英文书信格式及范文

一、 英文书信的结构

第一节 英文书信的结构

英文书信一般由以下六部分组成：信头、信内地址、称呼、正文、结尾、签名。

5.1.1 信头（Heading）

信头是指发信人的地址和日期，通常写在第一页的右上角。行首可以齐头写，也可以逐行缩进写。地址的书写顺序由小到大：门牌号、街道、城市、省（州）、邮编、国名，最后写发信日期。私人信件一般只写寄信日期即可。例如：

123 Tianhe Road

Tianhe District

Guangzhou 510620

Guangdong Province

P. R. C.

Jan. 8, 2010

5.1.2 信内地址（Inside Address）

信内地址要写收信人的姓名和地址。在公务信件中要写明这一项，在私人信件中，这一项常常省略。该项写在写信日期下一行的左上角，格式与寄信人地址一样。

5.1.3 称呼（Salutation）

称呼是对收信人的称谓，应与左边线对齐，写在收信人姓名、地址下面1-2行处。在称呼后，英国人常用逗号，美国人则常用冒号。在私人信件中可直呼收信人的名字，但公务信件中一定要写收信人的姓。大部分信件在称呼前加“Dear”。如：

Dear Professor/Prof. Bergen:

Dear Dr. Johnson,

对不相识的人可按性别称呼：

Dear Sir: 或Dear Madam: Dear Ladies。

如果不知收信人的性别则可用Dear Sir or Madam:

5.1.4 正文（Body of Letter）

正文是书信的主体。与中文信件不同的是，英文书信的正文的开头不是先写一些问候语，再阐明写信的目的，而是直接说明写信人的身份及写信的目的，然后提出写信人的情况、想法或要求，并加以必要的解释或说明。英文书信陈述目的时，应该直截了当，意思明确，层次清楚，言简意赅。

书信正文的第一句话或第一段，通常被称为起首语。一般说来，人们习惯用一些客套的写法作为书信正文的起始，即先将对方来信的日期、主题加以简单描述，以便使对方一看便知该信是回答哪一封信的。如果是第一次给别人写信，也可用开头语作必要的自我介绍，并表明自己写信的主要目的。

5.1.5 结尾礼词（Complimentary Close）

公务信件的结尾礼词包含两部分：发信人的结尾套语与署名。结

尾套语写在签名上面一行，第一个字母要大写，套语结尾后面要加逗号。在公务信件中，发信人常用的结尾套语有：

Yours truly, Yours sincerely, Respectfully yours, Cordially yours, Yours cordially等。

私人信件中，发信人常用的结尾套语有：

Sincerely yours, Lovely yours, Your lovely, Your loving son/daughter等。

5.1.6 签名（Signature）

写信人的签名常位于结尾礼词正下方一二行。除非是给很熟悉的人写信，签名一般须写出全名。签名常常较潦草，不易辨认，因此在签名的正下方须打印出全名。

第二节 书信作文的出题形式和写作要领

1990年到2002年1月之间的四级考试作文题中，书信作文共出现两次（2001年6月和2002年1月）。下面，我们先来看看2001年6月四级考试的作文题：

Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a letter. Suppose you are Zhang Ying. Write a letter to Xiao Wang, a schoolmate of yours who is going to visit you during the week-long holiday. You should write at least 120 words according to the suggestion given below in Chinese:

1. 表示欢迎

2. 提出对度假安排的建议

3. 提醒应注意的事项

A Letter to a Schoolmate

June 23, 2001

Dear Xiao Wang,

__________________________________

__________________________________

__________________________________.

Yours,

Zhang Ying

从上面的例子可见，书信作文不仅给出正文部分的内容的提纲，而且还给出书信各部分的结构的框架。也就是说，我们只要考虑如何表达提纲部分的内容，而不用考虑书信的结构。

在写书信作文时，首先要把书信正文的提纲内容细化，扩展成更细的英文提纲，然后用简洁、明了、礼貌、正确和得体的语言表达出细化了的提纲内容。例如前面的那封信就可以列出下面的提纲： Topic: A Letter to a SchoolmateQuestion: What are the holiday arrangements and points for attention?

