第四篇:英文電子郵件格式及
英文電子郵件的基本要素是主題、稱謂、正文、結(jié)尾用語及署名。
電子郵件最重要的部分是主題,假設(shè)我們都是很忙的人,在打開郵箱閱讀郵件時,第一眼看到的就是郵件的主題。所以,主題應(yīng)當(dāng)做到言簡意賅并突出郵件重要性。英文郵件的主題需要注意不超過35個字母,將位于句首的單詞和專有名詞首字母大寫。比如:Some questions about C++.在比較正式的格式中,需要把每個單詞的首字母大寫(介詞、冠詞除外)。
稱謂如果是第一次給對方寫信,那么稱謂最好用“Dear+全名”,這樣會讓人感覺比較正式。如果對方以非正式口吻來信,我們也可以類似非正式地回復(fù)。比如:“Hello/Hi Lillian”。在實際通信中可能遇到不知道對方姓名,可以用“Dear+對方頭銜”,如“Dear President”,或者“Dear+Sir/Madam”形式。英國人習(xí)慣在稱呼后加“,”,美國人習(xí)慣在稱謂后加“:”,有時也可以不加任何標(biāo)點,是具體情況而定。
在書寫正文時,把最重要的事情寫在正文最前面或者郵件內(nèi)容較長時寫在第一段。為了讓收件人閱讀郵件比較舒服,我們需要注意郵件正文結(jié)構(gòu)的美感,郵件段落最好控制在兩三段之內(nèi)。如果一封電子郵件涉及多個信息點,我們可以采用分條目的方法,如符號、小標(biāo)題、編號來使得郵件想要表達的內(nèi)容層次清晰。郵件內(nèi)容應(yīng)注意單詞的拼寫、大小寫、標(biāo)點、語法等。所謂以小見大。
結(jié)尾語在正文之后添加。注意一般結(jié)尾語中只有第一個單詞首字母大寫而剩余單詞都小寫,此處與稱呼不同。一般電子郵件: Sincerely, Sincerely yours, 私人電子郵件: Regards, Best wishes, Best regards, With best wishes, Wish best regards, Yours, Cheers,As ever, With love, Affectionately,......在正文最后需要署名,可以寫全名,也可以只寫名字。需要辨明性別時可以在姓名后面注明(Mr./Ms.)。對于咱們中國人,為了區(qū)分姓和名,可以把我們的姓的字母全部大寫,例如XIONG Lillian.如果寫信人代表的是一個組織或部門,應(yīng)在名字下一行寫上自己的職位、所屬部門。
郵件中常用詞匯:
附件attachment I am attaching the report.我把報告放在了附件中
轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)forwarded I've forwarded your e-mail to Alice.我已經(jīng)將你的郵件轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)給Alice 保持聯(lián)系 stay /keep in touch 對方告知決定.Please let me know your decision as soon as possible.寫信給別人時一般常用How are you been recently? 回復(fù)別人郵件時一般常用I am happy to receive your e-mail.實用郵件舉例: 工作求職
工作求職類的郵件大體分為申請職位、介紹自己、期待回復(fù)、表達謝意幾個部分。i.e.Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to apply for the position of...as posted in your website.Introduce yourself...Please find attached a copy of my resume for your review.我的簡歷請見附件,作為參考。
或者:Please refer to my attached resume for a summary of my skills and experience.I am looking forward to you.Thank you very much for your time and consideration.Yours sincerely, Lillian Xiong 表達謝意
日常生活中經(jīng)常會使用到表達謝意的郵件,在國外,參加完朋友邀請去的一次party,或者接受了別人饋贈的禮物等情況下都需要寫一封thanks letter。而此類郵件也非常好寫,只要能夠表達自己對收件人的真摯的感激之情即可。Dear Alice, Thanks so much for the lovely dinner last night.It was so thoughtful of you.I would like to invite both of you to my house when you are available.Best regards, Lilian 咨詢了解
咨詢了解類郵件的目的是想要得到關(guān)于某人、物的一些信息。郵件具體內(nèi)容大致包含如下:
1)告知對方你是如何得知其信息的,比如報紙、網(wǎng)站等。
