電子郵件英語（范例15篇）
電子郵件英語1
Dear Sir,
I saw your advertisement for "the perfect lighter" in Sunday Times last week and immediately sent off a ￡2 postal order and the completed form for the lighter.
Imagine my surprise when all I got in return was a box of matches! I could understand a mistake. I might even pardon a joke. But in this case, your advertisement is a deliberate lie since a friend of mine who also sent the coupon got the same result.
I think it's a shame to promise an economical lighter when in fact you are not selling a lighter a1 all. Instead of saying it works quickly, you should admit that you are offering matches. And what about "only" ￡2: I usually pay 10 pennies for a box of matches, and they are often given away free.
I regard your advertisement as a serious deception and demand that you send me my money back immediately. Otherwise I will take active steps to make sure the Consumers' Association hear about it.
Yours faithfully,
Peter Li

一、商務英語電子郵件的格式
常見的商務英語電子郵件包括以下五部分：
①寫信人Email地址、收信人Email地址、抄送收信人Email地址、密送收信人Email地址。②標題。③稱呼、開頭、正文、結尾句。④禮貌結束語。⑤寫信人全名、寫信人職務及所屬部門、地址、電話號碼、傳真等。
其中郵件主題應體現郵件主旨，要引人注目、意思明確，最好為名詞或動名詞短語；稱呼禮貌得體，符合商務英語寫作習慣，如不知對方姓名只知頭銜，可用 Dear+Title作為稱呼，如只知對方姓名不知性別，可用Dear+全名，如郵件為一封通函，則用DearAll作為郵件稱呼；正文應結構清楚，便于閱讀，如正文內容較長，可使用小標題、小段落，或利用星號、下劃線及段落間空行等方式使郵件眉目清楚、一目了然。
二、商務英語電子郵件寫作應遵循的六大原則
1、親切自然：可以用We 就不要用You
每一封email往來，都是你和與收信人之間的交流。很多人以為寫商業e-mail就應該用「生意腔」，于是把本來有感情基礎的e-mail寫得官樣。
把每次e-mail往來當成是跟對方進行了一次交談，只不過交談的`界面是e-mail。用我／我們做主詞，這樣才能讓email讀起來熱情、友善，像朋友交談那樣簡單自然，親切又人性化。 官樣e-mail：Your mail has been received.
親切e-mail：I have received your mail.
官樣e-mail：Your complaint is being looked into.
親切e-mail：We are looking into your complaint.
2、一針見血：可以清楚 就不要模糊
寫email最忌諱文縐縐，要打電話給人就用call，要去拜訪人就說visit，不要刻意用自以為正式但其實意思模模糊糊的字。
模糊字：contact
清楚字：call／write／visit
模糊字：soon
清楚字：by March 15
3、言簡意賅：可以一個字就不要兩個字
大部份商業人士跟你一樣，每天都要閱讀大量e-mail。所以e-mail一定要寫得簡明扼要。與主題無關或者無助于e-mail目的之內容，請毫不留情的舍棄。
冗長句：The paper jam had the effect of a destructive force on the copy machine. 精簡句：The paper jam destroyed the copy machine.
冗長句：We have enclosed a brochure which shows further details of manufacture. 精簡句：The enclosed brochure shows further manufacture details.
4、語匯樸實：用對方看得懂的關鍵字
每個行業都有自己的行話，寫e-mail時要確定別人懂不懂你的行話，也盡量不用華麗詞藻。西方人習慣使用樸實的語言。
迂回句：We look forward to a bright and glorious future of cooperation.
樸實句：We hope to have the opportunity to work with you in the future.
迂回句：The choice of exogenous variables in relation to multi-collinearity is contingent upon the derivations of certain multiple correlation coefficients.
樸實句：Supply determines demand.
5、有技巧的表達：永遠讓人覺得you're helpful
同樣一件事說法不同，得到回應就不同，有技巧的說法讓人樂于為你效勞。
拙劣說法：Obviously, if you’d read your policy carefully, you’d be able to answer these questions yourself.
漂亮說法：I'm glad to clear up these questions for you.
拙劣說法：In order to complete the claim you made, simply..
漂亮說法：To complete your transaction,..
6、下一個專業的信件標題
許很多人沒有意識到，e-mail的標題是很重要的一部分，郵件給對方的第一印象就是透過標題來完成。如果標題沒有內容，看起來像群組垃圾郵件，命運就是直接進入垃圾桶。 不專業標題：How are you?
專業標題：Introduction: Our Product Offerings for Bright Ideas Imports
不專業標題：Can we work together?
專業標題：Proposal: Bright Ideas Imports—ABC's Partnership Opportunity

