29、ow more about Chinese crosstalk, just e-mail me.Yours,(name)e-mail写作要领 首先，必须要标题（Heading）栏的收件人(To)框中输入收信人的e-mail 地址。 主题(Subject)框的内容应简明地概括信的内容，短的可以是一个单词，如greetings；长的可以是一个名词性短语，也可以是完整句，但长度一般不超过35个字母。主题框的内容切忌含糊不清。像News about the meeting 这样的表达， 应改为Tomorrows meeting canceled。一般来说，只要将位于句首的单词和专有名词的首字母大写即可

30、。另外一种较为正规的格式可将除了少于5个字母的介词、连词或冠词之外的每一个单词的首字母大写，如：New E-mail Address Notification。视信的内容是否重要，还可以开头加上URGENT或者FYI（For Your Information，供参考)， 如：URGENT：Submit your report today!e-mail一般使用非正式文体，因此正文(Body) 前的称呼(Salutation)通常无须用诸如Dear Mr. John之类的表达。在同辈的亲朋好友或同事间可以直呼其名，但对长辈或上级最好使用头衔加上姓。如：Tommy/ Mr. Smith。 e-mail文体的另外一个特点是简单明了，便于阅读，太长的内容可以以附件的方式发出。一个段落大多仅由一到三个句子组成。信尾客套话（Complimentary close）通常也很简明。常常只须一个词，如：Thanks，Best, Cheers，不需要用一般信函中的Sincerely yours或Best regards。称呼和正文之间，段落之间， 正文和信尾客套话之间一般空一行，开头无须空格。 Write an e-mail to your friends to ask
