歇业 Discontinuation of business
Dear Mr/Ms,
With the demolition of our premises at the above address under a redevelopment scheme, the part of our business carried on there will be discontinued after the end of October.
On Monday, 1st October, we are holding a closing-out sale. Stock on hand will be cleared regardless of cost. There will be substantial reductions in all departments and
in some cases, prices will be marked down by as much as one half.
Stock to be cleared is unrivaled in both variety and quality. As the sale is likely to be well attended, we hope you make a point of visiting the store as early as possible during the opening days.
Yours faithfully
尊敬的先生/小姐,
随着在经营重组计划下而取消的上述经营场所,该处的业务将于十月底后停止。在十月一日,星期一,我们将组织一次清仓销售,现有库存不论成本都将清售。所有部门都将大幅消价,有的商品折价会达一半。
清仓商品无论种类还是质量都无可挑剔。因此次销售参加人员可能较多,我们希望您在清仓销售期间尽早来。
你诚挚的

确认达成的.协议 Confirming agreements reached
Dear Mr. / Ms,
Last Friday, when we were discussing the problems of defective containers. You suggested that I simply mail you a report each month on the number of return by customers rather than send the defective containers to you.
I plan to put this into effect at once. But, I first want to make sure that I understand you correctly. If I don’t hear from you within the coming week, I’ll assume that you approve.
Yours faithfully
尊敬的先生/小姐

我计划立即付诸现实。但我想确认我理解正确, 到下周为止,如我不能收到你的来信,我即认为 你没有异议。
你诚挚的

一、注意事项
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.应改为 Deciding to rescind our earlier estimate, we have updated our report to include $40,000 for new equipment. (We决定呀, 不是report.)
2.句子不要零碎。
例子: He decided not to audit the last ten contracts. Because of our previous objections about compliance. 两个句子应该连在一起:He decided not to audit the last ten contracts because of our previous objections about compliance.
3.结构对称,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. 应改为: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and ink alterations of the contract.
4.单复数不要搞乱,不然会好刺眼,看着不舒服。
例如: An authorized person must show that they have security clearance. 应改为 Authorized persons must show that they have security clearance.
5.动词和主语要呼应。
想想这两个句子的分别: 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.时态和语气不要转换太多。
看商务英语已经是苦事,不要浪费人家的精力啊。
7.标点要准确。
例如: He did not make repairs, however, he continued to monitor the equipment. 应改为: He did not make repairs; however, he continued to monitor the equipment.
8.选词正确。
像 affect和effect,operative和operational等 等就要弄清楚才好用啦。
9.拼字正确。
有电脑拼字检查功能后,就更加不能偷懒。
10.大小写要注意。
除非 必要不要整个词都大写,除非要骂人。例如: MUST change to OS immediately. 外国人就觉得不礼貌和喝令人一样。要强调的话,用底线,斜字,粗体就可以了。
二、开头
1.If you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to, start business emails with either of the following:
如果你不知道邮件是写给谁的,商务信函可以用下面任意一种方式开头:
2.Dear Sir,/Dear Madam,
尊敬的先生,/尊敬的女士,
3.Dear Madame, is wrong.
“亲爱的夫人”这种写法是错误的
4.If you don’t know whether you’re writing to a man or a woman use:
如果你不知道是写给先生还是女士,可以写:
5.Dear Sir or Madam,
尊敬的先生或女士,
6.It is not usual to start an email To whom it may concern. This should be reserved for letters of reference or similar communications when the recipient is an unknown third party.
以“致相关人士”开头并不常见。这种用法一般用在推荐信或与其相似的交流中,收件人是不了解的第三方。
7.It is always better to use somebody’s name if you know it. If it is the first time you are writing to someone, use either of the following:
如果知道对方姓名,邮件中写上总是好的。如果这是你第一次写信给某人,可以用下面任意一种方式开头:
8.For men: Dear Mr XXXX,
写给男士:尊敬的XXX先生
9.For women: Dear Ms XXXX,
写给女士:尊敬的XXX女士
10.Once you get to know someone, i.e. after exchanging one or two emails or if you meet them in person, it is usually OK to use their first name.
一旦你认识了对方,比如在往来一两封邮件或见过面以后,可以在邮件中称呼名字。
11.Use Dear Sirs, if you are writing to more than one person even if the group of people includes women.
如果你写邮件给两个或以上的人,即使这些人里有女士,请写“尊敬的先生们”
12.Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, is wrong. “Ladies and Gentleman” is only used in formal speech.
"尊敬的女士们先生们”是错误的,这种用法只用在正式演讲中。
13.The word Dear may be omitted in less formal emails. Instead, you may just open with the person’s first name/people’s first names.
“dear”在不是特别正式的邮件中可以省去。你可以直接以对方(个人或群组)的名字开头。
14.Here are some example opening sentences for emails:
下面有一些邮件开头的例句:
15.I hope you are well.
我希望你一切都好。
16.I hope you enjoyed your holiday and are finding it easy to settle back in to work.
我希望你已经好好享受假期并且很快重新投入工作。
17.Thank you very much for your email. I am glad to hear that you and your family are well.