"here comes uncles letter!" i shouted happily. but this letter was different from those he sent to me before. it was an email! my uncle went to the united states long ago. but he cared about my study and life very much. so he wrote me often. but it would take a long time for his letter to arrive.
several years later, my family set up a telephone set, it became easier for us to communicate, but we cost more money by calling each other. now we both had a computer and could get on the intemet. then we could talk to each other any time we wanted to, and it wouldnt cost much.the world is changing, and it is changing better and better.

Dear Allen,
I've got your E-mail. Thank you for your rapid reply! You know what that was my first time to write an E-mail, and it was so fun! I even wrote the wrong address at the first time .How silly I am! About the E-mail you sent me, the flash game is so interesting，and I forward it to my classmate. Everybody says it's the best game they ever played. It's so nice of you to send me the game. Where did you find the game? By the way, would you like to see a movie with me this Saturday? I hear that there is a cool movie and I have two tickets. Please give me the answer before Friday, so that I can make the plan.
PS: Can you tell me how to beat the game or give me the work through? Thanks.
Best regards,
Peter
電子郵件email的郵件格式
英文書信是一種最常用的應用文體，對于普通的私人信件通常由五部分組成：
1.信頭：指發信人的地址和日期。寫在信紙的右上角，可以從靠近信紙的中央寫起。信頭上面要留空白。先寫發信人地址。地址的寫法與漢語不同，要先寫小地方，后寫大地方。在地址的下面寫上日期。日期的順序是：月、日、年，或者：日、月、年。例如：may 17 XX。在年份之前有一個逗號。
2.稱呼：指對收信人的稱呼。寫在信頭之下，從信紙的左邊開始。寫信給熟悉的人，一般用dear…或my dear…作稱呼。如：dear li lei，dear miss thomas或my dear dad.
3.信的正文：指信的主體部分。從稱呼的下一行第一段頂邊寫。從第二段起每段第一個詞都縮進3或5個字母寫。
4.結束語：指正文下面的`結尾客套話。一般從信紙的中央靠右寫起，第一個字母大寫，末尾用一逗號。在非正式的社交信中，常用yours或sincerely。假如對方是親密的朋友，可用sincerely yoursyours等。
5.簽名：指發信人簽名。寫在結束語的下面，稍偏右。

二、商務英語電子郵件寫作應遵循的五c原則
商務英語電子郵件的正文寫作應該遵循五c原則，即correctness、conciseness、complete、clarity和courtesy原則。
準確原則
由于商務英語電子郵件涉及的是商務活動雙方的權利、義務關系，其準確性對商務治理與溝通至關重要。具體而言，不僅電子郵件的英語語法、標點符號和拼寫要做到準確無誤，電子郵件內容還要敘述準確，以免引起誤會糾紛。
簡潔原則
簡潔原則是商務英語寫作最重要的原則，指在不影響完整性和禮貌性的前提下，盡量使用簡單句子和簡短詞語。一封拖沓冗長、措詞復雜的電子郵件既浪費寫的時間，也會給閱讀者帶來不必要的麻煩，故商務英語電子郵件應以簡明扼要為第一要務。
在具體寫作中，商務英語電子郵件呈現出的句法特征是句子結構簡單明了，有大量省略句和不完整句。其詞匯特征是用語簡潔，語言簡明扼要。
另外，為了節約時間和空間，電子郵件中可使用縮略語，如u表示you，pls表示please，info表示information，qty表示quantity，p“c表示piece，l“c表示letterofcredit，fob表示freeonboard。
例1 it is very difficult to sell man hole covers in france.this product must have the quality certificate issued in france.
例2 price：fob shanghai usd 96“pc.
例3 hope you can accept it.
例1中的兩個單句具有明顯的因果關系，但寫并不使用表達因果關系的`連接詞如since、because，這種舍長句、復合句，選短句、簡單句，喜并列、棄從屬的句法特征在商務英語電子郵件寫作中十分常見。例2中縮略語的使用，例3中不完整句的選擇，反映了與普通商務信函相比，商務電子郵件更傾向于非正式文體，更為口語化。
完整原則
商務電子郵件內容應力求具體、明確、完整，提供讀者所需要的信息，尤其像盤、詢問貿易條件等需要回函的電子郵件，更需要清楚完整，因為只有包含具體信息的郵件，才能達到良好的溝通效果。郵件是否完整，可以用5w1h來檢驗，即who，when，where，what，why和how。
清楚原則
商務英語電子郵件的寫作要做到層次清楚，用詞準確。具體表現在：
例1 we will deliver your goods soon.
例2 中significant一詞意為明顯的、不小的，語義模糊，故可以用具體數字替換。例2中soon表示不久、很快，語義不明確，沒有指出具體的供貨時間，可改為具體的年月日。
禮貌原則
商務英語電子郵件應遵循措詞婉轉、禮貌的原則。鑒于電子郵件直接影響到整個交易的成敗，買賣雙方應十分注重措辭方式，要婉轉、禮貌，使對方輕易接受。在寫作電子郵件時，可以通過使用虛擬語氣、委婉語氣等方法迂回地表達觀點，提出要求。
例1 if it is not for the larger orders we receive from a numbero four regular customers，we could not have quoted for supplies even at that price.
例2 i would appreciate it if you could give me your best quotations for 65，000 pieces.
例1中虛擬語氣和例2中委婉語氣的使用，緩和了商務談判的語氣，既明確了自己的立場，又使對方的面子免于受損，語氣自然誠懇，禮貌得體，很輕易為對方接受。

