私人和公务信函英文书写私人和公务信函--概述书信是日常生活中常用的文体，是用以交涉事宜、传达信息、交流思想、联络感情、增进了解的重要工具。

书信一般可分为商务信件或公函（Business Letter or Official Correspondence）和私人信件（Private Letter）两大类。

值得注意的是，英语书信的写法与汉语书信有一些明显区别，应特别加以区分。

英语书信通常包括下面几个组成部分：信端、信内地址、称呼、正文、结束语、签名、附件、再启等。

下面我们将逐个进行介绍。

1.信端（Heading）信端即信头，一般包括写信人的地址和写信日期。

一些正式信函的信端还包括发信人或单位的电话号码、电报挂号、电传、传真和邮政编码等。

西方国家中有些信端甚至还有单位负责人的姓名、职务和职称等。

信端的目的是使收信人一看便知道书信来自何处，何时发出，便于复信和查阅。

用一般的信纸写信时，信端应写在信纸的右上角，若字数较多，可从信纸中间或偏右的地方写起。

若字数较少，可适当多向右移一些，使整个信端的重心落在右上角。

信端的写法主要有并列式和斜列式两种。

从目前情况来看，前者更为常用。

采用并列式时，每行开头要左对齐；采用斜列式时，每行开头逐次向右移二三个字母的距离。

例如（1）并列式16 Fuxing StreetHaidian DistrictBeijingPost Code: 100035People’s Republic of ChinaTel: 63211234Aug. 20, 2004（2）斜列式（Indented Form）16 Fuxing StreetHaidian DistrictBeijingPost Code: 100035People’s Republic of ChinaTel: 63211234Aug. 20, 2004写信端时，先写发信人的地址，地点的名称按由小到大的顺序排列，然后与其它项目和发信日期。

英语书信作文有哪几类文体In English, there are several types of letter writing formats commonly used for various purposes. These formats serve different functions and follow specific conventions. Here are the main types of letter writing formats:1. Formal Letters: Formal letters are used for official or professional communication. They follow a specific format with a clear structure. Formal letters are typically addressed to someone you don't know well or to whom you want to show respect. They often begin with "DearSir/Madam" or "To Whom It May Concern" and end with "Yours faithfully" or "Yours sincerely," followed by your signature. Examples include job application letters, business letters, letters of complaint, and letters to authorities.2. Informal Letters (Personal Letters): Informalletters are more casual and personal in nature. They are written to friends, family members, or acquaintances withwhom you share a close relationship. Informal letters have a less rigid structure compared to formal letters and often include personal anecdotes, news, and expressions of emotion. They typically begin with "Dear [Name]" and end with phrases like "Best wishes," "Take care," or simply "Love," followed by your name or a nickname.3. Semi-Formal Letters: Semi-formal letters combine elements of both formal and informal letters. They are used in situations where you need to maintain a degree of professionalism while also expressing some personal touch. Semi-formal letters are suitable for communication with colleagues, clients, or individuals with whom you have a professional relationship but are not excessively formal. They strike a balance between the structured format of formal letters and the relaxed tone of informal letters.4. Business Letters: Business letters are a subset of formal letters specifically used for professional correspondence within a business context. They adhere to strict formatting rules and are often used for purposes such as making inquiries, placing orders, confirmingagreements, or conveying information within a business environment. Business letters require a professional tone and precise language to convey the intended message effectively.5. Official Letters: Official letters are similar to formal letters but are specifically used for communication with government agencies, institutions, or organizations. They are used for purposes such as requesting information, submitting documents, or addressing administrative matters. Official letters often follow a standardized format prescribed by the relevant authority and may include specific reference numbers or codes.6. Personal Letters of Recommendation: These areletters written to recommend someone for a job, academic program, or other opportunities. They are usually written in a formal or semi-formal tone, depending on the context, and provide an evaluation of the individual's qualifications, character, and suitability for the position or opportunity.These are the primary types of letter writing formats in English, each serving distinct purposes and requiring specific conventions to be followed for effective communication.。
