I believe that some of English majors wanna

7、work for foreign trade companies after graduation. So today I will focus on English business letter format which are very useful. When a business that has letterhead stationery writes an English business letter, the first page of the letter uses paper with the printed letterhead and succeeding pages

8、, if any, use matching quality and color sheets without the letterhead. A business with very good quality printing might generate the letterhead graphic with an image embedded in a word processor document. An individual normally wont use letterhead stationery and wont attempt to fake it. An attempt

9、at letterhead that produces a tacky result or that conveys pompousness produces effects that you want to avoid. In an English business letter, everything that you type should be in the same typeface and in the same size. You should use formal English and you should very carefully check your grammar

10、and spelling. You should arrange things neatly. You should consider the appearance of the letter at arms length as well as close upuse white space to produce an attractive sheet. In a conventional English business letter you should see these parts, in order top to bottom. The first part is return ad

11、dress. This item is the postal address of the author of the letter. Each line of it is left justifiedeither at a tab stop that puts the information toward the right side of the page or the left margin. Normally the return address is at the top of the page, but you can move it down a little to improv

12、e over-all appearance. Do not put e-mail addresses hereif you need to convey an e-mail address, do it in the body of the letter. The second part is the date of the letter. It is aligned with the return address. Formerly there was never white space between the return address and the date, but some cu

13、rrent styles allow blank lines. The third item, inside address, duplicates what goes on the envelope. It has the formal name of the intended recipient of the letter and that persons postal address. Each line of the inside address, is left justified at the left margin. No email addresses appear here.

14、 You can put blank lines between the date and the inside address to fill the page better and to improve the arms length appearance. Next comes the salutation. This item formally addresses the recipient. If the addressee is not a friend, you should write Dear Mr. Brown or Dear Mrs. Smith or Dear Ms.

15、Jones or Dear Mr. Greene or the like. A letter to a close associate might say Dear Mike or Dear Sally. There is at least one line of white space between the inside address and the salutation. You can put a little more to improve the over-all appearance. The fifth part is the core of the letterthe bo

16、dy. The body is single spaced. Ordinarily the body contains more than one paragraph. Avoid both extremely short and very long paragraphs. You can use either indented paragraphs in which the first line is indented more than the rest or block paragraphs in which all lines begin at the left margin. Wit

17、h block paragraphs you must leave extra white space between paragraphsone blank line or one empty paragraph is often used, but you can also use Words extra space before or after paragraph option; the extra space should probably not exceed the size of an empty paragraph. With indented paragraphs, ext

18、ra space between paragraphs is common, but optional. Indented paragraphs should be avoided if the return address was aligned at the left margin. Special effects like bulleted lists and paragraphs whose left and right edges are both indented should be used very sparinglyavoid them as much as you can.

19、 Likewise, consider whether having your paragraphs fully justified, i.e. both left and right edges squared off, will make the letter look too much like a form letter or piece of junk mail. What comes sixth is the closing. This item is something like Yours truly, or Sincerely. It is normally vertical

20、ly aligned with the return address. Next item is typed name of letter author, which is aligned with the return address, date, and closing. Leave enough white space above it for a signature. If you have a job title and this letter is being written as part of that job, it is common to type the job tit

21、le directly below the typed name. An individual writing a letter normally doesnt include a job-title line. Finally, if you are supplying copies to people other than the addressee, it is common to put a cc list at the bottom left of the last pagecc originally stood for carbon copy to. It is assumed t

22、hat you will keep a copy of the letter. When the letter is prepared by a professional typist, it is common for the initials of the typist to be supplied at her bottom. If there are enclosures, that fact is often noted there too. An individual writing a letter usually omits these items. Furthermore,

23、your instructor may have told you not to use a template. Do what your instructor told you. Many of MS-Words templates appear to have been created more to show off weird or fancy effects that Word can do than to produce a well-done product useful to the ordinary user. Some of Words templates encourag
