respectfully(用于对长辈或上级)。
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1997年7月30日，英文为：july 30，1997(最为普遍);july 30th，1997;30th july，1997等。1997不可写成97。
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。例如：
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。

Hello Mary,
I’m glad to hear from you. Yes, I sometime have the same problem.
I think if she really needs the money, you’d better lend it to her. You don’t need to worry too much. She’ll probably pay you back when she has money. If you don’t lend her the money, I’m afraid you may lose the friend.
I think everyone may have trouble in life and we should help each other. So when my friends need money, I’ll try my best to help them. Maybe I’ll get it back, or maybe I won’t. I hope what I said can help you.
Yours,
Liu Ming

提示：因餐馆服务员送还钱包致信经理表示感谢。
Dear Mr Manager,
I’m writing to express my thanks to you and your employee Miss Wang, who helped me to find my wallet while I was staying in your hotel.
The other day I was really careless when I was having lunch in the restaurant. I paid the bill and somehow I left my wallet on the table. I had already walked out of the hall when Miss Wang came up with my wallet. And she didn’t even accept a reward.
I’m sure Miss Wang is just one of the Chinese workers who are honest and reliable. Your good qualities are something I’ll always keep in mind. Please send my best wishes to Miss Wang. I can’t thank her too much.
Truly yours,****
2. A Letter of Apology (致歉信)
提示：因暴风雨使铁路中断而未能践约，写信致歉。
Dear Friend,
I know you were angry with me for not keeping my promise. I’m so sorry that something unexpected happened. I did take the right train, and thought I would arrive in time. However, a sudden storm damaged part of the railway, and so the train was late for five hours. When I finally got out of the station, it was almost midnight. I thought it impolite to call you then. I knew you had been expecting me the whole evening, but what could I do?
Anyway it was my fault, because I did not listen to the weather forecast. Otherwise I could have changed the plan. I do apologize, and I hope that I’ll have a chance to make up.
Yours,
*****

Dear Friend,
Thank you for informing me of your new address. It’s really good news that you have moved into such a beautiful area. I’m sure you and your family will enjoy living in the new apartment house. I’ll manage to visit you some day and have a look at your new decoration and furniture.
Yesterday I chanced to be in a curiosity shop where I saw a very beautiful vase. I thought it would be something good for your new house, and so k bought it immediately. I hope you will accept it as a token of my congratulations. I’ll feel delighted if this gift of mine can add to your joy.
Fondly

I know you like music, and I hope you’ll be interested in our tea party. We can listen to the beautiful performance together. Please call me as soon as you have seen the letter, so that I can know when you’ll be able to arrive. I’ll be looking forward to seeing you at the party.

5.A Letter of Complaint (申诉信)
提示：写信给市政局，申述住处附近路面损坏，长期未得修理，影响出行。
Dear Sir,
I am writing to complain about the bad conditions of the side street where I live. It is short pass between highway 23 and the white bridge.
The street is so full of holes that it looks as if it had been used for a hundred years without repair. When it rains, it is simply impossible to walk there. Not long ago both the bridge and the highway were paved again. I am unable to understand why the half-mile stretch between the two should go without attention. I hope you will see to it and put an end to this terrible situation as soon as possible.
Sincerely
****
6.A Letter of Complaint (申诉信)
提示：写信给邻居，要求不要半夜练琴使周围人无法入睡。
Dear Sir,
Your must be clear that we all like your son Tommy very much. However, we notice that recently Tommy practices his piano late at night, sometimes till half past eleven. He used to have his piano lessons in the afternoon, and I don’t know why he has changed his schedule. Now we find it difficult to get to sleep before he finishes playing. As a result, we feel so tired in the daytime that we can hardly do any work efficiently. Do you think you can tell Tommy to start his practice one or two hours earlier so that we can have enough sleep? Sorry if I bring you any trouble.
Your neighbor*****
7.A Letter of Condolence (慰问信)
提示：友人不慎骑自行车被汽车撞到而住院，写信表示慰问。
Dear Friend,
I’m very sorry to know that you were knocked down by a car while riding a bicycle. I hope it is not very serious. Yesterday I called your doctor, who told me what you needed to do was to lie in bed for a couple of weeks and you would be all right. However, I hope you will draw a lesson from this accident and learn to be more careful when you ride a bike later on. Nothing is more important than observing the traffic rules when one is out in the streets. I’ll come to the hospital to see you as soon as I’m back in a few days.
Yours

Do you think it is convenient for me to call at your office at about two o’clock Wednesday afternoon? If you are busy then. It will be all right to change my schedule as my time is quite flexible.

I’m glad that you’re going to China soon. It’s nice of you to ask for my advice. Here it is. When you’re in China, don’t forget to visit Beijing and Hangzhou. I think they are the most beautiful cities in my country. The Great Wall and the West Lake are the most impressive sights of all. Besides, you should taste the different styles of Chinese cooking. It is true you can also eat Chinese food in New York, but the cooking in New York is not half so good as in Shanghai. Don’t forget to have a bite of the typical food when you get to a new place. I’m sure you’ll love it. Hope you have a wonderful time there.
Fondly