Dear Sirs：
Thank you for your letter of 20 January 20xx. We are disappointed to hear that our price for Flame cigarette lighters is too high for you to work on. You mention that Japanese goods are being offered to you at a price approximately 10% lower than that quoted by us.
We accept what you say，but we are of the opinion that the quality of the other makes does not measure up to that of our products.
Although we are keen to do business with you，we regret that we cannot accept your counter offer or even meet you half way.
The best we can do is to reduce our previous quotation by 2%. We trust that this will meet with your approval.We look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully，
Tony Smith Chief Seller
先生：
二零xx年元月二十日來函收到，不勝感激。得知貴公司認為火焰牌打火機價格過高，無利可圖，本公司極感遺憾。來函又提及日本同類貨品報價較其低近百分之十。
本公司認同來函的.說法，然而，其他廠商的產品質量絕對不能與本公司的相提并論。
雖然極望與貴公司交易，但該還盤較本公司報價相差極大，故未能接受貴公司定單。
特此調整報價，降價百分之二，祈盼貴公司滿意。
謹候佳音。
銷售部主任

Dear Miss Yuan,
How are you? I am Tonny. It is hot this summer holiday. Are you reading this at home?
Now, I am in Hong Kong. I'd like to give you my e-mail.
Hong Kong is not as big as Shanghai, but it is a modern and beautiful place. It's very busy in the street. I can also see many tall buildings. They're always bright at night.
I like Disney Land best. I can see many cartoon characters there like Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Snow White and so on. I want to stay in Disney Land longer, but the airplane will not wait for us. I have to say goodbye to my Disney friends.
I want to tell you more, when I meet you in the new term.
Your student Tonny

Dear Sir，
I am writing to you for the mobile phone of Dephone—S250 I bought on 20th Apr。20xx at Tele Mall in Wuhan， P。R。 China。 Ten days after that， it didn’t ring and send short messages。 Then I took it to the seller， but was told that the model had been sold out and I had to wait at least three months for a new one。 I had no choice but to go to the repairman。 To my disappointment ，he said since it was a new model in China， it was impossible to fix it without the right spare parts。 I was so desperate on hearing that for I can not wait that long。 Therefore， I have to require that you send me a new one of the same model within a month。
Thank you for your consideration。
Sincerely yours，
Bu Manyi

The Dragon Boat Festival is my favorite festival. During the Dragon Boat Festival, my family and I had a delicious snack. The rice dumplings taste very good.
We saw the dragon boat race. I was very excited because the competition was a lively and exciting Dragon Boat Festival. We also drank realgar wine.
Some people think that drinking realgar wine can prevent diseases. The Dragon Boat Festival is very interesting and I like it very much http://wenkubaiducom/view/0a 4daafba8ehtml.