Outline:

I. Extending my welcome

II. Holiday schedule

1. 1st day – campus

2. 2nd day – the art gallery & music hall

3. 3rd day – mountain climbing4. next 3 days – other places of interest (Swan Cave, Golden Lake ?)

5. Last day – departure

III. Points for attention

1. Train number & time of arrival

2. Sunglasses

IV. Looking forward to seeing you.

2 Conclusion

范文：

A Letter to A Schoolmate

June 23, 2001

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

2) telling the person about your recovery, and

3) expressing your thanks.

You should write with no less than 100 words on Answer Sheet 2. Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use "Li Ming" instead. You do not need to write the address.

SAMPLE WRITING范文：

Dear John,

I am writing to thank you for looking after me after that unfortunate accident the other day, when I was knocked off my bike by a taxi. If it had not been for your assistance in giving me first aid and taking me to a nearby hospital, I fear that the consequences might have been much more serious.

The doctor says that my broken leg is healing well. In addition, the taxi company has agreed to pay my hospital bills. Everyone agrees that it was your quick-witted response in that emergency that has led to this satisfactory outcome.

Although nowadays many people talk about the need to be unselfish and to help others, we see very few people practicing what they preach. But you showed by your actions that you are an exception.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

I am sure you will agree that the only solution for me is to move into a room of my own. Therefore, I would be grateful if you could find a single room for me, preferably not in the same building but as near to the college campus as possible.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

邀请信包括宴会、舞会、晚餐、聚会、婚礼等各种邀请信件，形式上大体分为两种:一种为正规的格式 (formal correspondence)，亦称请柬；一种是非正式格式 (informal correspondence), 即一般的邀请信。邀请信是在形式上不如请柬那样正规，但也是很考究。书写时应注意:

邀请信一定要将邀请的时间（年、月、日、钟点）、地点、场合写清楚，不能使接信人存在任何疑虑。例如:“I’d like you and Bob to come to Luncheon next Friday.”这句话中所指的是哪个星期五并不明确，所以应加上具体日期, “I’d like you and Bob to come to luncheon next Friday, May the fifth.”

1. 邀请朋友共进午餐 Inviting a friend to informal luncheon

Dear [Zhang Ying]:

Will you come to luncheon on [Friday, May the fifth], at [twelve o’clock]?

My niece [Mary] is visiting us and I think you will enjoy meeting her. She is a charming, very pretty girl … and very good company! [John and Jane] will be here, and perhaps we can [give a dance] after luncheon. Do say you’ll come!

Affectionately yours,

Li Ming

2. 邀请朋友同他们不认识的人一起共进晚餐 Inviting friends to supper with the strangers

Dear [Susan]:

I know you are interested in [oil painting], so I’m sure you’ll be interested in [Mr. and Mrs. Lin dun]! They are coming here to supper [next Sunday night, October the twelfth], and we’d like you and [Walter] to come, too.

[Mr. and Mrs. Lin Dun] are that very charming couple we met in [London] last summer. They have a wonderful collection of [oil paintings of various stages]; and I understand that Mr. Lin Dun is quite an authority on [oil painting]. I’m sure you and Walter will thoroughly enjoy and evening in their company.

We’re planning supper at six; that will give us a nice long evening to talk. If I don’t hear from you before then, I’ll be expecting you on the [twelfth]!

Affectionately yours,

Li Ming

3. 邀请参加新厂开工典礼 Invitation to opening ceremony of new factory

Dear [Mr. Harrison]:

Our new factory will be commencing production on [April 10] and we should like to invite [you and your wife] to be present at a celebration to mark the occasion.

As you will appreciate this is an important milestone for this organization, and is the result of continued demand for our products, both at home and overseas. We are inviting all those individuals and trust that you will pay us the compliments of accepting.

Please confirm that you will be able to attend by advising us of your time —— we can arrange for you to be met. All arrangements for your stay [overnight on April 10] will, of course, be made by us at our expense.

