奇文文1314
英文书信的格式如下：
一、称呼：
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。
二、内容：
1、正文：
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。
2、结束语：
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）写给亲人、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Truly yours（Yours truly），Faithfully yours（Yours faithfully）等；
（4）对上级、长辈用Yours obediently（Obediently yours），Yours respectfully（Respectfully yours）等。
三、签名：
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。
1、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。
2、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）。如果附件不止一项，应写成Encl：或Encs。
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。

A Letter For Help
一封求助信
Dear Ralph,
I’m a middle school student. My name is Li Hua. I once had a very happy family, but now everything has changed because of my father. He used to be a very good doctor and was often praised by his patients. He took good care of the family and did housework every day. However, he is now quite a different person. He plays majiang all night and often quarrels with my mother. I just cannot concentrate on my studies and my grades are coming down. I’m very much worried and I’m afraid it will destroy my family as well as my father.
Could you help me and tell me what to do? I’m looking forward to your reply. Thank you very much.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Alice,
How nice to hear from you. You want to know what is going on in schools in China? Now, I will tell you about it.
In the past, exam-oriented education forced us to listen to our teachers while taking notes in class. We did all kinds of exercises without end, though it was 5 o’clock in the afternoon. After supper, we had to continue our exercises far into the night.
Now, quality-oriented education has made our school life colorful. We are active in class. In order to train the ability, we often do research on study. Sometimes one of us teaches ourselves. We have various outside activities, such as singing, dancing, English corner, and taking computer lessons. Basketball and football are our favorite sports. In the evening we can watch news on TV, do experiments by ourselves and have talks and discussions of our subjects.
Please make sure that our school life is getting more and more colorful and interesting.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
Dear Ms. Tancredi:
Last week, my family and I dined at your restaurant while travlling in Singapore. We are alwayslooking to try another new restaurant. We liked the way your place looked, so we went inside tohave dinner.
The place was crowded and the waiters seemed very busy. After a long wait, we were finallyseated. Soon, we ordered the food. We waited an even longer time for the food to arrive.Frustrated, I got the attention of a waiter passing by. I asked what was going on with ourmeals. He went and checked with the chef. It turned out our waiter had forgotten to place yourorder. Rightfully angry, we left the restaurant.
Forgetting a customer's order is a big problem. If that type of thing continues, you are going tolose your customers. Here's a suggestion. Require the waiters to actually write down theorders. In such a busy place, it would be impossible to remember them all.
Sincerely,
Shiwen Cai
[英语书信范文简评]
1. 以上的英语书信范文是由一名曾去新加坡旅游的中国游客蔡诗文(Shiwen Cai)写给新加坡一个餐厅的经理Tancredi女士的一封信件。从英语书信的信头可以看出写信人的准确地址，从下面的署名可以看出写信人的姓名;从上面英语书信范文的信内地址可以看出收信人的姓名和地址。学习者如果想了解英语书信的详细格式，可以参考本站文章：英语书信的格式。
2. 从内容上看，这篇英语书信范文的写作目的非常清晰：给餐厅经理提出服务和管理上的建议。作者以叙述就餐经历为开头逐步引入到写作目的，从餐厅的所见所闻和感受自然地提出餐厅管理上的问题并给予建议。这是比较正式的英语书信中常见的一种写作方法。当然，如果在熟人之间进行书信交流，或者文章篇幅受限较大的情况下，也可以直入主题，在信的开头直接写“I am writing to tell you that...(我写这封信是想告诉你...)”，“This letter is based on your request that...(基于你对...的请求，我给你写了这封信)”等等。
3. 书信有时候是很严肃的，有时候也可能是非常随意的，所以英语书信作为一个使用文体来说格式和风格并不一定是特别的严谨和一成不变，希望学习者能够根据具体情况作出相应的调整。
