外贸函电课后答案
第一章商务信函写作信息交换在所有的交易中扮演着重要的作用。
许多商业业务通过信息交换来实现。
信息交换可以通过各种方式实现,可以是口头也可以是书面的。
与口头交流相比,书面形式可以确保相关当事人更完整的理解并且可以作为每一笔交易的记录。
书面交流有很多种,比如信函,备忘录,报告,电信,电传等。
商务信函是公司与贸易伙伴保持联络时采用的最主要的方式。
高效的商务信函作者可以通过与其他公司建立良好的合作关系来提高公司的销售,增加公司利润。
另外,熟练的商务信函写作可以帮助作者获得更多自信和更多商业上的成功。
第1节商务信函的布局当写一封商务信函时,你需要遵守一定的标准格式。
通常来说,一封商务信函应该有以下七个主要部分组成:信头,日期,封内名称和地址,称呼,正文,结尾敬辞,签名。
但是根据信件的不同类型,还可能包含以下内容比如,编号,经办人,主题,附件,抄送和附言。
1.主要部分(1) 信头信头通常放在信笺上部中央。
信头包括发信人公司名称,地址,电话号码,电报、电传地址传真号,网址,甚至电子邮件地址等信息。
(2)日期日期放在信头最后一行的下面几行。
注明日期时,需注意以下几点:✧根据作者的风格,日期有许多不同的表示方法,比如:6th April 2009April 6th, 20096 April 2009April 6, 2009前面三种,在月、日和年之间可以用逗号隔开,也可不用。
但是最后一种表示方法,必须用逗号把日和年隔开。
✧不要把日期只用数字形式表示比如7/6/2009,这可能会产生误解。
依美国方式,这表示七月六号,而英国方式则为六月七日。
✧有的月份经常简写,如一月, 二月,八月,九月,十月,十一月,十二月,但是下列月份不能简写,如三月,五月,六月和七月。
(3)信内名称和地址这一部分指收信人的姓名和地址,包括的信息应按以下顺序排列:1)收信人的姓名和头衔2)收信人的公司名称3)公司名称和门牌号,街道名称和号码4)区/镇/市名5)国家/州/省的名称以及邮政编码6)国家名称当写信内名称和地址时,可以参考以下信息:✧为了表示你的礼貌,可以在收信人的名字前面加诸如先生,女士,小姐等尊称。