Yours faithfully,

4. 邀请来家中小住及周末聚会

5. 邀请参加招待会 An invitation for a reception

6. 邀请演讲 Inviting someone to address a meeting

祝贺信的写作格式可以比照一般书信的格式。即通常有信头、信内地址、称呼、正文、结尾 语、 签名等几个部分组成。但这里需要说明的是根据亲疏关系的不同，有些祝贺信是可以随意一 些的。比如信内地址有时可以省略，而信头也大体可以写的简略一些。除此之外写祝贺信的 时候还应该注意以下一些内容。 写祝贺信要充满热情、喜悦，说些鼓励、褒扬的话，使对方确实感到温暖和振奋。

赞美对方切实做到实事求是，恰如其分，不要故意拔高，甚至献媚，以至无法起到应有的表 示祝贺的目的。 祝贺信要做到整洁、大方，用词要恰当、简练，篇幅不宜太长。写祝贺信时，所用信封和 信纸都要经过认真选择，不能随意对付。

Dear Mr/Ms,

On the occasion of the 35th anniversary of your National

Day, please accept our heartiest congratulations.

May the trade connections between our countries continue

to develop with each passing day!

Yours faithfully

道歉信

1.写作攻略

道歉信主要是向收信人表明歉意，请求对方谅解自己的过失。写道歉信时要明确不是找借口为自己辩护，而是承认自己的过错并提出弥补过错的具体建议和方法。此类信件的关键是用词准确，表达真诚。具体写作步骤：

首段：重述自己做错的事，表示歉意。

主体段落：说明道歉的具体原因，应尽量详细描述做错事的经过。写信时应该注意在申述理由时要照顾读信人的感受，切忌强词夺理。

结尾段：再次表明承认错误的态度，请求收信人的谅解。也可以提出补救的办法。

篇三：最全英语作文书信格式模板范文

书信

书信是人们在日常生活和工作中进行交际的工具。由于民族语言和习惯上的差异，英语信件在书写格式及表达方式上与汉语不大一样，有些地方迥然不同。英文书信分为两大类：公务信件和私人信件。公务信件是单位与单位或单位与个人之间来往的书信，可能是推荐信、求职信、入学申请书、邀请信，或询问、答复、反映意见（如投诉信）等的信件。私人信件是指亲戚朋友之间的通信。这两类书信各有自己的格式。一般说来，私人信件不拘形式，信文多用手写，也可打印；公务信件要求比较严格，必须遵循一定的格式，信文一定要打印。

一般格式

英文书信的构成可分为7个部分：

信头(Heading), 日期(Date), 收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address), 称呼(Salutation), 信文(Body of the letter), 结束语(Complimentary close), 署名(Signature)

信头(Heading)

信头是指发信人的单位名称或地址。一般情况下发信人只需把自己的地址写(打字，手写均可)在信的右上角，离开信纸的顶头约1英寸，占二三行或四行均可，格式如下：

① 齐头式

② 缩进式 私人信件一般只写寄信日期即可。

Example: 123 Tianhe Road

Tianhe District

Guangzhou 510620

Guangdong Province

P. R. C.

Jan. 8, 2010

日期(Date):

① 年份应写全，例如不能用“99”来代替“1999”；

② 月份应写英文名称，除May, July外，可用缩写，如：Sep., Oct.。但不要用数字

来代替，如7／4／99 或7， 4， 99，因为在英国此日期代表 7th April，1999，而美国则代表4th July，1999。

③ 日期可用1，2，3，4…11，12…21，22…31等，也可用lst，2nd，3rd，4th…11th，

21th…22nd…31st等。

日期的几种写法：a．July 7，1998 b．1st October, 1998

c．30 Nov., 1997 d．Sep. 3rd, 1999

④特别注意英文书信日期应紧接着写信人地址下一行，不能像写中文书信那样写在书信签名之后。

收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address)

写信人的地址和日期写好以后，接着就要写收信人的姓名和地址，一般的事务信件或给较生疏的朋友的信件要写，而在给极熟的朋友的信中则可省去。这一项写在日期下一行的左上角。收信人姓名写一行，收信人地址可分两行或三行写，和写信人的地址一样，上下可取齐，也可以向右缩进。在姓名前一般要加上称号，称号因人而异。

①对普通男子用Mr；②对未婚女子用Miss；③对已婚女子用Mrs，对婚姻状况不明确的通常

用Ms(后跟本人姓)；④对男子用Master；⑤对教授或博士(医生)用Prof．或Dr．

称呼(Salutation)

