16、方式。它可以在同事之间、上下级之间、部门与部门之间使用。商务便函的内容通常包括：传达指示、发布通知、任命职务、了解情况、要求合作、汇报工作、提出建议、发表看法、探讨问题或节日安排等。注：凡是与公司外部进行正式的商务联系，必须用正规的商务书信。I I .商务便函的结构与格式一般公司企业往往都印有按照自己公司风格的商业便函。虽然排列格式不一，但基本组成部分是一样的。请看下面的例子：Interoffice MemoT o:（收信人）From:（发信人）Date:（日期）Subject:（事由）Message:（正文）商务便函一般由以下几个部分组成：MemoMemo是Memorandum缩写,因此也可

17、以用Memorandum,此外还有Internal Memorandum 和 Interoffice Memorandum,其意思都是一样的。To这一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这一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这一标题后是写事由的，即用一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

18、了，不要用完整的句子，如：Changes in Travel Advance FormPromotion of StaffVacation ScheduleParticipation in Training Programmes Message正文常常不需要注明这一标题。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。

24、封便函中讨论几个不通的话题。用数码标明段落。层次、问题或用表格等形式有助于那人的清晰明了。常常在一开头将写作目的和盘托出，中间就开头提及的事情进行详细阐述，结尾往往提出要求或征求意见。IV.商务便函分类范例1.告知信息类tell/notify/ment ion/express/inform/explain/note/report/adviseI am wr i ting to t e l 1/inform you that.I am writing to e x p l a i n.(t e l l your boss why you cannot attend)I am writing to

34、sterday.As acalculator i s essential to my daily work,could you kindlyapprove this request?第四讲商务便条I.商务便条的内容与特点商务便条则是一种最简易的非正式的书面联系形式，其内容多是当天或近日内要办的事。便条的形式简单，所用语言更加口语化，往往寥寥数语，直接告知对方某件事情或要求对方做什么。商务便条多用于同事之间，语气没有商务便函正式。通常在无法当面通知或电话联系的情况下使用。常见内容有：临时通知、请求、询问。留言、转述电话留言等。II.商务便函的结构与格式商务便条一般有四个组成部分：日期、称呼、正文

35、、签名。一些公司有印好的便条笺。如：MessageTo:Date:_Message:商务便条的称呼比较随便，可直呼其名，如：Mary,Tom,也不用结尾敬语。但在较为正式的场合，如写请假条给上司，最好用敬语，如：Dear Mr.Smitho签名写在右下方，只写名字，不写信，有时也用姓名缩写。商务便条的格式不规范，那人尽可能简单。一段话或一句话，甚至不用完整的句子，只要把意思表达清楚就可以了。便条的文字通俗而口语化。一般可省去“I”的自称和系动词。例1：请假ThursdayTo:Mr.SlaterI am sorry to tell you that I won t be able to go

36、to the officetoday due to a sudden dizziness.So I have to ask for a day5 ssick leave.Susan Dulles例2:让秘书通知推迟约会9 a.m.Miss W ang,Ive got anurgentmeeting today.Please contact theapplicants to postpone the interviews till further notice.D S例3:安排工作To:M r.RichardsonMessage:Please send a letter to Naves Lim

37、on in C.R.Find out:Are they satisfies with the order?Can we provide any after-sales advice?Encourage repeat order.H I.商务便条写作的基本要求倾向于用非正式的、口语化的语言。但给上级的便函语言要正规些。内容可长可短，但必须紧扣主题，切忌在一封便函中讨论几个不通的话题。用数码标明段落。层次、问题或用表格等形式有助于那人的清晰明了。常常在一开头将写作目的和盘托出，中间就开头提及的事情进行详细阐述，结尾往往提出要求或征求意见。I V.商务便条范例例题：You would 1 ike t

45、函的主旨。事由写在称呼的下一行、正文上方的中间位置。一般不超过一行。第一个词和关键词的首字母要大写。前面可以冠以“Subject”或Re(wi th reference t o)的缩写。例：Subj.:Cancel lat ion of the Order(No.205)9.附 件(Enclosure)商务信函后常附有其它文件，如产品目录、价目表、订单、发票等，这就需要在信笺的左下角，签名下方二至三行处注明Enc.或Enc.。若附件不止一个，用Encs.或Encls.。10.抄 送(Carbon Copy)如果写信人需要将该信交给收信人之外的其他相关个人或部门，可以在附件下方写上C.C.字样，

46、然后再写抄送个人或部门的名称。例：C.C.George AlexanderC.C.Af ter-sales Service Dept.11.附 言(Postscript)附言的使用要慎重。它是用来强调信中谈及的要点，或补充说明某一问题。语言要简练，一般写在信笺的最下端，抄送的下方。附言前可加上P.S.或PS。例：P.S.Discounts are available for VIP clients.III.商务信函的格式及例题1.平 头 式(Block Version)【范文】Dear Sir or Madam,W e welcome you the order above order.The
