開頭、結尾、大寫字母、數字的用法以及縮寫
(一).開頭的寫法和一些技巧:
1.開頭:大多數商務英語寫作的內容也由開頭、中間、結尾三部分組成。常用的開頭句寫法:
① 最好在第一句話中說出你的寫作目的。如:We understand that you are exporters of nuts and should like to know if you can supply us with 5 tons of walnut meat by the end of October.
② 將最能引起讀者興趣的內容放在開頭,如:Im pleased to tell you that your order will be delivered tomorrow.
③ 提及所涉及的商務事項。
2.就開頭的內容方面來講,書信的開頭可以涉及:
⑴書信去函的開頭:詢問、 索價、求購、 投訴、訊息、報憂、道歉、推薦。
⑵復函的開頭可以包括: 函悉 、歉意、謝絕 、服務。
(二)書信結尾的措辭和語氣
1.結尾:寫結尾句需注意以下幾個地方:
1、 結尾句需具體,不要使用含糊、繁瑣的詞語或句式。
2、在結尾處提出行動的要求。
3、 在結尾處做簡要的總結,尤其在內容比較多的情況下。請比較下面兩句話:We hope that we have made the above alternatives clear to you and that they may help you make your choice.
b) To sum up, you can either put your money in a savings bank and receive 6 % annual interest or invest in common stocks for higher returns but also higher risk.
2.就結尾的內容來講,書信的結尾可以包括:
(1)去函的結尾
