在國外,郵件的使用頻率極高,從留學申請到在國外工作與老闆和同事溝通,一封內容清晰、話術準確、格式完整的郵件必不可少。很多同學一開始可能不習慣,也缺少一定的話術積累,所以對著郵件磨磨嘰嘰半個小時也沒發出去。本文將郵件拆解成:主題→稱呼→開場白→正文→結束語→落款6大部分,分別幫大家整理了可用話術和寫作Tips,供參考。
Part 1 主題
【簡潔明確,直奔主旨】
主題(Subject)要點明郵件中心目的,幾個單詞簡要描述,讓收件人一眼知曉意圖即可。

Part 2 稱呼
【注意身份,恰當選擇】
寫郵件之前確認好收信方的稱呼,尤其是給教授/導師/助教/HR/Mentor/Boss發郵件時,注意書寫正確,如果名字都沒寫對會給對方留下非常不好的初印象。

Hello + 同上
Dear + 同上
Hey + 同上:注意,Hey用於非常熟的人,一般較少使用
Good Morning / Afternoon + 同上
To + 同上
