答：外贸函电的常用格式包括信头（信笺纸上的个人或企业信息）、日期、收件人信息、称呼、正文、结尾语和署名等要素。

信头中应包含发件人的名称、地址、电子邮件和联系电话等信息。

日期应紧接在信头之后，表示函电的发送日期。

收件人信息应包含收件人的姓名、公司名称、地址和电子邮件等详细信息。

称呼应根据收件人的身份和称谓进行准确的称呼，如"尊敬的先生/女士"。

正文是函电的主体内容，要以简洁明确的语言进行书写，表达函电的目的和要求。

结尾语用于表示发件人对收件人的期望和祝愿，例如"敬祝合作愉快"。

边距对于给读者留下好的视觉印象非常重要，边距应该产生好的画面效果，左右边距通常为30毫米，简要的信函的边距可以宽至34毫米。

4.第二页的写法除了销售信以外，商务信函通常只写一页，但是有时信息太复杂也可包含两页或多页。

当你需要写的内容超过一页时，第二页的信头可采用如下形式，内容包括收信人姓名，日期，页码。

比如：(2) -Page 2- The Universal Trading Co. Jan.7, 2009“-to be continued-”（待续）这一短语可以加在第一页页尾的右侧，第二页纸张的质量、尺寸和颜色要与第一页一致。

第2节商务信函的格式和信封的写法有几种可接受的商务信函写作格式，其中三种格式是最常使用的：缩格式、平头式和半平头式（或混合式）。

1. 商务信函的格式(1)缩格式信内名称地址部分每行都比上一行缩进3到5个空格，正文部分每一段的第一行也要缩进3到5个空格。

第二章中Letter-2(1)就是采用这种格式。

(2)平头式在这种形式下，每一行都从左边空白边缘写起，但是有时信头可以放在中间。

段落之间有加一空行。

这种风格更加受欢迎，因为它使信件看起来更加平衡，更容易打字。

第二章中Letter-2(2)就是采用平头式。

(3)半平头式（混合式）它是上述两种风格的混合形式。

信内名称和地址部分用平头式，正文中每一段的第一行用缩格式或者反过来。

第二章中Letter-2(3)就是采用这种混合格式。

2. 信封地址的写法通常来说，发信人的姓名和地址放在信封的左上方，收信人的姓名和地址放在信封中央。

信封上的地址可以用两种形式来写：缩格式和平头式。

内容和风格要与信内名称和地址相一致。

平头式:以下几种情形下，信封地址需要加入特别标记：✧如果信件是通过中间人而不是邮政系统传递给收信人，中间人名字后需加“Kindnessof ”, “By courtesy of”, “By favor of ” or “With favor of ”类似的语句。