2)說明自己想要了解的東西,當(dāng)咨詢信息較多時,最好列舉出來,as 詳細、清晰 as possible.3)末尾用一句話結(jié)束總結(jié)這次咨詢。I am writing to request information about sth.I would like to request a copy of sth.最后表達希望時用語:I look forward to hearing form you soon.期待盡快收到您的回復(fù)。
英文電子郵件格式 Dear Mary, This is Tom.....Look forward to seeing you soon.Best regards, Tom Yu(以上每一行,或者每個段落,都是左對齊的)
一、主題
主題(Subject)框的內(nèi)容應(yīng)簡明地概括信的內(nèi)容,短的可以是一個單詞,如greetings;長的可以是一個名詞性短語,也可以是完整句,但長度一般不超過35個字母。YES:Supplier training NO:professional trainees from sister company should abide by rule of local company(太長)主題框的內(nèi)容切忌含糊不清。
NO:像News about the meeting 這樣的表達,YES:應(yīng)改為Tomorrow's meeting canceled。
一般來說,只要將位于句首的單詞和專有名詞的首字母大寫即可。另外一種較為正規(guī)的格式可將除了少于5個字母的介詞、連接詞或冠詞之外的每一個單詞的首字母大寫。YES:New E-mail Address Notification;Detailed calculation NO:detailed calculation 視信的內(nèi)容是否重要,還可以開頭加上URGENT或者FYI(For Your Information,供參考),如:URGENT:Submit your report today!
二、稱呼
1、E-mail一般使用非正式的文體,因此正文(Body)前的稱呼(Salutation)通常無須使用諸如Dear Mr.John之類的表達。在同輩的親朋好友或同事間可以直呼其名,但對長輩或上級最好使用頭銜加上姓。YES:Tommy,或者Mr.Smith。
2、稱呼和正文之間,段落之間,正文和信尾客套話之間一般空一行,開頭無須空格。如: Jimmy, I received your memo and will discuss it with Eric on Wednesday.Best, David
3、人家的名字千萬不要錯,老一輩的看到名字錯就干脆攆去垃圾桶.同樣, 頭銜都不要錯.頭銜或?qū)W位,任擇其一吧.以下是一樣的: Howard E.Wyatt, Dr.Howard E.Hyatt
4、多過一個男人,用Messrs,就是Misters的意思,不過不要跟名字,跟姓就行啦.YES: Messrs.Smith, Wyatt, and Fury。女人呢? YES:用Mesdames, Mmes., or Mses.同樣不要跟名字.例子: Mses.Farb, Lionel, and Gray。男女一齊呢? 弄清楚稱呼就行.例如: Dr.and Mrs.Harold Wright ;Mr.Harold Wright and Dr.Margaret Wright ;Mr.and Mrs.Harvey Adams-Quinn。
5、有人有自己頭銜就要跟緊,例如有人有榮譽學(xué)位就不喜歡用一般的頭銜,有時大頭不知道對方頭銜,干脆用Ms.算了.Ms.Sarah Gray
6、職銜短可以一行過,長就下一行吧.例如: Ken Green, President /Ken Green /Vice President of International Operations NO:Ken Green /Vice President of Unicom China YES: Ken Green /Vice President, Unicom China
7、老外的名字有時有Jr.或 Sr.,之前的逗點是隨你喜歡的,以下都是正確,不要笑人: YES:Michael J.Smith, Jr./Michael J.Smith Sr.8、用人家的名字總好過人家的頭銜稱呼.如果沒有名字,或者是很正規(guī)信的信件,可以考慮這些: Dear Committee Member: Dear Meeting Planner: Dear Colleagues: To All Sales Reps: To Whom It May Concern: Dear Sir or Madam: Dear Madam or Sir: Dear Purchasing Agent: 如果是全公司:
YES: Gentlemen or Ladies: Ladies or Gentlemen:
9、有時見到人家用冒號就說人家錯,其實也未必啊,看: YES:Dear Mr.Jones:(非常正規(guī))Dear Joan: Dear Jim, Jim,(非正規(guī))
三、結(jié)尾部分
A、書信的結(jié)尾致意要留意,弄清大家的關(guān)系才選擇用詞,例子:
