一、注意事项
1.切忌主客不分或模糊。
例子: Deciding to rescind the earlier estimate, our report was updated to include $40,000 for new equipment.应改为 Deciding to rescind our earlier estimate, we have updated our report to include $40,000 for new equipment. (We决定呀, 不是report.)
2.句子不要零碎。
例子: He decided not to audit the last ten contracts. Because of our previous objections about compliance. 两个句子应该连在一起：He decided not to audit the last ten contracts because of our previous objections about compliance.
3.结构对称，令人容易理解。
例子: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and the fact that the contract had been altered with ink markings. 应改为: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and ink alterations of the contract.
4.单复数不要搞乱，不然会好刺眼，看着不舒服。
例如: An authorized person must show that they have security clearance. 应改为 Authorized persons must show that they have security clearance.
5.动词和主语要呼应。
想想这两个句子的分别: 1. This is one of the public-relations functions that is under-budgeted. 2. This is one of the public-relations functions, which are under-budgeted.
6.时态和语气不要转换太多。
看商务英语已经是苦事，不要浪费人家的精力啊。
7.标点要准确。
例如: He did not make repairs, however, he continued to monitor the equipment. 应改为: He did not make repairs; however, he continued to monitor the equipment.
8.选词正确。
像 affect和effect，operative和operational等 等就要弄清楚才好用啦。
9.拼字正确。
有电脑拼字检查功能后，就更加不能偷懒。
10.大小写要注意。
除非 必要不要整个词都大写，除非要骂人。例如: MUST change to OS immediately. 外国人就觉得不礼貌和喝令人一样。要强调的话，用底线，斜字，粗体就可以了。
二、开头
1.If you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to, start business emails with either of the following:
如果你不知道邮件是写给谁的，商务信函可以用下面任意一种方式开头：
2.Dear Sir,/Dear Madam,
尊敬的先生,/尊敬的女士,
3.Dear Madame, is wrong.
“亲爱的夫人”这种写法是错误的
4.If you don’t know whether you’re writing to a man or a woman use:
如果你不知道是写给先生还是女士，可以写：
5.Dear Sir or Madam,
尊敬的先生或女士，
6.It is not usual to start an email To whom it may concern. This should be reserved for letters of reference or similar communications when the recipient is an unknown third party.
以“致相关人士”开头并不常见。这种用法一般用在推荐信或与其相似的交流中，收件人是不了解的第三方。
7.It is always better to use somebody’s name if you know it. If it is the first time you are writing to someone, use either of the following:
如果知道对方姓名，邮件中写上总是好的。如果这是你第一次写信给某人，可以用下面任意一种方式开头：
8.For men: Dear Mr XXXX,
写给男士：尊敬的XXX先生
9.For women: Dear Ms XXXX,
写给女士：尊敬的XXX女士
10.Once you get to know someone, i.e. after exchanging one or two emails or if you meet them in person, it is usually OK to use their first name.
一旦你认识了对方，比如在往来一两封邮件或见过面以后，可以在邮件中称呼名字。
11.Use Dear Sirs, if you are writing to more than one person even if the group of people includes women.
如果你写邮件给两个或以上的人，即使这些人里有女士，请写“尊敬的先生们”
12.Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, is wrong. “Ladies and Gentleman” is only used in formal speech.
"尊敬的女士们先生们”是错误的，这种用法只用在正式演讲中。
13.The word Dear may be omitted in less formal emails. Instead, you may just open with the person’s first name/people’s first names.
“dear”在不是特别正式的邮件中可以省去。你可以直接以对方(个人或群组)的名字开头。
14.Here are some example opening sentences for emails:
下面有一些邮件开头的例句：
15.I hope you are well.
我希望你一切都好。
16.I hope you enjoyed your holiday and are finding it easy to settle back in to work.
我希望你已经好好享受假期并且很快重新投入工作。
17.Thank you very much for your email. I am glad to hear that you and your family are well.

1.用现代商务语言去替代过时或陈旧的表达商务邮件的目的在于传达信息或者说服对方，而不是参加作文竞赛评选，一定要让对方赞叹你的写作水平不可。为了达到沟通的目的，商务写作做到简洁自然，不说空话套话，用现代商务语言去替换过时或陈旧的表达。2.使用自然、口语化的方式写作商务邮件虽然是书面体，但它与一般的书面体(比如学术论文)不同。现代商务邮件写作提倡语言自然、流畅，就像面对面的口语交谈一样。我们可以在写作中融入一些自己的想法、个性和情感，让读者感觉到作者是一个活生生的人，而不是一台毫无感情的公文机器。3.使用主动语态一般情况下，在商务邮件中使用被动语态会显得语气生硬、官腔官调，使用主动语态则会更加有趣有力。4.多使用动词而不是名词动词名词化(例如将avoid写成the avoidance of)会拉长句子，而且会使写出来的句子不够生动，缺少人情味。我们在写作时要尽量使用动词而不是名词。希望能帮助到你，望采纳！
