章节摘录
3. The Inside Name and Address (封内名称及地址) The preferred position for the recipients name and address is the upper left-hand side of the sheet, three or more line-spacings below the line of the date, depending on the length of the letter. Mr., Mrs., Miss, Ms., and Messrs. are the ordinary courtesy titles used for addressing the recipient. It is the usual practice to type the inside name and address in a blocked paragraph form in alignment with the left-hand margin of the letter. This helps to give the letter a tidy appearance. 4. The Salutation (称呼) The salutation is the complimentary greeting with which the writer opens his letter. The particular form used depends upon the writers relationship with his recipient. To some extent it settles the form of the complimentary close; the two must always match. For ordinary business purposes, Dear Sir (or Dear Madam for both single and married women) is used for addressing a person, and Dear Sirs or Gentlemen (or Mesdames ) for addressing two or more readers when a letter is sent to a firm. The salutation always appears on a line by itself, conventionally three line-spacings below the inside name and address, and followed by a comma for " Dear Sirs" and a colon for "Gentlemen". 5. The Body of the Letter (信文) This is the part that really matters. When writing, pay attention to the following: (a) Write simply, clearly, courteously, grammatically, and to the point. (b) Paragraph correctly, confining each paragraph to one topic. (c) See that your typing is accurate and the display artistic. Aim at attractive and pleasing appearance for your letters. Margins are especially important, since they serve to "frame" your letter. For very short letters you may adopt double line-spacings except for your recipients name and address for which single line-spacing should always be used. 6. The Complimentary Close (结尾敬语) The complimentary close, like the salutation, is purely a matter of convention and a polite way of ending a letter. The expression used must be appropriate to the occasion and be in keeping with the salutation. The following are the usual matches used in modem business letters.