称呼指的是信文开头的那种称呼，如Dear , Mr, Uncle，各种称呼因人而异。称呼直接写在收信人地址的正下方，中间空一至二行。在称呼后面一般是用逗号，但也有用冒号的。现归纳如下：①对父母、兄弟、姐妹等；a．Father, b．My dear Mother, c. Dear Sister, d. Dear Tom,

②对亲戚：a．My dear Auntie, b．Dear Cousin, c．My dear Cousin,

③对朋友、同学a．My dear friend, b．Dear Mr Jackson, c．My dear Mr Jackson, d．Dear Sir,

④对未婚女子：a．Dear Miss Luce, b．My dear Miss Luce,

⑤对一般女子，不论是否结婚：a．Madame, b．Dear Madame,

⑥对已婚女子：a．Dear Mrs Helen Jackson, b．My dear Mrs Helen Jackson,

⑦对公司、工厂、学校等：a．Dear Sirs, b．Sirs, c．Gentlemen,

⑧如果不知收信人的性别

: Dear Sir or Madam

信文(Body of the letter)

信文是信件的主体部分，也就是信的内容。正文应在称呼下两行开始。信的开头第一个字母通常和称呼开头第一个词平齐。也有往后退四个或八个字母的。正文是书信的主体。与中文信件不同的是，英文书信的正文的开头不是先写一些问候语，再阐明写信的目的，而是直接说明写信人的身份及写信的目的，然后提出写信人的情况、想法或要求，并加以必要的解释或说明。英文书信陈述目的时，应该直截了当，意思明确，层次清楚，言简意赅。 书信正文的第一句话或第一段，通常被称为起首语。一般说来，人们习惯用一些客套的写法作为书信正文的起始，即先将对方来信的日期、主题加以简单描述，以便使对方一看便知该信是回答哪一封信的。如果是第一次给别人写信，也可用开头语作必要的自我介绍，并表明自己写信的主要目的。

下面介绍一些开头语和结尾语。

开头语 ①相当于中文的“敬君者”。

a．I beg to inform you that…

b．I beg to take this opportunity to inform you that …

c．I have the honor to address you that…

d． I write in a hurry to inform you that…

e．I have the pleasure to tell you that…

f. I'm very much delighted to inform you that…

②相当于中文的“接读某月某日来信，一切知悉”。

a．I thank you very much for your letter of May 20th …

b．Your letter of May 20th has been received with thanks.

c．It gives me great pleasure to receive your kind of May 20th.

d．In answer to your kind letter of May 20th, I deeply regret that …

e．I have received your kind letter of May 20th.

f．Words can't express my delight on finding your favor of yesterday on my desk this morning.

g．Your letter dated May 20th has been received.

结尾语

采用三种方法：

①采用分词短语：句末用逗号，不用句号。例如：

a．Waiting for your good news,

b．Looking forward to your early reply,

c．Hoping to hear from you soon,

d．Hoping you are enjoying good health,

e．Regretting that I can't give you a more favorite reply,

f．Regretting the trouble I'm causing you,

g．Wishing you every success,

h．Wishing you a pleasant journey,

i．Wishing you a happy New Year,

②采用介词短语，例如：

a．With best regards,

b．With kind regards to your family,

c．With best wishes to you and yours,

d．With best wishes for your success and happiness,

e．With best wishes for your success in your new field of work,

f．With best regards and wishing you all success,

g．With warmest regards,

h．With best regards to you and your family,

i．With the season's greetings,

③采用完整句子：

a．We are waiting for your good news.

b．I hope to receive your early reply.

c．We look forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.

d．I thank you very much for your services, and wish your continued success.

