英语应用文写作
英文书信的格式多种多样,但最常利用的有三种:齐头式、缩进式和混合式。缩进式格式每段开头空四个字母,段与段之间不空行;齐头式是每段开头顶格,段与段之间空一行。齐头式的格式从直观上给人层次分明、层次清楚的感觉。尤其是书写本身比较潦草的时候,段落之间的空行会减弱笔迹潦草带来的不整洁的感觉。

Dear Mr. Moore,

My former boss was surprised at my efficiency in dealing with customers’ orders.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to meeting you in the near future.

解析:
第一段要表明写信的用意,说明对招聘的那个职位很感兴趣,同时还要记住一点,在日常生活中求职信后都会附上简历和相关证书的复印件。第一段的前两
句话略加改动即可用于任何一封求职信。范文在主体段落中说明自己的相关工作经验和个性,最终目的都是要说明写信人适合这份工作。需要注意的是在写自己的工作经验时,必然要与应聘的职位相关,不相关的工作经验没有必要提及。第三段提供给收信人自己的联系方式。另外还要写一些客套话,因为这是在求职,若是写信人真的想取得这份工作,就应当像询问信息时一样,对可能取得的那个工作表示一种期待,同时表示对收信人的谢意。

咨询信
在人们的生活中常常会有一些不明白、不清楚而需要询问和咨询的情形,如:入学手续、打工薪水、参加组织、借用设施等。询问信的主要目的是寻求所需的信息。因此,第一要说明写信的目的、介绍背景、询问详情,最后要表示谢意,期盼回答。大体结构是:
1)简述题目场景,表明写作目的,说明写这封信的目的是要寻求什么样的信息。写询问信时,注意礼貌原则,而且只能就收信人能够提供的信息进行询问。
2)询问具体问题。若是某个问题较为重要,能够单独占一个段落。 3)表明获取信息的急切心情,期盼回答,并提供联系方式以便收信人与你联系,对收信人能提供信息表示感激,表现礼貌原则。
