RSVP, translated into Chinese means please reply.

After receiving an invitation (whether it is an invitation or an invitation letter), you must reply to the other party as soon as possible whether you can attend so that the host can make arrangements. Generally speaking, if there is a note with R.S.V.P. (please reply), you should respond quickly regardless of whether you are present or not.

If it is marked "Regrets only" (please reply if you cannot attend), you will only reply if you are unable to attend, but you should also reply in time. Invitations sent after verbal agreement are usually marked with "To remind" (memo), which only serves as a reminder and does not require a reply. To reply to the other party, you can make a phone call or reply via letter.

How to write an envelope in English

1. Heading (Heading)

Refers to the name of the sender (name of the organization) ), address and date, usually written in the upper right corner of the letter paper. Generally, the name, address, phone number, etc. of the unit or company are printed on the stationery of official or business letters, so you only need to write the date of writing on the right side below the letterhead.

The way to write an English address is completely different from that in Chinese. The address names are in ascending order: the first line is the house number and street name; the second line is the county, city, province, state, zip code, Name the country; then write the date. Punctuation marks are generally not used at the end of each line, but they are still used between each line, such as when writing dates.

The way to write the date, such as July 30, 1997, is: July 30, 1997 (the most common); July 30th, 1997; 30th July, 1997, etc. 1997 cannot be written as 97.

2. Inside Address

In general social letters, the address of the recipient is usually omitted, but this cannot be done in official letters. Write the recipient's name, address, etc. in the left corner below the date on the letterhead. The requirements are the same as on the letterhead. There is no need to write the date.

3. Salutation

It is the address used by the writer to the recipient. The position is one or two lines below the address in the letter, starting from the top box of the line. A comma (British style) is usually used after the title, but a colon (American style) can also be used.

(1) When writing to relatives, relatives and close friends, use Dear or My dear plus a title indicating kinship or a direct name (here refers to the first name, not the surname). For example: My dear father, Dear Tom, etc.

(2) Use Dear Madam, Dear Sir or Gentleman (Gentlemen) when writing official letters. Note: Dear is purely a polite form of communication for official business. Gentlemen always appears in the plural form, without Dear before it, which is the plural form of Dear Sir.

(3) When writing a letter to the recipient, you can also use your title, position, professional title, degree, etc. plus your surname or surname and first name. For example: Dear Prof. Tim Scales, Dear Dr. John Smith

4. Body of the Letter

The salutation is one line below and is the core part of the letter. Therefore, the text is required to be clear-cut, simple and easy to understand. Different from Chinese letters, Hello! (Hello!) is generally not used in the body of the letter.

The body of the letter can be indented or in full. The first letter of the first line of each paragraph is slightly indented to the right, usually five letters, and the second line of each paragraph is written from the top box on the left. This is the indentation style.

However, when Americans write letters, they often do not use indentation for each paragraph, but use a flush style, that is, each line starts from the top box on the left. Most business letters are written in a straight-line style.

5. Complimentary Close

In the first or second line below the text, starting from the middle right of the letter paper, the first word should be capitalized at the beginning, and the end of the sentence should be capitalized. Use commas. Different objects have different ways of writing the conclusion.

(1) When writing to family members and relatives, use Your loving grandfather, Lovingly yours, Lovingly, etc.;

(2) When writing to acquaintances and friends, use Yours cordially, Yours affectionately, etc. ;

(3) Use Truely yours (Yours truly), Faithfully yours (Yours faithfully), etc. when writing business letters;

(4) Use Yours obediently (Obediently yours) to superiors and elders ), Yours respectfully (Respectfully yours), etc.

6. Signature (Signature)

One to two lines below the closing sentence, starting from the middle right of the letter paper, directly below the closing sentence, and below the signed name. Have a typewritten name for easy identification. Positions and professional titles can be placed below the name. Of course, there is no need to type letters to relatives and friends.

7. Postscript (Postscript)

After writing a letter, you suddenly think of something you missed. At this time, use P.S. and just write the missing words. Keep the story short. . Usually on the left side of the lines below the signature at the end of the letter, it should be at the same time as the main text.