Dear Sir,
I am highly disappointed in the proposed 20xx-05 budget cuts to educa1ion. Taking away basic aid status and slashing our school budgets is a recipe for educational disaster in our school. The future lies with our children. They must have access to high quality educa1ion.
My husband and I have worked hard to be able to live in a school district that provides high quality education for our children. Cutting funding in districts like ours will have a negative impact on property values.
The school that my daughter attends is hardly wha1 I would describe as a "rich" school. Parents are asked to pay for books for all the classes, science supplies and for their students to participate in the performing arts among other items. If our school is to remain a world leader in technological development, cutting our school funds is the worst possible choice to make.
Education funds should not be diverted away from education.
Yours faithfully,
Tom Williams

Dear Robert:
How time flies! The happy days we shared often shines in my memory. What about you? As you know, my college entrance exam is approaching, which also announces the end of this sort of pressing study life. However，I intend to have a meaningful summer vacation. First, I will learn to drive to get a driving license, which is a new activity for a high school graduate in China. I will have a good rest, enjoying my hobbies. Then I will take some English courses to improve my English communication ability, With the 2008 Olympics beginning, I will be a participant of it, watching the basketball match between China and the US. I have been dreaming of Kobe’s performance long. After that, I will pay a visit to some tourist attractions to widen my horizon.
That is the plan for my vacation. I am looking forward to being told about your arrangements of vacation. Give me your quick reply soon, OK?
Best wishes!

