　　Model Composition

　　Dear Mr. Smith:

　　Your letter of Jan. 27 reached me this morning. We were very happy to know that you had readily accepted our invitation and Mrs. Smith would accompany you on this lecture tour. Arrangements will be made for her to work in the Foreign Language Department. To comply with your wish, we are making necessary preparations for you to come at the beginning of March.

　　We will provide you and Mrs. Smith with free housing at our university and free medical service while you are here. In addition, we will pay you 5,000 China Yuan and Mrs. Smith 3000 Yuan per month as salaries to cover your food and daily necessities. We also undertake to bear your traveling and hotel expenses to China and back.

　　Our teachers and graduate students particularly like to hear your views on Power Management and related subjects, but if you prefer to lecture on other topics in the area of power and electricity, they will be equally interested.

　　To provide you with some information about our university and our physics department in which you are to work, we enclose herewith a brochure containing a brief account of both of them and a few photos taken of our campus. Also enclosed is a draft contract. If you agree to the terms contained therein, please sign it and send it back by return mail.

　　My colleagues and myself are looking forward to welcoming you and Mrs. Smith on our campus.

　　Sincerely Yours,

　　Li Ming

　　分析：這是一封邀請外國專家來校講學(xué)的信件，開頭感謝Smith先生答應(yīng)來講學(xué)，并滿足他的一些要求，第二段則詳細(xì)介紹了給予的待遇，第三段對Smith先生講課的內(nèi)容有禮貌委婉地做了限制，最后則提供了本校的詳細(xì)信息，以期待專家盡快做出決定。全文禮貌，熱情，事情介紹清楚明了。

　　實(shí)例 4 寫給報(bào)社專欄的信件

　　Model Composition

　　Health more important

　　Dear editor：

　　Wealth or health? Many would choose the former over the latter. In the past, I too would have chosen wealth, but after last winter vacation, I completely changed my view.

　　“Uncle Tom is suffering from cancer. Let’s go to see him tomorrow.” When my mother told me the bad news, I could hardly believe my ears. Uncle Tom has been a good friend to my father for years and had always been kind to me. In the morning, I often saw him wearing his jacket and doing exercises. He looked so healthy and energetic.

　　I continued to hope that some mistake had been made in his physical examination until I saw him lying in the hospital bed with my own eyes. He was quite different from the dynamic man in my memory.

　　We were aware that he must be bearing great pain, so we tried to comfort him, encouraging him to pull through. He just nodded with tears shining in his eyes. I turned back for fear that I couldn’t keep back my tears.

　　On the way home, I was deep in thought. I asked myself: If money was everything, could it buy health? Of course not. Health is the most important of all.

　　Adam, Los Angels

　　祝賀信、感謝信和慰問信

　　在得知親朋好友畢業(yè)、通過考試、獲得學(xué)位、獲獎、晉升、結(jié)婚、生日慶典等喜訊時(shí)，應(yīng)寫信表示祝賀。祝賀信可長可短，但一定要寫得親切熱烈，表達(dá)出喜悅和興奮的感情。

　　在收到別人的禮物或接受了別人的問候、祝賀、慰問、幫助、款待和推薦之后，應(yīng)寫信表示感謝。感謝信沒有必要寫得太長，但要寫得真誠、熱切。

　　親朋好友或同事、同學(xué)辦事失敗，遭遇不幸時(shí)，我們應(yīng)寫信表示安慰。慰問信要有真情實(shí)感，向?qū)Ψ奖磉_(dá)同情之意，以樂觀向上的語言減輕對方的煩惱與痛苦，并給對方以克服困難，走出困境的信心。

　　在四級英語考試中，這三種類型的信件可以和提綱型作文結(jié)合起來進(jìn)行考查。

　　下面我們通過實(shí)例體會一下三類信件的寫法：

　　實(shí)例1 祝賀信

　　下面是對某公司客戶得到一筆不錯生意的祝賀

　　Model Composition

　　February 15th, 2005

　　Dear Mr. Smith:

　　Congratulations on your firm’s recent selection to design and print media advertisements for the Beijing Municipal Government. We learned of your success at our convention in Shanghai last month.

　　We have long believed that the success of individual franchises is directly linked to the healthy growth of the industry at large. We can think of no better firm to help our industry achieve wide recognition than your company.

　　We have followed your success in promoting other associations such as soft drinks, snack foods and recycling. Your “Dream Vision 2008” ads for the bottling industry were both inspirational and effective in raising consumer awareness, and we look for similar positive responses to this business with the Beijing Municipal Government.

　　Again, accept our warm congratulations on your selection. We look forward to seeing the results of the survey you conducted during our convention.

　　Sincerely yours

　　Leonardo Chen

　　分析：在第一段中，作者說明了祝賀的理由。第二段通過表示對客戶以前工作的了解，使祝賀顯得更具說服力。第三段再次表示祝賀之意。

　　實(shí)例 2 感謝信

　　這是一篇感謝別人送行的信件

　　Model Composition

　　Dear Isabel,

　　It was certainly grand of you and Tom to come and see me off! I know it was not easy for you to get to the airport at such an early hour, so I appreciate it all the more.

　　Flying over water can get dreadfully boring after the first few hours, and your book of love stories came in very handy. It was sweet and thoughtful of you to think of it.

　　The flight was uneventful and we arrived in Beijing on schedule time. Alice and Adam met me at the airport, and went straight to their charming little house. I know I am going to love it here.

　　I will write to you again, Isabel. In the meantime, my thanks to you and Tom for your much kindness to me when I studied in New York, and my love to you both, always!

　　Yours Ever,

　　Li Ming

　　分析：第一段開門見山直接表達(dá)感激之情。第二段通過提前準(zhǔn)備好一本書以打發(fā)旅途無聊時(shí)光這一細(xì)節(jié)，使感激之情更加真摯。第三段講抵達(dá)后的情況，報(bào)平安，以示關(guān)系親近。最后再次表達(dá)謝意。

　　實(shí)例3 慰問信

　　下面是別人在海嘯中受傷后，表示關(guān)切而寫的一封慰問信

　　Model Composition

　　Dear Tom,

　　I am very sorry to learn from the evening paper that a tsunami hit your city this early morning, and I just can not tell you how sorry I was to learn of your injury. Your family tells me that you are progressing nicely, and that you will be out of the hospital in about ten days. I am certainly relieved to know that!

　　In the next day or so you will receive a little package from me. I hope you like it, and that it will help to pass the time more pleasantly.

　　With every good wish for your swift recovery.

　　Sincerely Yours,

　　Li Ming

　　分析：對于遭受自然災(zāi)害受傷的親友，應(yīng)該去信表示慰問，用語盡量中肯貼切。信中不必詢問受傷或事故的前前后后，來龍去脈，應(yīng)表述你聽說友人受傷后的難過心情，以及希望他不久就能痊愈的祝愿。
