工作中用到英文郵件的你們,還在苦惱如何標準的書寫嗎?其實寫郵件就像一個漢堡的組成,上下兩塊麵包,當中夾著蔬菜和肉!今天小編就給大家介紹一下實用的「漢堡包式郵件寫法」How to write an email in English?
清晰、簡潔、無誤,是寫英文電郵的關鍵。
Subject line 主題(上層麵包)
Make sure the subject line is simple, specific, but catchy. Remember always that professionals may receive hundreds or more emails per day. The more specific and appealing the subject is, the easier is to connect it with one's personal work.
Salutation 稱謂(第一層蔬菜)
在郵件正文的開頭,一般要加上禮貌稱謂。具體的稱謂用詞,視收件人和你的關係而定。
a. Friends and colleagues
在給朋友或普通同事寫電郵時可以直接用「Hi」開頭,如果你和ta關係不錯,也可以用「Hello」或者「Hello Tom」這種表達來開頭。
b. Writing to a group of people
如果你的收信人不只1個,那麼你可以寫「Dear customers」或者「Dear partners」。如果你的收信人們和你是同一個公司或部門的,可以用「Dear All」,「Dears」,"Dear colleagues",或者說「Hello everyone」。
c. Writing to a group of bosses in your company
給老闆[們]寫電郵,用"Dear Jill", "Dear Jessie" 在Qunar,我們沒有「領導」O(∩_∩)O哈哈~
Main Point 正文(第二層肉肉)
Your first sentence should tell the reader what your email is about. Here are four of the most common reasons for writing an email, along with some sentences you can use to start:
a. Replying to a previous email 答覆別人此前發來的郵件
· Thanks for the information.
· Thanks for your phone call.
· Thanks for getting me the figures.
b. Giving brief up dates 簡單同步事項進展
· Just a quick note to tell you…
· Just a quick note to let you know…
· Just to update you on…
c. Referring to an attachment 提示附件內容
· Take a look at the attached file.
· Have a quick look at the file I've attached about…
· Thought you might find the attached interesting.
Closing 結尾(下層麵包)
在郵件結束之前,再次對收件人表示感謝。比如,你可以用這些表達:
"Thank you for your consideration."
"Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me."
"I look forward to hearing from you."
最後的最後,你還需要在你的名字落款前,加上一個beautiful closing. 也就是文末的客套話啦。具體用哪種英文表達,也視你和收信人的關係而定:
a. Formal正式
· Yours sincerely,
· Yours faithfully,
b. Semi-formal半正式
· Kind regards,
· Regards,
· Best wishes,
c. Informal非正式
· Love from,
· Take care,
· All the best,