1、Very Formal非常正規(guī)的(例如給政府官員的)Respectfully yours, Yours respectfully,2、Formal正規(guī)的(例如客戶公司之間啦)Very truly yours, Yours very truly, Yours truly,3、Less Formal不太正規(guī)的(例如客戶)Sincerely yours, Yours sincerely, Sincerely, Cordially yours, Yours cordially, Cordially,4、Informal非正規(guī)的(例如朋友,同事之類)Regards, Warm regards, With kindest regards, With my best regards, My best, Give my best to Mary, Fondly, Thanks, See you next week!有時在we, I, and you之間選擇是很煩的事--如果是公司代表聯(lián)絡(luò)生意之類,可以用: We will reimburse you for these legal expenses.Sinopec will reimburse you for these legal expenses.如果單純說你自己,可以用: I found the brochure very informative.有時可以一起用啦...: We are pleased to offer you the position of sales director, and I am looking forward to our Tuesday morning meeting.那么I和you呢?好煩好煩.一般來說,收信人的利益比較重要,名義上都要這樣想.給人尊重的語氣就一般不會錯了.多用you有時會有隔閡的感覺.You will be pleased to learn that you have been selected to serve on our advisory board.Your prompt response will be appreciated.(好像欠你一樣)I am pleased that our board has selected you as the best qualified candidate to serve on our advisory board.I hope you’ll agree to serve.(這就友善多了)Your book was well written and comprehensive.(不用你來判斷我呀~~)I thoroughly enjoyed your book and found an answer to every one of my questions about performance appraisals.(客氣一點,人家受落)總之,語氣和賓詞的運用得當(dāng)能決定你的禮貌程度.B、信尾客套話(Complimentary close)通常也很簡明。常常只須一個詞,如:'Thanks','Best','Cheers',不需要用一般信函中的'Sincerely yours'或'Best regards'。
C、簽名:不要把Mr., Ms., Mrs., Dr.之類一起簽,人家會笑你的...簽名也看信件的語氣.給朋友或公司
客戶,簽Bill也可以,給陌生人就最好用Gates或者Bill Gates啦.郵件范文 1.Dear Mr./Ms,Mr.John Green, our General Manager, will be in Paris from June 2 to 7 and would like to come and see you, say, on June 3 at 2.00 p.m.about the opening of a sample room there.Please let us know if the time is convenient for you.If not, what time you would suggest.Yours faithfully,尊敬的先生/小姐

請告知這個時間對您是否方便。如不方便,請建議具體時間。
您誠摯的
第五篇:英文電子郵件格式
英文電子郵件格式
Dear Mary,This is Tom.....Look forward to seeing you soon.Best regards,Tom Yu
(以上每一行,或者每個段落,都是左對齊的)
例子:
一、主題
主題(Subject)框的內(nèi)容應(yīng)簡明地概括信的內(nèi)容,短的可以是一個單詞,如greetings;長的可以是一個名詞性短語,也可以是完整句,但長度一般不超過35個字母。YES:Supplier training
NO:professional trainees from sister company should abide by rule of local company(太長)
主題框的內(nèi)容切忌含糊不清。
NO:像News about the meeting 這樣的表達,YES:應(yīng)改為Tomorrow's meeting canceled。
一般來說,只要將位于句首的單詞和專有名詞的首字母大寫即可。另外一種較為正規(guī)的格式可將除了少于5個字母的介詞、連接詞或冠詞之外的每一個單詞的首字母大寫。YES:New E-mail Address Notification;Detailed calculation
NO:detailed calculation
視信的內(nèi)容是否重要,還可以開頭加上URGENT或者FYI(For Your Information,供參考),如:URGENT:Submit your report today!
