英文信件格式参考

  Friendly Letter:

  Friendly letters, also known as personal letters or bread-and-butter letters, are different from formal letters (e.g. business letters) in format. A friendly letter normally contains 5 parts:

  1)The Heading

  Return Address: it gives the full address of the writer and the date of the letter. It is usually written or typed in the upper right-hand corner of the page.


  Inside Address: The address, which is often omitted in personal letters, gives the name and full addressee.

  2) The Greeting (Salutation): The greeting always ends with a comma. The greeting may be formal, beginning with the word "dear" and using the person's given name or relationship, or it may be informal if appropriate.

  Formal: Dear Uncle Tom, Dear Mr. Lee

  Informal: Hi, Joe! Hello, there! What’s up, Ted!

  In a letters to organizations, or to a person whose name is unknown, the following greetings are used:

  Dear Sir/ Dear Madam

  To whom it may concern

  Dear collegue

  3) The Body: This includes the message you want to write. Normally in a friendly letter, the beginning of paragraphs is indented. If not indented, be sure to skip a space between paragraphs. Skip a line after the greeting and before the close.

  4) The Complimentary Close: This short expression is always a few words on a single line. It ends in a comma. It should be indented to the same column as the heading. Skip one to three spaces (two is usual) for the signature line.Yours Sincerely, Sincerely Yours, Yours Faithfully, Yours Truthfully, Yours Truly

  Yours Cordially, Affectionately, Fondly, Yours with love, With best wishes, Love, Yours, As ever

  5) The Signature Line: Type or print your name. The handwritten signature goes above this line and below the close. The signature line and the handwritten signature are indented to the same column as the close. The signature should be written in blue or black ink. If the letter is quite informal, you may omit the signature line as long as you sign the letter.

  Postscript: If your letter contains a postscript, begin it with P.S. and end it with your initials. Skip a line after the signature line to begin the postscript.
