英文电子邮件格式及范文

英文电子邮件的基本要素是主题、称谓、正文、结尾用语及署名。

电子邮件最重要的部分是主题,假设我们都是很忙的人,在打开邮箱阅读邮件时,第一眼看到的就是邮件的主题。所以,主题应当做到言简意赅并突出邮件重要性。英文邮件的主题需要注意不超过35个字母,将位于句首的单词和专有名词首字母大写。比如:Some questions about C++.在比较正式的格式中,需要把每个单词的首字母大写(介词、冠词除外)。

称谓如果是第一次给对方写信,那么称谓最好用“Dear+全名”,这样会让人感觉比较正式。如果对方以非正式口吻来信,我们也可以类似非正式地回复。比如:“Hello/Hi Lillian”。在实际通信中可能遇到不知道对方姓名,可以用“Dear+对方头衔”,如“Dear President”,或者“Dear+Sir/Madam”形式。英国人习惯在称呼后加“,”,美国人习惯在称谓后加“:”,有时也可以不加任何标点,是具体情况而定。

在书写正文时,把最重要的事情写在正文最前面或者邮件内容较长时写在第一段。为了让收件人阅读邮件比较舒服,我们需要注意邮件正文结构的美感,邮件段落最好控制在两三段之内。如果一封电子邮件涉及多个信息点,我们可以采用分条目的方法,如符号、小标题、编号来使得邮件想要表达的内容层次清晰。邮件内容应注意单词的拼写、大小写、标点、语法等。所谓以小见大。

结尾语在正文之后添加。注意一般结尾语中只有第一个单词首字母大写而剩余单词都小写,此处与称呼不同。

一般电子邮件:

Sincerely,

Sincerely yours,

私人电子邮件:

Regards,

Best wishes,

Best regards,

With best wishes,

Wish best regards,

Yours,

Cheers,

As ever,

With love,

Affectionately,

......

在正文最后需要署名,可以写全名,也可以只写名字。需要辨明性别时可以在姓名后面注明(Mr./Ms.)。对于咱们中国人,为了区分姓和名,可以把我们的姓的字母全部大写,例如XIONG Lillian.如果写信人代表的是一个组织或部门,应在名字下一行写上自己的职位、所属部门。

邮件中常用词汇:

附件attachment I am attaching the report.我把报告放在了附件中

转发forwarded I've forwarded your e-mail to Alice.我已经将你的邮件转发给Alice

保持联系 stay /keep in touch

对方告知决定. Please let me know your decision as soon as possible.

写信给别人时一般常用How are you been recently?

回复别人邮件时一般常用I am happy to receive your e-mail.

实用邮件举例:

工作求职

工作求职类的邮件大体分为申请职位、介绍自己、期待回复、表达谢意几个部分。 i.e.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to apply for the position of ...as posted in your website.

Introduce yourself...

Please find attached a copy of my resume for your review.我的简历请见附件,作为参考。

或者:Please refer to my attached resume for a summary of my skills and experience. I am looking forward to you. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Yours sincerely,

Lillian Xiong

表达谢意

日常生活中经常会使用到表达谢意的邮件,在国外,参加完朋友邀请去的一次party,或者接受了别人馈赠的礼物等情况下都需要写一封thanks letter。而此类邮件也非常好写,只要能够表达自己对收件人的真挚的感激之情即可。 Dear Alice,

Thanks so much for the lovely dinner last night. It was so thoughtful of you.I would like to invite both of you to my house when you are available.

Best regards,

Lilian

咨询了解

咨询了解类邮件的目的是想要得到关于某人、物的一些信息。邮件具体内容大致包含如下:

1)告知对方你是如何得知其信息的,比如报纸、网站等。

2)说明自己想要了解的东西,当咨询信息较多时,最好列举出来,as 详细、清晰 as possible.

3)末尾用一句话结束总结这次咨询。

I am writing to request information about sth.

I would like to request a copy of sth.