二、稱呼
1、E-mail一般使用非正式的文體,因此正文(Body)前的稱呼(Salutation)通常無須使用諸如Dear Mr.John之類的表達。在同輩的親朋好友或同事間可以直呼其名,但對長輩或上級最好使用頭銜加上姓。YES:Tommy,或者Mr.Smith。
2、稱呼和正文之間,段落之間,正文和信尾客套話之間一般空一行,開頭無須空格。如:Jimmy,I received your memo and will discuss it with Eric on Wednesday.Best,David3、人家的名字千萬不要錯,老一輩的看到名字錯就干脆攆去垃圾桶.同樣, 頭銜都不要錯.頭銜或?qū)W位,任擇其一吧.以下是一樣的: Howard E.Wyatt, Dr.Howard E.Hyatt4、多過一個男人,用Messrs,就是Misters的意思,不過不要跟名字,跟姓就行啦.YES: Messrs.Smith, Wyatt, and Fury。女人呢? YES:用Mesdames, Mmes., or Mses.同樣不要跟名字.例子: Mses.Farb, Lionel, and Gray。男女一齊呢? 弄清楚稱呼就行.例如: Dr.and Mrs.Harold Wright ;Mr.Harold Wright and Dr.Margaret Wright ;Mr.and Mrs.Harvey Adams-Quinn。
5、有人有自己頭銜就要跟緊,例如有人有榮譽學(xué)位就不喜歡用一般的頭銜,有時大頭不知
道對方頭銜,干脆用Ms.算了.Ms.Sarah Gray6、職銜短可以一行過,長就下一行吧.例如:
Ken Green, President /Ken Green /Vice President of International OperationsNO:Ken Green /Vice President of Unicom China
YES: Ken Green /Vice President, Unicom China7、老外的名字有時有Jr.或 Sr.,之前的逗點是隨你喜歡的,以下都是正確,不要笑人:YES:Michael J.Smith, Jr./Michael J.Smith Sr.8、用人家的名字總好過人家的頭銜稱呼.如果沒有名字,或者是很正規(guī)信的信件,可以考慮這些:
Dear Committee Member:
Dear Meeting Planner:
Dear Colleagues: To All Sales Reps:
To Whom It May Concern:
Dear Sir or Madam:
Dear Madam or Sir:
Dear Purchasing Agent:
如果是全公司:
YES: Gentlemen or Ladies: Ladies or Gentlemen:
9、有時見到人家用冒號就說人家錯,其實也未必啊,看:
YES:Dear Mr.Jones:(非常正規(guī))Dear Joan:
Dear Jim, Jim,(非正規(guī))
三、拼寫
1、E-mail的非正式的文體特點并不意味它的撰寫可以馬虎行事,特別是給長輩或上級寫信,或者撰寫業(yè)務(wù)信函更是如此。寫完信后,一定要認(rèn)真檢查有無拼寫、語法和標(biāo)點符號的誤。當(dāng)然Outlook Express等軟件的'拼寫檢查'功能可以助你一臂之力。
2、外國國名盡量用大寫.是為尊重,也方便郵差.3、標(biāo)點要準(zhǔn)確
NO:He did not make repairs, however, he continued to monitor the equipment.YES:He did not make repairs;however, he continued to monitor the equipment.4、大小寫要注意
非必要,不要整個字都是大寫,除非要罵人。
NO:MUST change to OS immediately.外國人就覺得不禮貌和喝令人一樣。YES:要強調(diào)的話,用底線,斜字,粗體就可以了。
四、結(jié)尾部分
A、書信的結(jié)尾致意要留意,弄清大家的關(guān)系才選擇用詞,例子:
1、Very Formal非常正規(guī)的(例如給政府官員的)
Respectfully yours, Yours respectfully,2、Formal正規(guī)的(例如客戶公司之間啦)
Very truly yours, Yours very truly, Yours truly,3、Less Formal不太正規(guī)的(例如客戶)
Sincerely yours, Yours sincerely, Sincerely, Cordially yours, Yours cordially, Cordially,4、Informal非正規(guī)的(例如朋友,同事之類)
Regards, Warm regards, With kindest regards, With my best regards, My best, Give my best to Mary, Fondly, Thanks, See you next week!
