text a effective business letter-writing
the objectives of communication are to obtain complete understanding between the partiesinvolved.if you can communicate effectively,that means you have an important and highly valuedskill.effective communication is the "lifeblood"of every company and a key to success in yourbusiness career as well as in your personal life.
communication is so important that without it a company can not function.since a company isa group of people associated with business,its activities require human beings to interact withand react to each other;to exchange information,idea,plans and proposals;to coordinate;tomake decisions.
communication to person outside the company (customers,inquirers,suppliers,and thepublic)can have a far-reaching effect on the reputation and ultimate success of the company.
thus employees who communicate effectively can contribute in a variety of ways to thelifeblood of their company.successful messageseliminate unnecessaryadditionalcorrespondence,save time and expense,build favorable impressions,enhance goodwill,andhelp increase company profits.
in the business community today,the importance of good communication skills is even morestressed,as it is essential that employees can use the tools of the developing informationtechnology to communicate clearly,accurately and effectively.
text b the language of modern business letters
all business letters have two main functions:
a)to ask for and give a reply to an enquiry,offer,order or complaint.
b)to keep a record of all the important facts for ready reference.
the language of old-style business letters is often long and complicated.such letters areliable to confuse the readers.a confused and over long letter may be put aside until someoneexplains its meaning,and this may mean delay.since a letter is written for the readers,thelanguage of modern business letters should be simple,clear and direct.the writer states thepurpose of his letter briefly,and the letter is short and friendly.such letters help the writers asmuch as the readers,and will probably mean an earlier reply.
nowadays,more and more people like to do business through a fax machine by sending faxes oreven on the web by sending e-mails.the former is the abbreviation of facsimile,which is actually anexact copy of a document,a picture or a piece of writing sent or received by an electronic system

using telephone lines.the latter is correspondence sent or received on the web,which is faster andmore convenient than ordinary letters.at the moment,the e-commerce involves offering,ordering,enquiring,payment and complaint,etc.but all these are still based on the business letters and everydaylanguage.so,effective writing is vital to the success of business activities,which includes correctform,explicit content,compact structure,natural and conversational style.
here are two letters.one is an old-fashioned,pompous style of english,which is too longand complicates the message.the other is in a simple and clear style.
old-fashioned style
dear sir,
i beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 15th inst.in connection with our not clearingour account which was outstanding as at the end of june.
please accept our profuse apologies.we were unable to settle this matter due to the suddendemise of mr.noel,our accountant,and as a result were unaware of those accounts which wereto be cleared.we now,however,have managed to trace all our commitments and take pleasurein enclosing our remittance for f 620 which we trust will settle our indebtedness.
we hope that this unforeseen incident did not in any way inconvenience you,nor lead you tobelieve that our not clearing our balance on the due date was an intention on our part to delaypayment.
we remain,yours...
simple and clear style
dear sir,
i am replying to your letter of 15 july asking us to clear our june balance.
i apologize for not settling the account sooner,but due to the unfortunate death of mr.noel,our accountant,we were not able to settle any of our outstanding balances.
please find enclosed our check for 620,and accept our apologies for any inconvenience.

一般的商业信函可分为8个组成部分:
l.信头(the letter-head)
发信人的名称、地址和发信日期。目的在于使收信人了解信发自何方、何处、何时,以便复信时参考。用印有信头的信笺写信,信头部分除写上日期外还可以写上编号或查号。
2.封内名称和地址(the inside name and address)
收信人的名称和地址。一般列在信笺的左上方,信头之下。封内名称和地址与信封写法相同。
3.称呼(the salutation)
写信人对收信人的一种称呼。位置在封内地址下,空两行。dear sir或dear sirs用得较多。
4.事由(the subject line)
顾名思义,简单扼要地说明来信事由,一般只写商品名称、数量、信用证或合同号码等。
5.正文(the body of the letter)信函的主体。
6.客套结尾(the complimentary close)
结束信函的一种客套。它应与前面的称呼相一致,如faithfully yours,这是商业信件中常用的客套语,相当于汉语的“谨上”。也可写作“yours faithfully,”或“truly yours,(yours truly,)”或“sincerely yours,(yours sincerely,)”等。
7.签名(the writer's signature)
写信人签名。因签字常常很潦草,为使对方了解签名人的姓名和职位,可以打字
4外贸英语函电
注明。
8.附件(the enclosure)
如信中有附件时,应在左下角注明encl.或enc.,然后详细列明。
此外还有信函经办人代号(the reference notation)、抄送(the carbon copy)和附言(the postscript)等,可根据具体情况酌情列人,均放在信的左下角。
(c)
作为目前高效、快捷的通信方式,电子邮件(e-mail)的语言和文体适应了现代生活和现代商务快节奏的特点,形成了其独特的语言文体特征,这主要体现在:
1.结构更加简明,重点更加突出。省掉了信头、日期、封内地址,事由放到了“主题”一栏。
2.语言更加自然和口语化,多用短句,使内容更加简明、易懂。
3.用词更加简略,多用“common words'”,甚至大量使用“colloquial words”。
当然,跟其他所有书面沟通形式一样,其文体和语言会因不同交际对象、交际场合而发生变化,写作者应视具体情况而定。
