Unit 4　正文和結(jié)尾The Body and The Ending

1.正文的寫法

書寫正文的基本要求是主題明確、內(nèi)容簡潔明了、語言精練及表述完整。一般來說，在正文開頭直接表達寫信的目的，然后對目的進行具體說明即可。如果是回信，要先將收到對方來信的日期和主題加以綜合說明，并單獨成段，以便對方一目了然。

回信時第一句的示例如下。

Thank you for your email of 29th February regarding the…

With reference to our telephone conversation on Friday，I would like to let you know that…

2.結(jié)尾的寫法

正文結(jié)束后，要另起一段表達歉意、希望或祝愿，或者提出請求。一般以希望合作愉快和希望盡快回復(fù)為結(jié)尾。結(jié)尾的示例如下。

Many apology again for the problem you have experienced.

We hope this will be a good start for a long and profitable business relationship.

We are anticipating your early reply.