结束语(Complimentary Close)

结尾套语写在签名上面一行，第一个字母要大写，套语结尾后面要加逗号。

结束语的一般写法如下：

① 业务书信常用：Yours faithfully, Faithfully yours, Yours truly, Truly yours, Sincerely yours,

② 公函常用：Yours respectfully, Respectfully yours, Yours sincerely,

③私人书信常用：Sincerely yours, Yours very sincerely, Yours affectionately, Yours ever,

④给亲戚朋友的信常用：Love, All my love, Your(ever)loving son/daughter/cousin , etc. Your affectionate nephew, lovingly, Lovingly yours,

署名(Signature)

写信人的签名常位于结尾礼词正下方一二行。除非是给很熟悉的人写信，签名一般须写出全名。签名常常较潦草，不易辨认，因此在签名的正下方须打印出全名。如果是用打字机或电脑写的信，在写信人签名的上方，同样应该打上写信人的姓名。

下面是署名的例子：

① 个人署名：truly, W. J. Watson ,Yours faithfully,

②公司署名：Legend Computer Company, Wang Lin ,Sales Manager

除以上七个部分外，有时一些英语书信还包括：

（1）附件 (Enclosure)，以Enc. 表示，如“附有。。。。。。证明”应写为Enc…Certificate；

（2）附言(Postscript)，以P.S. 表示；发信人有时在写完信后又想起一件比较重要的事没有说，可以在信末署名下面几行写上， P. S.，然后将要补充的话写上。不过要注意写信时最好将事情一次讲清楚，尽量少用或不用P.S.。

（3）抄送件(Carbon Copy to…)，以c.c. 表示，说明一式多份抄送其他有关人员。这些都是次要的补充部分。

P.S. 主要在私人信件中使用，事务信件中应避免使用，以免造成写信人粗心大意的印象。Enc.和c.c. 大都用在商贸信函中。

信封（envelope）。英语的信封和中文的一样，有三部分组成，即发信人地址、收信人地址和邮票。只不过英语信封的格式除了邮票所贴的位置（信封的右上角）和中文的一样外，英语信封上要写的发信人和收信人的地址和中文的大不一样。发信人的地址应写在信封的左上角，收信人的地址应写在信封偏中右偏下处，如下：

2．书写款式

英语书信的款式一般有两种：齐头式 (Block Style) 和折衷式 (Semi-Block Style)。齐头式常常在商贸、官方以及一些正式的信件中使用，以显示信件内容的严肃性，真实性， 可靠性。而折衷式则显的比较随便，主要用于家人、朋友、私人之间来往的信件。如果两人

之间不是第一次通信，相互比较了解，可以省略信内的双方地址。

以下分别介绍齐头式和折衷式信件两种款式。

A: 齐头式信件款式：

注：用齐头式信件写信，其正文与称呼之间空一至二行。每段的第一句句子不需要空

格，但段与段之间需要空一至二行。齐头式信件的信尾客套话和签名可以有两种款式。第一种写在左下方，这是最常用也是最正式的。另外也可以写在右下方，这种形式则表示写信人与收信人之间的关系比较熟悉随便。下面是另一种齐头式信件的格式。

英文书信格式及范文

一、 英文书信的结构

二、 书信作文的出题形式和写作要领

三、 书信作文练习及其参考范文

书信是重要的交际工具。英文书信分为两大类：公务信件和私人信件。公务信件是单位与单位或单位与个人之间来往的书信，可能是推荐信、求职信、入学申请书、邀请信，或询问、答复、反映意见（如投诉信）等的信件。私人信件是指亲戚朋友之间的通信。这两类书信各有自己的格式。一般说来，私人信件不拘形式，信文多用手写，也可打印；公务信件要求比较严格，必须遵循一定的格式，信文一定要打印。

第一节 英文书信的结构

英文书信一般由以下六部分组成：信头、信内地址、称呼、正文、结尾、签名。

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

在英式时，月和年之间的逗号可用可不用，但是在美式中，必需要使用逗号。

1. 信头的写法有缩进式(Indented Form)和齐头式(Block Form)

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

5.1.3 称呼（Salutation）

称呼是对收信人的称谓，应与左边线对齐，写在收信人姓名、地址下面1-2行处。在称呼后，英国人常用逗号，美国人则常用冒号。在私人信件中可直呼收信人的名字，但公务信件中一定要写收信人的姓。大部分信件在称呼前加“Dear”。如：

Dear Professor/Prof. Bergen:

Dear Dr. Johnson,

对不相识的人可按性别称呼：

Dear Sir: 或Dear Madam: Dear Ladies。

如果不知收信人的性别则可用Dear Sir or Madam:

