書信一般可分為事務(wù)信件或公函以及私人信件兩大類。一般包括以下幾個(gè)要點(diǎn)：
1、收信人的姓名和地址；
2、 寄信人的姓名及其與收信人的關(guān)系；
3、寄信人的地址（有時(shí)可以省略）；
4、 寫信的時(shí)間；
5、 信的內(nèi)容。
書信的.格式：
1、 信頭
2、 稱呼
3、 正文
4、 結(jié)束語
5、簽名
書信的種類：
1、 邀請信
邀請信有正式和非正式之分，也有介于兩者之間者。正式邀請信一般屬于公函類，私人邀請信一般屬于非正式文體。邀請朋友、熟人參加某一聚會時(shí)，再詞句上不一定多加斟酌，用詞太正規(guī)倒顯得關(guān)系不密切。但是如果與被邀請人不太熟悉的話，最好用正式文體。如雖認(rèn)識但并不十分了解，文體可介于兩個(gè)者之間。由此可見，私人邀請究竟用什么文體，關(guān)鍵看與被邀請人之間的親疏的程度。邀請信要明確寫出活動（是晚會、晚餐還是一般的聚會等）、活動的時(shí)間地點(diǎn)組織這項(xiàng)活動的理由，有時(shí)還應(yīng)告訴對方可能出席的人，另外一般希望對方給予答復(fù)。
(1) 非正式邀請信，如；
26 Coventry St.
London
Sept. 15th, 1999.
Dear Jack,
I am going to the cinema to see the Red River Valley and I have two tickets. Would you like to come? The film starts at 7:30 p.m. Maybe we can meet at the Covent Garden Station at 7:00 p.m. and have a drink before the film starts. Please phone me at home to let me know.
Looking forward to seeing you.
Love
Mary
這封信是寫給朋友的，所以用語比較隨便，比較口語化。
(2) 正式邀請信，如：
Dear Ms. Gupta;
It’s our great pleasure to announce that Jan. 19th is the 3rd anniversary of the founding of our corporation. We have a small party as follows: 7:00p.m.,Jan. 19th, Room No.123, Kunlun Hotel. At this moment, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to our clients for both courtesy and support over the past three years. Please confirm if you plant to attend.

這是一封正式邀請信，十分正規(guī)，無論從句式，還是用語都十分講究。
(3) 介于正式和非正式之間的邀請信，如：
No.4 Middle School
Beijing 100034
April 29th,2000
Dear Miss Katherine,
I am very pleased to write to you. My name is Yu Hong and I am monitor of Class One, Grade Three of the No.2 Middle School of Ji'nan. Last year, you came here to give a speech, which was "Fast Reading". My classmates and I all thank you very much. We will have an English evening at 7:00--9:00 on the evening of May 4th in our classroom. Would you please come and attend the evening party? At the party, we will sing English songs, play games and so on. And we are anxious to invite you to come to sing us an English song. After that we can enjoy the music. We hope to see you soon.
Yours
Yu Hong
這封信是寫給一位外籍教師的，這位外籍教師曾經(jīng)到過這所學(xué)校，雖然作者認(rèn)識，但并不十分了解。