最后表达希望时用语:I look forward to hearing form you soon.期待尽快收到您的回复。

英文电子邮件格式

Dear Mary,

This is Tom.....

Look forward to seeing you soon.

Best regards,

Tom Yu

(以上每一行,或者每个段落,都是左对齐的)

一、主题

主题(Subject)框的内容应简明地概括信的内容,短的可以是一个单词,如greetings;长的可以是一个名词性短语,也可以是完整句,但长度一般不超过35个字母。

YES:Supplier training

NO:professional trainees from sister company should abide by rule of local company(太长)

主题框的内容切忌含糊不清。

NO:像News about the meeting 这样的表达,

YES:应改为Tomorrow's meeting canceled。

一般来说,只要将位于句首的单词和专有名词的首字母大写即可。另外一种较为正规的格式可将除了少于5个字母的介词、连接词或冠词之外的每一个单词的首字母大写。

YES:New E-mail Address Notification;Detailed calculation

NO:detailed calculation

视信的内容是否重要,还可以开头加上URGENT或者FYI(For Your Information,供参考),如:URGENT:Submit your report today!

二、称呼

1、E-mail一般使用非正式的文体,因此正文(Body)前的称呼(Salutation)通常无须使用诸如Dear Mr. John之类的表达。在同辈的亲朋好友或同事间可以直呼其名,但对长辈或上级最好使用头衔加上姓。YES:Tommy,或者Mr. Smith。

2、称呼和正文之间,段落之间,正文和信尾客套话之间一般空一行,开头无须空格。如: Jimmy,

I received your memo and will discuss it with Eric on Wednesday.

Best,

David

3、人家的名字千万不要错,老一辈的看到名字错就干脆撵去垃圾桶. 同样, 头衔都不要错. 头衔或学位,任择其一吧.以下是一样的: Howard E. Wyatt, Dr. Howard E. Hyatt

4、多过一个男人,用Messrs,就是Misters的意思,不过不要跟名字,跟姓就行啦.

YES: Messrs. Smith, Wyatt, and Fury 。女人呢? YES:用Mesdames, Mmes., or Mses. 同样不要跟名字. 例子: Mses. Farb, Lionel, and Gray 。男女一齐呢? 弄清楚称呼就行.例如: Dr. and Mrs. Harold Wright ;Mr. Harold Wright and Dr. Margaret Wright ;Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Adams-Quinn 。

5、有人有自己头衔就要跟紧,例如有人有荣誉学位就不喜欢用一般的头衔,有时大头不知道对方头衔,干脆用Ms.算了. Ms. Sarah Gray

6、职衔短可以一行过,长就下一行吧.例如:

Ken Green, President /Ken Green /Vice President of International Operations

NO:Ken Green /Vice President of Unicom China

YES: Ken Green /Vice President, Unicom China

7、老外的名字有时有Jr. 或 Sr.,之前的逗点是随你喜欢的,以下都是正确,不要笑人:

YES:Michael J. Smith, Jr. /Michael J. Smith Sr.

8、用人家的名字总好过人家的头衔称呼. 如果没有名字,或者是很正规信的信件,可以考虑这些: Dear Committee Member:

Dear Meeting Planner:

Dear Colleagues: To All Sales Reps:

To Whom It May Concern:

Dear Sir or Madam:

Dear Madam or Sir:

Dear Purchasing Agent:

如果是全公司:

YES: Gentlemen or Ladies: Ladies or Gentlemen:

9、有时见到人家用冒号就说人家错,其实也未必啊,看:

YES:Dear Mr. Jones: (非常正规) Dear Joan:

Dear Jim, Jim, (非正规)

三、结尾部分

A、书信的结尾致意要留意,弄清大家的关系才选择用词,例子:

1、 Very Formal非常正规的(例如给政府官员的)

Respectfully yours, Yours respectfully,

2、 Formal正规的(例如客户公司之间啦)

Very truly yours, Yours very truly, Yours truly,

3、 Less Formal不太正规的(例如客户)

Sincerely yours, Yours sincerely, Sincerely, Cordially yours, Yours cordially, Cordially,

4、Informal非正规的(例如朋友,同事之类)

Regards, Warm regards, With kindest regards, With my best regards, My best, Give my best to Mary, Fondly, Thanks, See you next week!