5.1.4 正文（Body of Letter）

正文是书信的主体。与中文信件不同的是，英文书信的正文的开头不是先写一些问候语，再阐明写信的目的，而是直接说明写信人的身份及写信的目的，然后提出写信人的情况、想法或要求，并加以必要的解释或说明。英文书信陈述目的时，应该直截了当，意思明确，层次清楚，言简意赅。

书信正文的第一句话或第一段，通常被称为起首语。一般说来，人们习惯用一些客套的写法作为书信正文的起始，即先将对方来信的日期、主题加以简单描述，以便使对方一看便知该信是回答哪一封信的。如果是第一次给别人写信，也可用开头语作必要的自我介绍，并表明自己写信的主要目的。

5.1.5 结尾礼词（Complimentary Close）

公务信件的结尾礼词包含两部分：发信人的结尾套语与署名。结尾套语写在签名上面一行，第一个字母要大写，套语结尾后面要加逗号。在公务信件中，发信人常用的结尾套语有：

Yours truly, Yours sincerely, Respectfully yours, Cordially yours, Yours cordially等。

私人信件中，发信人常用的结尾套语有：

Sincerely yours, Lovely yours, Your lovely, Your loving son/daughter等。

5.1.6 签名（Signature）

写信人的签名常位于结尾礼词正下方一二行。除非是给很熟悉的人写信，签名一般须写出全名。签名常常较潦草，不易辨认，因此在签名的正下方须打印出全名。

? 书信写作的五点要求：

1、开门见山说意图

2、咨询/ 建议1、2、3、

3、不同内容可分段

4、感谢客气不可少

5、期待回信成老套

英文信函的信封有两种写法：

第一种是将写信人的姓名及地址和收信人的姓名和地址均写在信封的正面。

第二种写法是将收信人的姓名和地址写在信封的正面， 而将发信人的姓名和地址写在信封的背面。

第一种写法多用于正式信函，第二种写法多用于私人信件，即与家庭成员、亲朋好友之间的信件。商业信件和求职信等都属于正式信函，因此采用第一种写法。

篇五：高中生英语作文(书信格式及范文)

书信格式

一般格式

英文书信的构成可分6个部分： 信头(Heading)

收信人姓名及地址(inside Name and Address) 称呼(Salutation)

信文(Body of the letter)

结束语(Complimentary close )

署名(Signature)

(1) 信头(Heading)

信头是指发信人的单位名称或地址以及日期。一般情况下发信人只需把自己的地址写(打字，手写均可)在信的右上角，离开信纸的顶头约1英寸，占二三行或四行均可，格式如下：

256 West Nanjing Street Nanchang, Jiangxi Province China

Sep. 3rd, 2000

注意：写地址的次序与中文不同，应先写门牌号码街道，然后城市和国名。

写日期注意下列各点：

① 年份应写全，例如不能用“00”来代替“2000”。

② 月份应写英文名称，除May, June, July外，可用缩写，如：Sep., Oct.。但不要用数字来代替，如7/4/00或7, 4, 00，因为在英国此日期代表7th April, 2000，而在美国则代表4th July, 2000。 ③ 日期可用1，2，3，4…11，12…21，22…31等，也可用1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th… 11th, 21st, 22nd, 31st等。

日期的几种写法： a. July 7, 1998

b. 1st October, 1998 c. 30 Nov., 1997 d. Sep. 3rd, 1999

④ 特别注意英文书信日期应紧着写信人地址下一行，不能像写中文书信那样写在书信签名之后，这是很多学生的常见错误。

(2) 收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address) 写信人的地址和日期写好以后，接着就要写收信人的姓名和地址，一般的事务信件或给较生疏的朋友的信件要写，而在给较熟的朋友的信中则可省去。这一项写在日期下一行的左上角。收信人姓名写一行，收信人地址可分两行或三行写，和写信人的地址一样，上下可取齐，也可向右缩进。在姓名前一般要加上称号，称号因人而异。

①对普通男子用Mr.； ②对未婚女子用Miss；

③对已婚女子用Mrs.，对婚姻状况不明确的通常用Ms.(后跟本人姓)； ④对教授或博士(医生)用Prof. 或Dr.

(3) 称呼(Salutation)
