　一、英文書信

英文書信通常有包括以下幾部分:

1. 信頭(Heading): 指寫信人的地址和寫信日期

信頭的目的是使收信人知道書信來自何處，何時發出。信頭一般位於信函的右上角，包括髮信人的地址和寫信日期。

信頭的地址的寫法要注意英文和中文的不同，英文應遵循“先小後大”的原則，第一行寫門牌號和街道的名稱，第二行寫區、市名、省名、國家名。國家名之前加上郵政編碼。門牌名與街道名之間不用逗號隔開。最後一行寫上發信日期。日期一般有以下幾種寫法：

12th Sept, 2006 12 Sept, 2006 Sept. 12th, 2006

Mr. Zhang Peng

信內地址一般位於信函的左上角，位於信紙的左邊頂格，低於信頭一兩行寫起。

稱呼是寫信人對收信人表示尊敬的敬稱。稱呼從信紙的左端頂格寫起，比信內姓名和地址低一行，。稱呼有多種，視寫信人和收信人的關係而定。每個開頭字母用大寫，結尾用逗號不用冒號。

4.正文(Body):

5.結束語(Complementary Close): 寫信人對收信人的謙稱
