英语写信和写邮件的格式：write a letterwrite a reportwrite an email都是字面翻译。

英文书信通常由下列五个部分组成：A 信头（Heading）信头包括写信人地址和写信日期，通常写在信笺的右上角。

在比较熟识的朋友之间的通信，写信人的地址常可略去。

本课的信头就只写了写信日期，而没有写信人的地址。

日期通常有下列两种定法：（a）月、日、年：如August 15, 200__（b）日、月、年：如15th august, 200__地址的写法通常是由小到大，如：门牌号、街道名、市（县）名、省名、国名（邮政编码通常写在城市名之后）。

这同中文书信的地址写法完全相反。

地址可以写1～3行，日期写在地址的下方（见信笺格式）。

B 称呼（Salutation）称呼指写信人对收信人的称呼，如Dear Xiaojun，写在信头的下方和信笺的左边。

称呼一般用Dear…或My dear…开头，称呼后一般用逗号。

C 正文（Body）这是书信的主体部分，即写信人要表达的内容。

正文要求文字通顺，层次分明，表意清楚。

可以手书，也可以打写。

D 结束语（Complimentary Close）它是书信结尾的恭维话，相当于文中书信最后的“祝好”、“致礼”之类的话语。

本课书信中的“Best wishes”（致以最好的祝愿）就是结束语。

E 签名（Signature）签名通常签在结束语下方的中间偏右的位置，如本课信中的Charlie。

签名应是亲笔书写，即使是打写机打出的信件，最后仍需亲笔签名。

在签名的上方可根据写信人和收信人的关系写上Sincerely yours/Yours sincerely（用于长辈或朋友之间），或Respectfully yours/Yours respectfully（用于对长辈或上级）。