有時在we, I, and you之間選擇是很煩的事--如果是公司代表聯(lián)絡(luò)生意之類,可以用: We will reimburse you for these legal expenses.Sinopec will reimburse you for these legal expenses.如果單純說你自己,可以用: I found the brochure very informative.有時可以一起用啦...: We are pleased to offer you the position of sales director, and I am looking forward to our Tuesday morning meeting.那么I和you呢?好煩好煩.一般來說,收信人的利益比較重要,名義上都要這樣想.給人尊重的語氣就一般不會錯了.多用you有時會有隔閡的感覺.You will be pleased to learn that you have been selected to serve on our advisory board.Your prompt response will be appreciated.(好像欠你一樣)
I am pleased that our board has selected you as the best qualified candidate to serve on our advisory board.I hope you’ll agree to serve.(這就友善多了)
Your book was well written and comprehensive.(不用你來判斷我呀~~)
I thoroughly enjoyed your book and found an answer to every one of my questions about performance appraisals.(客氣一點,人家受落)
總之,語氣和賓詞的運用得當(dāng)能決定你的禮貌程度.B、信尾客套話(Complimentary close)通常也很簡明。常常只須一個詞,如:'Thanks','Best','Cheers',不需要用一般信函中的'Sincerely yours'或'Best regards'。
C、簽名:不要把Mr., Ms., Mrs., Dr.之類一起簽,人家會笑你的...簽名也看信件的語氣.給朋友或公司客戶,簽Bill也可以,給陌生人就最好用Gates或者Bill Gates啦.五、其它注意事項:
A、文法
1、切忌主客不分或模糊
例子:Deciding to rescind the earlier estimate, our report was updated to include $40,000 for new equipment.應(yīng)改為:Deciding to rescind our earlier estimate, we have updated our report to include $40,000 for new equipment.(We我們是主語, 不是report。)
2、句子不要凌碎
例子:He decided not to audit the last ten contracts.Because of our previous objections about compliance.應(yīng)該連在一起。
3、結(jié)構(gòu)對稱,令人容易理解。
例子: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and the fact that the contract had been altered with ink markings.應(yīng)改為:The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and ink alterations of the contract.4、單復(fù)數(shù)不要搞亂,不然會好刺眼,看不舒服。
例如:An authorized person must show that they have security clearance.5、動詞主詞要呼應(yīng)。想想這兩個分別:
1)This is one of the public-relations functions that is under budgeted.2)This is one of the public-relations functions, which are under budgeted.6、時態(tài)和語氣不要轉(zhuǎn)變太多??瓷虅?wù)英語已經(jīng)是苦事,不要浪費人家的精力啊。
7、選詞正確
像affect和effect,operative和operational等等就要弄清楚才好用啦。
8、地址上的數(shù)字直接用阿拉伯?dāng)?shù)字吧,除了One,例子:

B、文體
1、可讀性:對象是大學(xué)程度的話,用高中的英文就行,不要以為人人都是語言大師,多用短句(15-20字吧),技術(shù)性的字,就更加要簡單易明.2、注意段落的開頭.一般來說,重要或強調(diào)的事情都放在信件或段落的開頭,而句子就放在最尾.例如:(1).Because he was unable to attend the meeting personally, he forwarded his congratulations on cassette tape.(2).He forwarded his congratulations on cassette tape because he was unable to attend the meeting personally.兩者強調(diào)的事情就有分別了.3、輕重有分,同等重要的用and來連接,較輕放在次要的句子里.4、意思轉(zhuǎn)接詞要留神.例如: but(相反), therefore(結(jié)論), also(增添), for example(闡明).分不清furthermore和moreover就不要用啦.5、句子開頭不要含糊不清的主詞。
例子: These decisions have been a big disappointment to the committee members.They have delayed further action.They是指什么呀?開頭少用this, that, it, they, 或 which.6、修飾詞的位置要小心,例如: He could only reimburse the cost after July 15.應(yīng)為 He could reimburse the cost only after July 15.7、用語要肯定準(zhǔn)確.切忌含糊.例如:The figures show a significant increase.” 怎樣significant呀,改為: The figures show an increase of 19%.8、.立場觀點一致.少用被動語.例如: Partial data should be submitted by April.改為: You should submit partial data by April.就很好了.C.格調(diào)
1、式樣和句子長度不要太單調(diào).千篇一律的subject-verb-object會悶死人的.有時短句跟著長句可以化解一下.2、弱軟的詞(e.g.was, were, is, are...)可以加強一點.例如: Prunton products are highly effective in...改為: Prunton products excel in...就有力很多了.3、親切,口語化是比較受歡迎!用賓詞和主動的詞,讓人家受落.例如:(1).This information will be sincerely appreciated.”