有时在we, I, and you之间选择是很烦的事-- 如果是公司代表联络生意之类,可以用: We will reimburse you for these legal expenses. Sinopec will reimburse you for these legal expenses. 如果单纯说你自己,可以用: I found the brochure very informative. 有时可以一起用啦...: We are pleased to offer you the position of sales director, and I am looking forward to our Tuesday morning meeting.

那么I和you呢?好烦好烦.一般来说,收信人的利益比较重要,名义上都要这样想.给人尊重的语气就一般不会错了. 多用you有时会有隔阂的感觉.

You will be pleased to learn that you have been selected to serve on our advisory board. Your prompt response will be appreciated. (好像欠你一样)

I am pleased that our board has selected you as the best qualified candidate to serve on our advisory board. I hope you’ll agree to serve. (这就友善多了)

Your book was well written and comprehensive. (不用你来判断我呀~~)

I thoroughly enjoyed your book and found an answer to every one of my questions about performance appraisals. (客气一点,人家受落)

总之,语气和宾词的运用得当能决定你的礼貌程度.

B、信尾客套话(Complimentary close)通常也很简明。常常只须一个词,如:'Thanks','Best','Cheers',不需要用一般信函中的'Sincerely yours'或'Best regards'。

C、签名:不要把Mr., Ms., Mrs., Dr.之类一起签,人家会笑你的... 签名也看信件的语气.给朋友或公司

客户,签Bill也可以,给陌生人就最好用Gates或者Bill Gates啦.

邮件范文

1. Dear Mr./Ms,

Mr. John Green, our General Manager, will be in Paris from June 2 to 7 and would like to come and see you, say, on June 3 at 2.00 p.m. about the opening of a sample room there.Please let us know if the time is convenient for you. If not, what time you would suggest.

Yours faithfully,

尊敬的先生/小姐

我们的总经理约翰格林将于六月2日到7日在巴黎,有关在那开样品房的事宜,他会于六月3日下午2:00点拜访您。

请告知这个时间对您是否方便。如不方便,请建议具体时间。

David

3、人家的名字千万不要错,老一辈的看到名字错就干脆撵去垃圾桶. 同样, 头衔都不要错. 头衔或学位,任择其一吧.以下是一样的: Howard E. Wyatt, Dr. Howard E. Hyatt

4、多过一个男人,用Messrs,就是Misters的意思,不过不要跟名字,跟姓就行啦.

YES: Messrs. Smith, Wyatt, and Fury 。女人呢? YES:用Mesdames, Mmes., or Mses. 同样不

要跟名字. 例子: Mses. Farb, Lionel, and Gray 。男女一齐呢? 弄清楚称呼就行.例如: Dr. and Mrs. Harold Wright ;Mr. Harold Wright and Dr. Margaret Wright ;Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Adams-Quinn 。

5、有人有自己头衔就要跟紧,例如有人有荣誉学位就不喜欢用一般的头衔,有时大头不知道对方头衔,干脆用Ms (代替Miss或Mrs的字,不指明称呼人的婚姻状况).算了. Ms. Sarah Gray

6、职衔短可以一行过,长就下一行吧.例如:

Ken Green, President /Ken Green /Vice President of International Operations

NO:Ken Green /Vice President of Unicom China

YES: Ken Green /Vice President, Unicom China

7、老外的名字有时有Jr. 或 Sr.,之前的逗点是随你喜欢的,以下都是正确,不要笑人: YES:Michael J. Smith, Jr. /Michael J. Smith Sr.

