16、样的。请看下面的例子:Interoffice MemoTo:（收信人）From:（发信人）Date:（日期）Subject:（事由）Message:（正又）商务便函一般由以下几个部分组成: MemoMemo是Memorandum缩写,因此也可以用Memorandum,此外还有 Interna 1 Memorandum 和 Interoffice Memorandum,其意思都是样的。 To这标题后面应写收信人的姓名与职衔,姓名前可以用尊称或不 用。如:To： Mr. John Smith, Sales Manager From这标题后应写发信人的姓名与职衔：职衔可根据需要决定写或不 写,但姓名

17、前不要用尊称。如:From: John Smith, General Manager Date日期的写法同书信里日期写法的要求完全一样,不要用数字来表示 月份。 Subject这标题后是写事由的,即用个或几个词汇简单概括便函的内 容,以便查阅。事由必须简洁明了,不要用完整的句子,如:Changes in Travel Advance Form Promotion of Staff Vacation ScheduleParticipation in Training Programmes Message正文常常不需要注明这标题。正文与一般书信有所不同,可长可短,往往使用简短地句子和段 落。有时只

18、有一句话,有时有好几个段落。为了使阅读者一目了然,各段 前还可以写上序号。便函的内容虽然丰富,但它不像商务书信那样讲究措辞,那样注意 开头与结尾的表达,只要意思表示清楚即可。除了上述6个部分,商务便函还可以根据实际需要在末尾增加发信人的 姓名首字母、附件、副本抄送等。SCHOOL 0F ENGLISH FOR BUSINESSMEMORANDUMTo:Mr. Kingswick, Course CoordinatorFrom:Barnsby CampbelDate:19 November, 1995Subject: Lesson Plan for 28 November LectureTo:M
