始终不遇
英文书信的格式如下：
一、称呼：
是写信人对收信人的称呼用语。位置在信内地址下方一、二行的地方，从该行的顶格写起，在称呼后面一般用逗号（英国式），也可以用冒号（美国式）。
1、写给亲人、亲戚和关系密切的朋友时，用 Dear 或 My dear 再加上表示亲属关系的称呼或直称其名（这里指名字，不是姓氏）。例如：My dear father，Dear Tom 等。
2、写给公务上的信函用 Dear Madam，Dear Sir 或 Gentleman（Gentlemen）。注意：Dear纯属公务上往来的客气形式。Gentlemen 总是以复数形式出现，前不加 Dear，是 Dear Sir 的复数形式。
3、写给收信人的信，也可用头衔、职位、职称、学位等再加姓氏或姓氏和名字。例如：Dear Prof. Tim Scales, Dear Dr.John Smith。
二、内容：
1、正文：
位置在下面称呼语隔一行，是信的核心部分。因此要求正文层次分明、简单易懂。和中文信不同的是，正文中一般不用 Hello！（你好！）正文有缩进式和齐头式两种。
每段书信第一行的第一个字母稍微向右缩进些，通常以五个字母为宜，每段第二行从左面顶格写起，这就是缩进式。但美国人写信各段落往往不用缩进式，用齐头式，即每一行都从左面顶格写起。商务信件大都采用齐头式的写法。
2、结束语：
在正文下面的一、二行处，从信纸的中间偏右处开始，第一个词开头要大写，句末用逗号。不同的对象，结束语的写法也不同。
（1）写给亲人、亲戚，用Your loving grandfather，Lovingly yours，Lovingly等；
（2）写给熟人、朋友，用Yours cordially，Yours affectionately等；
（3）写业务信函用Truly yours（Yours truly），Faithfully yours（Yours faithfully）等；
（4）对上级、长辈用Yours obediently（Obediently yours），Yours respectfully（Respectfully yours）等。
三、签名：
低于结束语一至二行，从信纸中间偏右的地方开始，在结束语的正下方，在签完名字的下面还要有用打字机打出的名字，以便识别。职务、职称可打在名字的下面。当然，写给亲朋好友的信，就不必再打了。
1、附言（Postscript） ：
一封信写完了，突然又想起遗漏的事情，这时用“P.S.”表示，再写上遗漏的话即可，要长话短说。通常在信末签名下面几行的左方，应于正文齐头。
注意：在正式的信函中，应避免使用附言。
2、附件（Enclosure） ：
信件如果有附件，可在信纸的左下角，注上“Encl:”或“Enc:”
例如：Encl：2 photos（内附两张照片）。如果附件不止一项，应写成Encl：或Encs。
有时可看到在称呼与正文之间有“Re:”或 “Subject:”（事由）字样。一般在信纸的中间，也可与“称呼”对齐。还应在底下加横线，以引起读信人的注意，使收信人便于在读信之前就可了解信中的主要内容。事由一般在公务信函中使用，也可以省略。