8、用人家的名字总好过人家的头衔称呼. 如果没有名字,或者是很正规信的信件,可以考虑这些:

Dear Colleagues: To All Sales Reps:

To Whom It May Concern:

Dear Sir or Madam:

Dear Madam or Sir:

Dear Purchasing Agent:

如果是全公司:

YES: Gentlemen or Ladies: Ladies or Gentlemen:

9、有时见到人家用冒号就说人家错,其实也未必啊,看:

YES:Dear Mr. Jones: (非常正规) Dear Joan:

Dear Jim, Jim, (非正规)

三、拼写

1、E-mail的非正式的文体特点并不意味它的撰写可以马虎行事,特别是给长辈或上级写信,或者撰写业务信函更是如此。写完信后,一定要认真检查有无拼写、语法和标点符号的错误。当然Outlook Express等软件的'拼写检查'功能可以助你一臂之力。

2、外国国名尽量用大写.是为尊重,也方便邮差.

3、标点要准确

NO:He did not make repairs, however, he continued to monitor the equipment.

YES:He did not make repairs; however, he continued to monitor the equipment.

4、大小写要注意

非必要,不要整个字都是大写,除非要骂人。

NO:MUST change to OS immediately. 外国人就觉得不礼貌和喝令人一样。

YES:要强调的话,用底线,斜字,粗体就可以了。

四、结尾部分

A、书信的结尾致意要留意,弄清大家的关系才选择用词,例子:

1、 Very Formal非常正规的(例如给政府官员的)

Respectfully yours, Yours respectfully,

2、 Formal正规的(例如客户公司之间啦)

Very truly yours, Yours very truly, Yours truly,

3、 Less Formal不太正规的(例如客户)

Sincerely yours, Yours sincerely, Sincerely, Cordially yours, Yours cordially, Cordially,

4、Informal非正规的(例如朋友,同事之类)

Regards, Warm regards, With kindest regards, With my best regards, My best, Give my best to Mary, Fondly, Thanks, See you next week!

有时在we, I, and you之间选择是很烦的事-- 如果是公司代表联络生意之类,可以用: We will reimburse(偿还) you for these legal expenses.

那么I和you呢?好烦好烦.一般来说,收信人的利益比较重要,名义上都要这样想.给人尊重的语气就一般不会错了. 多用you有时会有隔阂的感觉.

You will be pleased to learn that you have been selected to serve on our advisory board. Your prompt response will be appreciated. (好像欠你一样)

I am pleased that our board has selected you as the best qualified candidate(有资格的候选者) to serve on our advisory board. I hope you’ll agree to serve. (这就友善多了)

Your book was well written and comprehensive. (不用你来判断我呀~~)

I thoroughly enjoyed your book and found an answer to every one of my questions about performance appraisals. (客气一点,人家受落)

总之,语气和宾词的运用得当能决定你的礼貌程度.

B、信尾客套话(Complimentary close)通常也很简明。常常只须一个词,如:'Thanks','Best','Cheers',不需要用一般信函中的'Sincerely yours'或'Best regards'。

C、签名:不要把Mr., Ms., Mrs., Dr.之类一起签,人家会笑你的... 签名也看信件的语气.给朋友或公司客户,签Bill也可以,给陌生人就最好用Gates或者Bill Gates啦.

五、其它注意事项:

A、文法

1、切忌主客不分或模糊

例子:Deciding to rescind(取消) the earlier estimate(评估、估价), our report was updated (最新的,校正的,适时的)to include $40,000 for new equipment.

应改为:Deciding to rescind our earlier estimate, we have updated our report to include $40,000 for new equipment. (We我们是主语, 不是report。)

2、句子不要凌碎

例子:He decided not to audit(审计) the last ten contracts(契约、合同). Because of our previous objections about compliance. 应该连在一起。

shipment

n. 船运, 水运

These are articles ready for shipment.

这些是准备装运的货物。

(从海路、陆路或空运的)一批货物

We received two shipments from Chicago.

