邀请信包括宴会、舞会、晚餐、聚会、婚礼等各种邀请信件,形式上大体分为两种:一种为正规的格式 (formal correspondence),亦称请柬;一种是非正式格式 (informal correspondence), 即一般的邀请信。邀请信是在形式上不如请柬那样正规,但也是很考究。书写时应注意:
邀请信一定要将邀请的时间(年、月、日、钟点)、地点、场合写清楚,不能使接信人存在任何疑虑。例如:“I’d like you and Bob to come to Luncheon next Friday.”这句话中所指的是哪个星期五并不明确,所以应加上具体日期, “I’d like you and Bob to come to luncheon next Friday, May the fifth.”

祝贺信的写作格式可以比照一般书信的格式。即通常有信头、信内地址、称呼、正文、结尾语、签名等几个部分组成。但这里需要说明的是根据亲疏关系的不同,有些祝贺信是可以随意一些的。比如信内地址有时可以省略,而信头也大体可以写的简略一些。除此之外写祝贺信的时候还应该注意以下一些内容。
写祝贺信要充满热情、喜悦,说些鼓励、褒扬的话,使对方确实感到温暖和振奋。
赞美对方切实做到实事求是,恰如其分,不要故意拔高,甚至献媚,以至无法起到应有的表示祝贺的目的。
祝贺信要做到整洁、大方,用词要恰当、简练,篇幅不宜太长。写祝贺信时,所用信封和信纸都要经过认真选择,不能随意对付。
Dear Mr/Ms,
On the occasion of the 35th anniversary of your National
Day, please accept our heartiest congratulations.
May the trade connections between our countries continue
to develop with each passing day!
Yours faithfully
道歉信
1.写作攻略
道歉信主要是向收信人表明歉意,请求对方谅解自己的过失。写道歉信时要明确不是找借口为自己辩护,而是承认自己的过错并提出弥补过错的具体建议和方法。此类信件的关键是用词准确,表达真诚。具体写作步骤:
首段:重述自己做错的事,表示歉意。
主体段落:说明道歉的具体原因,应尽量详细描述做错事的经过。写信时应该注意在申述理由时要照顾读信人的感受,切忌强词夺理。
结尾段:再次表明承认错误的态度,请求收信人的谅解。也可以提出补救的办法。

范文:
Dear John,
I am writing to thank you for looking after me after that unfortunate accident the other day, when I was knocked off my bike by a taxi. If it had not been for your assistance in giving me first aid and taking me to a nearby hospital, I fear that the consequences might have been much more serious.
The doctor says that my broken leg is healing well. In addition, the taxi company has agreed to pay my hospital bills. Everyone agrees that it was your quick-witted response in that Emergency that has led to this satisfactory outcome.
Although nowadays many people talk about the need to be unselfish and to help others, we see very few people practicing what they preach. But you showed by your actions that you are an exception.
Yours sincerely,

三.投诉信参考范文:
Directions:
You live in a room in college which you share with another student. You find it very difficult to work there because your roommate always has friends visiting. He/She has parties in the room and sometimes borrows your things without asking you.
Write a letter to the Accommodation Officer at the college and:
1) ask for a new room next term,
2) you would prefer a single room,
3) explain your reasons.
Don’t sign your own name at the end of your letter, using“Li Ming”instead.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express/air dissatisfaction/disappointment/concern regarding accommodation. I would prefer to move into a single room next semester, as I find the present sharing arrangement inconvenient.
I must explain that the reason for my dissatisfaction is my roommate’s inconsiderate behavior. For one thing, his friends are constantly visiting him; for another, he regularly holds noisy parties.
To solve this difficulty/surmount this difficulty/improve this situation/crack this hard nut, I hope to draw the attention of the authorities concerned. I am sure you will agree that the only solution for me is to move into a room of my own. Therefore, I would be grateful if you could find a single room for me, preferably not in the same building but as near to the college campus as possible.
