Letter format template:

① Title: Top case, and some can also add certain qualifications and modifiers.

②Greetings: For example, "Hello", "Are you well lately?", etc. can be followed by the main text.

③Text: This is the main body of the letter and can be written in several paragraphs. The title of the salutation and the second half of the congratulation are a sign of respect for the recipient. It is a continuation of the ancient tradition of "heading up" letters.

The letters of the ancients were written vertically, and the text involved the name or title of the recipient. To show respect, no matter where you wrote, the name or title of the other person must be mentioned at the top of the next line. Its basic practices have been absorbed by modern letters.

④Date and time: such as "March 3, 2022".

⑤Signature. The name or first name of the writer should be written on the right side of the blank one to two lines below the congratulation. It is best to write the relationship with the recipient before the name of the writer, such as son ×××, father ×××, your friend ×××, etc. Write the date on the next line.

If you forget to write something, you can leave a blank line under the date, then write "attached" in two blank spaces, and then write down the unfinished things on another line.

Letter has a long history and its format has changed several times. Today, according to popular custom, the letter format mainly includes five parts: title, body, conclusion, signature and date.

English letter format:

1. Letterhead

The letterhead refers to the sender's address and date, but do not write the sender's name. Write the address in the same order as the address on the envelope.

In terms of dates, Americans use the order of "month, day, year" (such as: August 2, 2013), with a comma between the day and the year; while the British use "day, month, year". Year" order, and no commas are used between day, month, and year (for example: 2 August 1982).

2. Title

The recipient’s title is written on the left side of the letter paper, one to two lines below the address in the letter (if there is no address in the letter, push it up to the beginning of the letter) .

Generally speaking, add the idiomatic word Dear before the recipient’s name and honorific, for example: Dear Ms Liu, Dear Professor Chen, etc.

3. Text

This is the main part of the letter. When writing official letters, you should strive to be straight to the point, with concise language, clear levels, and highlighted key points.

When writing letters to relatives and friends, try to be enthusiastic and concise.

4. Conclusion

Like Chinese letters, English letters also need a polite conclusion. The content and format are relatively simple and fixed: the first letter of the conclusion is always capitalized. Use a comma after it.

When writing to strangers or official letters, "Yourself turly", "YoursFaithfully", and "yours sincerely" are often used. In the United States, Yours is often omitted and the word Sincerely is used directly.

If you are writing to your superiors, elders or teachers, you often use "Yours respectfully".

If you are writing to relatives or close friends, you often use "Your loving dad (mon, daughter, son)", "Yours", "Yours ever", "Yours affectionately", etc.

5. Signature

The writer should generally sign at the end of the letter. If you are writing a letter to a stranger, female friends should write "Mrs." or "Miss" in parentheses when signing the letter, so that the other party knows how to address you.