我们收到从芝加哥运来的两船货物。

3、结构对称,令人容易理解。

例子: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and the fact that the contract had been altered with ink markings.

应改为:The owner questioned the occupant's(居住人) lease(租约) intentions and ink alterations of the contract.

4、单复数不要搞乱,不然会好刺眼,看不舒服。

例如:An authorized(权威认可的) person must show that they have security clearance.

5、动词主词要呼应。想想这两个分别:

1)This is one of the public-relations functions that is under budgeted.

2)This is one of the public-relations functions, which are under budgeted. (在预算中)

6、时态和语气不要转变太多。看商务英语已经是苦事,不要浪费人家的精力啊。

7、选词正确

像affect和effect,operative和operational等等就要弄清楚才好用啦。

8、地址上的数字直接用阿拉伯数字吧,除了One,例子:

127 Ninth Avenue, North

127 E. 15 Street

5 Park Avenue

One Wingren Plaza

556 - 91 Street

B、文体

1、可读性:对象是大学程度的话,用高中的英文就行,不要以为人人都是语言大师,多用短句(15-20字吧), 技术性的字,就更加要简单易明.

2、注意段落的开头.一般来说,重要或强调的事情都放在信件或段落的开头,而句子就放在最尾. 例如: (1).Because he was unable to attend the meeting personally, he forwarded his congratulations on cassette tape.

(2).He forwarded his congratulations on cassette tape because he was unable to attend the meeting personally. 两者强调的事情就有分别了.

3、轻重有分, 同等重要的用and来连接,较轻放在次要的句子里.

4、意思转接词要留神. 例如: but (相反), therefore (结论), also (增添), for example (阐明). 分不清furthermore和moreover就不要用啦.

5、句子开头不要含糊不清的主词。

例子: These decisions have been a big disappointment to the committee members. They have delayed further action. They是指什么呀?开头少用this, that, it, they, 或 which.

6、修饰词的位置要小心,

例如: He could only reimburse the cost after July 15.

应为 He could reimburse the cost only after July 15.

7、用语要肯定准确.切忌含糊.

例如:The figures show a significant increase.” 怎样significant呀,

改为: The figures show an increase of 19%.

8、.立场观点一致. 少用被动语.

例如: Partial data should be submitted by April.

改为: You should submit partial data by April.就很好了.

C. 格调

1、式样和句子长度不要太单调. 千篇一律的subject-verb-object会闷死人的.有时短句跟着长句可以化解一下.

2、弱软的词(e.g. was, were, is, are...)可以加强一点.

例如: Prunton products are highly effective in ...

改为: Prunton products excel(优于、擅长) in ...就有力很多了.

3、亲切,口语化是比较受欢迎! 用宾词和主动的词,让人家受落.

例如: (1). This information will be sincerely appreciated.”

(2). We sincerely appreciate your information. 明显地,我们会喜欢第2句.

D、内容与附件

E-mail文体的另外一个特点是简单明了,便于阅读,太长的内容可以以附件的方式发出。一个段落大多仅由一到三个句子组成。

商务英语电子邮件以其方便快捷,在现代商务活动中起着重要作用。商务往来中的电子邮件代表着公司的形象,显示着公司的水平和实力,直接影响到客户对公司的评估。所以,商务电子邮件的写作在业务往来中占据着举足轻重的地位。据调查,约有88%的互联网用户使用电子邮件,而在商务领域中约有90%的员工通过电子邮件的形式来联系公务。随着全球经济一体化的发展,商务英语电子邮件的写作越来越受到重视,本文将着重探讨商务英语电子邮件写作的格式和应遵循的相关原则。

一、商务英语电子邮件的格式

常见的商务英语电子邮件包括以下五部分:

①写信人Email地址、收信人Email地址、抄送收信人Email地址、密送收信人Email地址。②标题。③称呼、开头、正文、结尾句。④礼貌结束语。⑤写信人全名、写信人职务及所属部门、地址、电话号码、传真等。

