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。
5、结束语(complimentary close)
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)写给家人、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truely yours(yours truely),faithfully yours(yours faithfully)等;
(4)对上级、长辈用yours obediently(obediently yours),yours respectfully(respectfully yours)等。
商务英语书信(Business or Commercial English Correspondence)是指交易时所使用的通信,英语书信格式与称谓的差异。在美国,常用Business writing,它包括书信、电报、电话、电传、报告书、明信片等。英语和美语在书信体例方面存在着一定的差异,比如信头和称呼、书信格式、遣词、结尾客套语等均有所不同。
英国书信保守,美国书信有活力。
英国书信较为保守,许多英国人喜欢用老式书信体,用词较为正式刻板,而美国书信语言非常生气、有活力,格式也较为简便。因此当我们写信的对象是英国或其旧殖民地国家时,要使用标准式英语Queens English;如果写信的对象是美国或美国势力范围的地区时,就要用美国英语。当然,英国式的语言文化近年来也有变化,但总体来说,两者间的差异是很明显的。

I have been good at school. I often think of you when I go to bed because we always go for a walk before go to bed at home. So I miss you everyday.
Do you miss me? Why dont you call me? Ive got a lot of things to tell you.
One of the things is about foreign teachers daughter. Her names Skyler. She lives in Canada. She comes to our class to learn Chinese and English with me in my class.
This afternoon, when it was art and craft class, our class were cleaning the gymnasium. And she did it with us too. So I usually talk to her when she doesn’t know what to do? But when the class is over, I always havent got enough time to talk to her. And I usually cant find her. So we dont have time to introduce to each other. But it is the first time that I have a foreign student. So Im very happy!
Mum, you often tell me, "If you are happy, Ill be happy, too."So you have to be happy, because Im happy! I like you when you are happy!
In the end, I wish you everything is just fine!
Yours,
Sophia.
