那么我们就要开始写邮件的正文了。不过写正文就像写作文一样,不太好提供模板死抄。不过,写正文时有几个事项要注意:
1. 日期:
To avoid any confusion with dates, instead of using numbers, write out the full name of the month.
不推荐:3 / 4 / 2021
推荐:March 4th, 2021
2. 表达:
Keep sentences and paragraphs short and simple.
3. 措辞:
Use vocabulary that is straightforward. Simple is always better, and helps prevent misunderstandings.
4. 词汇:
If the person you are writing is not a native English-speaker, avoid using words or expressions that are too technical or complicated.
5. 陈述:
Is the information you are sending accurate? It’s always a good idea to double check.
For example:
Mr. Brown will be travelling by plane to London on Monday, June 5th.
表述完内容之后,你该给邮件结尾了,此时你可以选择用这些句子作为末尾收笔:
“公用”邮件结尾
1. Best - 万事顺意
简短直接,没有太多情感表达,商务中比较偷懒的邮件结尾。
2. Best Regards - 真挚问候
这是最广为使用的商务邮件结尾,如果你不知道该怎么结尾,用这个就行了。
3. Sincerely - 诚挚敬上
适用性广,但因为是教科书的“标准答案”,所以有被滥用的问题。
4. Yours - 鄙人敬上
这种结尾比较私人化,不过也很讲礼貌,同样可用于商务邮件,在互相认识的人之间使用。
“私用”邮件结尾
1. Love
- 真诚的爱
这个结尾富有情感,适合在给爱人、家人及密友之间的私人信件中作为结尾。
2. Cheers!
- 欢欣鼓舞
在朋友和关系较熟的同事之间使用,就像平常打招呼一样轻松随意。
3. Take care
- 保重身体
在朋友之间使用,可以表示对对方的关怀。
4. Thanks / Thank You
- 表示谢意
如果你在信中请求别人做事或帮助你的话,就可以写这个结尾。
至此,一封完整的邮件业已写完。你可以大大方方地点下“发送”按钮把邮件扔出去了……等等,你是不是忘记加附件了呢?如果有附件,你可以说:
Please find the attachment.
XXX is attached. / I’ve attached XXX.