其中邮件主题应体现邮件主旨,要引人注目、意思明确,最好为名词或动名词短语;称呼礼貌得体,符合商务英语写作习惯,如不知对方姓名只知头衔,可用 Dear+Title作为称呼,如只知对方姓名不知性别,可用Dear+全名,如邮件为一封通函,则用DearAll作为邮件称呼;正文应结构清楚,便于阅读,如正文内容较长,可使用小标题、小段落,或利用星号、下划线及段落间空行等方式使邮件眉目清楚、一目了然。

二、商务英语电子邮件写作应遵循的五C原则

商务英语电子邮件的正文写作应该遵循五C原则,即Correctness(正确性)、Conciseness(简

洁)、Complete(完整)、Clarity(清晰)和Courtesy(礼貌)原则。

准确原则

由于商务英语电子邮件涉及的是商务活动双方的权利、义务关系,其准确性对商务治理与沟通至关重要。具体而言,不仅电子邮件的英语语法、标点符号和拼写要做到准确无误,电子邮件内容还要叙述准确,以免引起误会纠纷。

简洁原则

简洁原则是商务英语写作最重要的原则,指在不影响完整性和礼貌性的前提下,尽量使用简单句子和简短词语。一封拖沓冗长、措词复杂的电子邮件既浪费写的时间,也会给阅读者带来不必要的麻烦,故商务英语电子邮件应以简明扼要为第一要务。

在具体写作中,商务英语电子邮件呈现出的句法特征是句子结构简单明了,有大量省略句和不完整句。其词汇特征是用语简洁,语言简明扼要。

另外,为了节约时间和空间,电子邮件中可使用缩略语,如U表示you,Pls表示please,Info表示information,Qty表示quantity,P“C表示piece,L“C表示Letter of Credit(信用证),FOB(离岸价格)表示Free on Board。

例1 It is very difficult to sell man hole covers in France.This product must have the quality certificate issued in France.

例2 Price:FOB Shanghai USD 96“PC.

例3 Hope you can accept it.

例1中的两个单句具有明显的因果关系,但写并不使用表达因果关系的连接词如since、because,这种舍长句、复合句,选短句、简单句,喜并列、弃从属的句法特征在商务英语电子邮件写作中十分常见。例2中缩略语的使用,例3中不完整句的选择,反映了与普通商务信函相比,商务电子邮件更倾向于非正式文体,更为口语化。

完整原则

商务电子邮件内容应力求具体、明确、完整,提供读者所需要的信息,尤其像盘、询问贸易条件等需要回函的电子邮件,更需要清楚完整,因为只有包含具体信息的邮件,才能达到良好的沟通效果。邮件是否完整,可以用5W1H来检验,即who,when,where,what,why和how。

清楚原则

商务英语电子邮件的写作要做到层次清楚,用词准确。具体表现在:

例1 We will deliver your goods soon.

例2 中significant一词意为明显的、不小的,语义模糊,故可以用具体数字替换。例2中soon表示不久、很快,语义不明确,没有指出具体的供货时间,可改为具体的年月日。

礼貌原则

商务英语电子邮件应遵循措词婉转、礼貌的原则。鉴于电子邮件直接影响到整个交易的成败,买卖双方应十分注重措辞方式,要婉转、礼貌,使对方轻易接受。在写作电子邮件时,可以通过使用虚拟语气、委婉语气等方法迂回地表达观点,提出要求。

例1 If it is not for the larger orders we receive from a number of our regular customers,we could not have quoted(报价) for supplies even at that price.

例2 I would appreciate it if you could give me your best quotations for 65,000 pieces.

