你有没有想过,收发E-mail占用了你多少工作时间?留意过的人都知道那是一个不小的百分比,足见E-mail的重要性。写英文邮件是个技术活,首要的任务就是搭起E-mail的"骨架",然后根据具体情况具体加进"血和肉"。
开场白也很有门道:
正规写法,如学校写给Harry Potter,就是Dear Mr. Potter,
熟人写法,如小天狼星写给Harry Potter,就是Dear Harry,
亲密写法,如赫敏写给Harry Potter,就是Hi Harry,
不知名写法,如Harry Potter写给学校,就是To whom it may concern,

如果是发送邮件,直接切入主题:
I am writing to enquire about...
我想问一下......
I am writing in reference to...

为了使正文简洁、有条理,可以用:
连接词如first、second、next、finally
数字如1.2.3.4.
项目符号如●
