Dear Helen,

It’s been a few months since I last heard from you. I wonder if you have received the letter and the parcel I sent you last month. The parcel contained several articles you might be interested in. Please let me know whether you have received it or not.

Paul has found a new job in a computer company. We are thinking about moving into a bigger house since

the present one seems a bit too crowded.

Please remember us to all our old friends. Best wishes to all of you.

With love,

Linda 亲爱的海伦：

有好几个月没有收到你的信了。不知道你有没有收到我上个月寄给你的信和包裹。包裹里有几样你也许会感兴趣的东西。请让我知道你有没有收到它。

保罗在一家电脑公司找到了一份新工作。我们正在考虑搬到一栋大一点的房子里去，因为目前住的房子好象太挤了一点。

替我们向所有的老朋友问好。给你们所有人最好的祝福。

爱你的，

琳达

To Department Office

Secretary Glenn

Dear Madam,

I beg to apply for three day’ leave of absence from the 15th to the 17th instant, both days inclusive, in order to return to my hometown to attend my grandpa’funeral, who passed away yesterday.

To support my application, I herewith submit a telegram to that effect sending by my father.

Should be very much obliged if you will grant me my application.

Yours respectfully,

Jack Smith 系办公室秘书格兰女士：

因祖父昨日去世，特请假三日，自本月15日起

至17日止，以便回老家参加葬礼。

现附上父亲发来的电报，以资证明，敬请准假。

此致

敬礼！

To：假条是递给谁的

From：请假人

Date：写假条的日期（注意不是请假的日期）

Subject：写上请假字样

假条抬头范例如下：

To: Peter Stone, Manager

From: Lynn Chen, Financial Department

Date: April 2nd, 2004

Subject: Casual Leave of Absence

其次，在您的请假信第一段，应该开门见山但是有礼貌地提出请假。第一段要中心明确，写清您要请假的日期。

第一段范例如下：

Peter, I would like to know if I could ask for a casual leave of absence for one day on April 4th, this Wednesday.

然后，在假条的第二段，您应该简单明了陈述请假的原因事由。注意叙述清楚明白，并尽可能表示对此带来工作不便的歉意。

第二段范例如下：

This morning I received a telephone call from my dentist, urging me to come to his practice for immediate treatment of my teeth. I have been experiencing a stinging pain, depriving me of my sleep during the past fortnight. The situation could worsen, should infection occur.

Concerning my workload: As Wednesday is not as busy as the other weekdays, I think a one-day leave this Wednesday may be the best solution. I apologize for the inconvenience my absence from work may cause.