例1中虚拟语气和例2中委婉语气的使用,缓和了商务谈判的语气,既明确了自己的立场,又使对方的面子免于受损,语气自然诚恳,礼貌得体,很轻易为对方接受。

三、结语

随着国际商务活动的不断扩展,商务英语电子邮件的重要性也日益明显。同时,电子商务的普及,往往会让写忽视商务英语电子邮件应有的规范和格式,难免会出现这样或那样的问题。然而准确规范的英文邮件,不仅能反应写信人的英语及业务水平,还可以体现写信人为人处事的态度和风格,有助于建立良好的商务关系,最终对达成贸易起到重要的作用。因此,有必要熟悉商务英文电子邮件应有的规范和格式,遵循邮件的写作原则。

如何提高英文邮件写作能力?

该信息出自应届毕业生求职网YJBYS.COM:

很多人写邮件,习惯查下金山词霸,然后拿写词组和大词去套,或者把简简单单的一个句子写得颠三倒四,掺杂了很多冗余的信息。

如果你们有更好的表达方式,也请发在这里。如果有老外志愿帮助我们进一步改进这封邮件,我也会很感激。

至于提高邮件写作,不是一朝一夕的事情。需要你们去买一些好书不断地模仿和联系,并研究下你们外国客户的邮件。不过还是有几点大家需要注意的:

1.不管你的英文很强还是很烂,千万别搞错数字。有时候你辛辛苦苦写了一封邮件,在遣词造句上花了很多功夫,但是把数额,金额,数量等搞错了。你的邮件就彻头彻尾失败了。

2.在你摁下发送按钮之前,一定要double check一下。发邮件是一件覆水难收的事情。如果你实在没空重新检查一遍,也一定要看看数字是否正确,有些句子的意思有没有弄反了。

3.要记住,不要用大词,不要用那些迂腐的古董般的啰哩啰唆的表达方式。比如please be advised that…Should you required any further clarification please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.

in view of the fact that , it has come to my attention that这样的表达方式并不能让你看起来更醒目。

4.把句子写得短一点,逻辑简单一点,逗号和连词少一点,转折少一点。商务邮件不是一个你炫耀你写长句能力的地方。尽量短一点,如果你没法写短句,想想你是在发电报,多一个就多好多钱的。你可以发电报说:父病重,速回。但是不要说“我们的父亲正躺在我们老家的床上,垂垂危矣,如果你不赶快回家,你就不能见他最后一面了。要记住,邮件就和女人的裙子一样,越短越好。

5. 如果你处于比较弱势的或者被动的地位,或者你觉得自己的英文不够好,请多研究对方的邮件。如果你觉得自己的英文太牛逼了,比那些老外都要好,有时候也要尽量采用对方的表达方式。因为这样他们理解起你来就容易多了。当然,如果对方是英语国家的人,你想要炫耀就随意吧。

6.除非你想要特别强调某一点,尽量不要用大写。很多老外写邮件会通篇用大写,你也可能觉得大写很洋气,其实不是这样的。首先,除非对方是英语国家的人,否则大部分人理解用大写写的邮件是有点困难的,你必须花很多的时间去理解其内容。而且大写让人感觉你在叫嚣。

Dear Brad,

After we receive the sample of Air Release System and instruction you sent to us, we’ve found that it is effective only for steam cooking. However, most of the recipes for PC are related to soup (such as pettitoes, pork ribs, chicken, beef and so on, together with some vegetable, are cooked in lots of water and form soup ) .

Thank you for the sample of Air Release System and the instruction. We find it only works for steam cooking. However, most of the PC recipes are for soups, such as pettitoes, pork ribs/steaks, chicken, etc. which are cooked in a lot of water with some vegetables.

Kelvin suggests that Air Release System can also preserve the vitamins, so maybe we can apply it to our high end products.

Therefore, we expect to understand its effective on preserving vitamin, and how it works to realize this function, in order to have a better understanding on its function, and further to decide whether to introduce it to domestic China.

As Kelvin suggested Air Release System works/worked well at preserving vitamins, and we think it might be a good idea to use it on our high-end products. So we hope to get a better

understanding of how it works on preserving vitamins, and decide whether to introduce it to China or not.
