Introduction Of Letter 01 Introduction Of Letter Letter is a kind of practical writing , which includes congratulatory letter, application letter, invitation, recommendation etc.

01 Format Of Letter 信头(Letterhead)包括发信人的地址和发信日期。很多人不太注意保留信封，在信内的打上发信人地址就方便收信人回信。如果使用已经印好信头的信纸，就只要打上发信日期。信头位于信的最上方，原则上首先按从小到大的顺序（正好与中文书信相反），门牌号码和街名或单位名占一行（太长可占两行），城镇名和邮政编码占一行，国名占一行。然后是发信日期，它是信头的最后一行，可以写成日月年（英式）也可写成月日年（美式），如：May8，1996或8May，1996. 必然说明的是，月份要写英文名称，否则有可能产生歧义，如5/8/1996，美国人会理解为1996年5 月8 日，而英国人则理解为1996年8 月5 日。

01 Format Of Letter 称呼（Salutation）应与亲近程度相吻合。最为正式的也是最不亲近的称呼为Dear Sir（英国用）或Dear Gentleman （美国用），一般用于给政府机关、官员的公函中，或用于首次往来的商业书信中。比较熟识的人由应称他的姓，最随便也是最亲近的称呼是直呼其名，一般用于亲朋好友，但应注意，称姓时只称姓，不要又称名，而称名时 不要加Dr或Mr. 如某人全名为William.另外，如果对方为女性却不知应称Mrs.还是Miss时可称Ms. 。称呼后面的标点英国人习惯用逗号，而美国人习惯用冒号（亲朋好友之间可用逗号）。

01 Format Of Letter 正文（Main Body）是信的主体，和中文书信的要求一样，正文的内容要主题突出、层次清楚、语言简洁、表达准确。

01 Format Of Letter 结束语（Complimentary Close）是习惯的客套用语，它必须和前面的称呼遥相呼应。如果前面称Dear Sir，则应选择下列结束语：Very sincerely yours ，Very respectfully yours，Very truly yours ，Sincerely yours 或Yours sincerely，Respe-ctfully yours 或Yours respectfully Faithfully yours 或 Yours faith-fully.如果前面称姓，则应选择下列是结束语：Sincerely yours 或Yours sincerely ，Truly yours 或Yours truly ，Yours ever. 如果前面称名，则表示写信人与收信人的关系亲近友好，应选择下列结束语：Sincerely Yours，Love，All my love.

01 Format Of Letter 签名和发信人姓名（Signaturd and Name Addresser）。 签名因为是亲笔手写，可能不好辩认，因此必须还要打印出来。签名只需签姓名，不需加Mr. 或Mrs.，以及学位头衔等，但打印姓名时，因为中文名没有性别之分，所以中文拼音名前就加Mr.或Mrs.，Miss.，Ms.，以便收信人辨认，英文名男性不必加Mr.，但女性要加Mrs.，Miss.，Ms. ，打印名后面可加学位头衔等。
