最近看了一些大家分享的argue信,催信,甚至各種文書模板,感覺上還是有那么一點點不規范。個人感覺比較地道且正式的應用書信模板應該如下:
郵件名: Application Query/Argument/Request+Applicant Number(直截了當,一目了然)
Dear Sir/Madam/Mr.XXX/Ms XXX(這里不要直呼其名,還是用Title+姓的尊稱形式比較好)
Thank you for your latest notification...(僅限于之前打過交道的,否則忽略此段)
I am writing to ask/argue...(外國人寫信講究開門見山,不要一開始就云里霧里不知所云,浪費他們的寶貴時間) Firstly,...Secondly,...Thirdly,...(羅列理由,這樣讓他們能很快抓住重點,每條理由后面可以拓展,比如Specifically,.../More precisely,...這樣如果他們有興趣詳細了解也能看到)
Thank you for your time.(表達感激就可以了,不用說冒昧打擾的客套話,你要這么一提醒他們潛意識還真就覺得你打擾了)
XXX XXXXXX
Applicant Number: XXXXXXXX!
Email: XXX@XXXXXX.XXX (個人姓名,申請號的相關信息都可以放在最后,如果是放在文中反而容易被忽略)
基本上所有的信件都可以這么套,正式且地道
最后,由于是正式郵件,大家發出去之前一定要反復確認沒有拼寫及語法錯誤。千萬不要出現句子不完整就用句號,或者是句子已經完整卻還是用逗號這種錯誤。
比如

這篇催信,如果讓我來寫就會是如下的樣式
Dear Madam,
I am writing to ask if Admissions Office of University of Strathclyde can take my application into account at first. I am awaiting decision of the international marketing programme for year 2012/3.8 e8 \7 ~8 `: K$ G. d
As far as I know, University of Strathclyde is famous worldwide, especially in the field of marketing-its course modules are outstanding and competitive. Therefore I am looking forward to a place of this programme. However, currently I am faced with a dilemma. Cranfield School of Management has offered me a place of the strategic marketing programme, and required me to decide whether to accept it before 24 Nov. 2011. Hence, I will have to accept this offer in case that University of Strathclyde rejects me if University of Strathclyde is unable to make a decision before the date.
Honestly, I am admiring University of Strathclyde so much. So please consider my suggestion that you progress my application at first.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
Yours sincerely,
XXX XXXXXX