(2).We sincerely appreciate your information.明顯地,我們會喜歡第2句.D、內(nèi)容與附件
E-mail文體的另外一個特點是簡單明了,便于閱讀,太長的內(nèi)容可以以附件的方式發(fā)出。一個段落大多僅由一到三個句子組成。

寫信人簽名
寫信時間
例子:
私人信件通常由五部分組成:
1.信頭:指發(fā)信人的地址和日期。寫在信紙的右上角,可以從靠近信紙的中央寫起。信頭上面要留空白。先寫發(fā)信人地址。地址的寫法與漢語不同,要先寫小地方,后寫大地方。在地址的下面寫上日期。日期的順序是:月、日、年,或者:日、月、年。例如:May 17 2003。在年份之前有一個逗號。
2.稱呼:指對收信人的稱呼。寫在信頭之下,從信紙的左邊開始。寫信給熟悉的人,一般用Dear…或My dear…作稱呼。如:Dear Li Lei,Dear Miss Thomas或My dear Dad.
3.信的正文:指信的主體部分。從稱呼的下一行第一段頂邊寫。從第二段起每段第一個詞都縮進3或5個字母寫。
4.結(jié)束語:指正文下面的結(jié)尾客套話。一般從信紙的中央靠右寫起,第一個字母大寫,末尾用一逗號。在非正式的社交信中,常用Yours或Sincerely。假如對方是親密的朋友,可用Sincerely yoursYours等。
5.簽名:指發(fā)信人簽名。寫在結(jié)束語的下面,稍偏右。
另外,英文信封寫法與漢語的不同。一般把收信人的地址寫在信封的中央或偏右下角。第一行寫姓名,下面寫地址。發(fā)信人的姓名和地址寫在信封的左上角,也可以寫在信的背面。(來源:英語麥當(dāng)勞-英語快餐EnglishCN.com)
英文書信的格式
1、信頭(Heading)
指發(fā)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(yè)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、省、州、郵編、國名;然后再寫日期。標(biāo)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。
2、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。
3、信內(nèi)地址(Inside Address):
在一般的社交信中,信內(nèi)收信人的地址通常省略,但是在公務(wù)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。
4、稱呼(Salutation):
是寫信人對收信人的稱呼用語。位置在信內(nèi)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(guān)系密切的朋友時,用Dear或My dear再加上表示親屬關(guān)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。(來源:EnglishCN英語問答中心[e問e答])
(2)寫給公務(wù)上的信函用Dear Madam,Dear Sir或Gentleman(Gentlemen)。注意:Dear純屬公務(wù)上往來的客氣形式。Gentlemen總是以復(fù)數(shù)形式出現(xiàn),前不加Dear,是Dear Sir的復(fù)數(shù)形式。
(3)寫給收信人的信,也可用頭銜、職位、職稱、學(xué)位等再加姓氏或姓氏和名字。例如:Dear Prof.Tim Scales, Dear Dr.John Smith。
5、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!(你好?。┱挠锌s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(wù)信件大都采用齊頭式的寫法。
