(4)信的正文
信的正文是信的主體部分,一般在呼語下面空兩行開始寫,每段的第一行都要空一個字母,正文部分既要內(nèi)容完整,條理清楚,又要注意必要的禮節(jié)。
(5)結(jié)束語和謙稱
在信的結(jié)尾處發(fā)信人對收信人往往使用一種謙稱。這部分寫在正文下面一至兩行處,一般在信紙中間或偏右的地方寫起,首字母要大寫,末尾用“,”。常用謙詞有:
Yours truly, Truly yours, Faithfully yours, Yours faithfully, Respectfully yours, Yours respectfully, Yours lovingly, Yours, Yours ever等。
(6)發(fā)信人簽名
信末的簽名一般低于結(jié)束用語一至兩行,從信紙中間偏右的地方寫起。一般要簽全名,除非是自己十分熟悉或親密的人。有時,還要寫上發(fā)信人的職務(wù)或頭銜。
另外,有時信中還有附件,這時要在信的左下角注明Encl(enclosure)或Enc.,如:
Enc. Drive License附駕駛執(zhí)照
如果在寫完信后,又有需要補充的內(nèi)容,可在左下方寫P. S. (postscript) 。