There is a new sort of party being thrown by cool people in California. The idea is that you invite your friends and colleagues over, crack open a bottle of wine, blast out a groovy playlist, then settle down with your laptop to clean up your emails.
現在加州的潮人們熱衷于召開一種新型派對。其基本模式是，邀請好友以及同事來到自己家中，打開一瓶美酒，播放一個動聽的音樂列表，然后大家拿著各自的筆記本電腦安頓下來開始清理電子郵件。
The concept of the “inbox zero party” comes from Randi Zuckerberg (sister of Mark) and is possibly the grimmest idea for a social gathering ever invented. Even the Tupperware party starts to look a glittering intellectual salon by comparison.
“收件箱清零派對”的創意來自蘭迪-扎克伯格（馬克-扎克伯格的姐姐），并且很可能是有史以來最糟糕的社交聚會創意。相比之下，即使特百惠派對都開始顯得像是閃閃發光的知識分子沙龍。
Ms Zuckerberg says unread emails weigh on her soul. In that case, the answer isn’t a party – it’s to tell her soul to get a grip. There are 2,347 unread messages in my two inboxes and my soul is coping fine. I glance at the emails as they come in, and depending on who they are from and what the subject line says, I open them. Otherwise I tend not to.
蘭迪-扎克伯格表示，未讀的電子郵件會使她的精神產生負擔。對于這種情況，解決辦法并非開個派對，而是告訴她自己學會控制情緒。現在我的兩個電子郵箱中 共有2347封未讀郵件，而我在精神上并沒有感到什么壓力。我會在收到郵件時瞟上一眼，根據發件人是誰以及標題欄的內容選擇是否閱讀郵件。否則的話我傾向于不讀郵件。
Ms Zuckerberg suggests that to get into the party mood all her guests start with a “vent about how you hate drowning in email”. The trouble with this is that venting about email is even more boring than venting about the weather. Absolutely everyone does it – even the people who were responsible for giving us email in the first place. Dave Coplin, a “chief envisioning officer” at Microsoft UK, has just written a book about business being broken, and one of the most broken things is email. We are slaves to it, he moans.
蘭迪-扎克伯格稱，為了營造派對氛圍，她的所有賓客都要把抱怨“自己如何討厭花費大把時間處理電子郵件”作為開場白。這種做法的問題在于，抱怨電子郵件甚至比抱怨天氣還要無聊。無疑人人都會這么做，包括一開始帶給我們電子郵箱的那些人。戴夫-科普林是微軟英國公司的“首席構想官”，他最近剛寫了一本關于被瓦解的事物的新書，而電子郵件正是最為破碎的東西之一。他感嘆稱，我們都是電子郵件的奴隸。
Last week I went to a talk given by a woman on how to do it better. As I listened, I realised that we should all resolve never again to moan about how email drags us under: instead we should remind ourselves of how it allows us to float. Its particular genius is that it allows me to pretend to be super-organised without lifting a finger.
上周我去聆聽了一位女士的演講，主題是如何更好地使用電子郵件。在聽演講的過程中，我意識到我們都應下定決心永遠不再抱怨電子郵件是如何占用了我們的時間；正相反，我們應當提醒自己電子郵件是如何使我們能夠應付過來。電子郵件最絕的一點在于，它使我們能夠不用抬一抬手指就裝出一副非常有條理的樣子。
I have no folders, no system of organisation. That is because I don’t need one. The search function is so obliging that everything anyone has ever sent me can be left lying around higgledy-piggledy in the cloud and it will locate it again in a jiffy.
我沒有在電子郵箱中設立文件夾，也沒有用于整理資料的系統。這是因為我沒有這個需要。郵箱搜索功能是如此有用，以至于任何人發給過我的任何東西都可以雜亂無章地存放在存儲云中，而通過搜索功能又可以一瞬間將其找到。
I’ve also learnt how to filter messages, and in the past week have delighted in installing a draconian blocking system. All PRs, all stalkers, almost all group emails and even a couple of colleagues have now been denied access to my inbox. All out-of-office replies and everything from LinkedIn are blocked, so I will never again see messages saying “XX has added a new skill!”. I even block the daily email from the canteen telling me that it’s toad in the hole and spotted dick on the menu tonight.
我還學會了如何過濾信息，并在過去的一周當中很開心地安裝了一個嚴格的屏蔽系統。我的郵箱現在拒收所有公關郵件和騷擾郵件，幾乎所有的群發郵件，甚至少數幾個同事的郵件。所有“不在辦公室”的回復以及來自LinkedIn的郵件都被屏蔽了，因此我再也不用讀到聲稱“某某人又增添了一項新技能！”的信息了，我甚至屏蔽了每日來自食堂的郵件，信中通常會告訴我晚餐的菜單包括面托烤香腸以及葡萄干布丁。
Between 15 and 50 messages a day now make it past these filters. To these, I reply when I see fit – which might be immediately or might be never. The only messages I try to reply to at once are about things to which the answer is no. These are the emails that drag on my soul, and so in order to inflict minimum damage I’ve learnt how to say, “No thanks” at the double.
通過這些過濾設置，我現在每天大約收到15至50封郵件。對于這些郵件，我會在我認為恰當的時候做出回復——我可能立刻回信，也可能永遠不會回信。唯一一類我會設法立刻回復的郵件都是關于一些需要我做出否定回應的事。這些郵件會對我的.精神造成負擔，因此為了盡可能地減小損害，我已經學會了如何盡可能快地回復“謝謝，不用了”。
I realise there is something unseemly in admitting to not drowning in email. It is tantamount to saying: I’m not very important or very popular. Popular and important people have a bigger problem than I do, so much so that some of them have elected to build email life rafts on which they can remain afloat. Having done so, they are keen to tell us about it.
我意識到，承認電子郵件并未占用自己太多時間存在一些不合宜之處。這等于是在說：我既不是很重要，也不是很受歡迎。既受歡迎又很重要的人物在電子郵件上面臨的麻煩比我要大得多，以至于他們中的某些人選擇建造“電子郵件救生筏”來保護自己不被電子郵件淹沒。在做過了這些事情以后，他們也很樂于和大家談起。
Tony Hsieh, chief executive of Zappos, has called his raft “Yesterbox”, as every day he makes himself tackle the previous day’s messages. In a recent blog he explains that the beauty of this system is that the task is always finite – and he gets a sense of triumph when he’s done. When I read about his wheeze, I thought it sounded vaguely familiar. And then I realised I, too, used to wait a day before replying. We all did: it was called the postal system.
鞋業零售商Zappos的首席執行官謝家華就把自己的電子郵件救生筏取名為“昨日箱”，因為他每天都會處理前一天的郵件。在近期的一篇博客中他解釋道，這個系統的美妙之處在于，需要處理的任務數量總是有限的——當他完成任務時總是能夠獲得一種成就感。當我讀到他的自白時，我隱約產生了一種似曾相識的感覺。隨后我意識到，自己以前也曾等到一天以后方才回復。我們都曾這么做過：這種模式的名稱叫做郵政系統。
Fortunately, I’m now one step ahead: now that I’m such a whizz at blocking my email I’ve added a new filter that rejects everything that says “automatic reply”. And then, just to be on the safe side, I’ve also blocked any message that says “Slow is the new Fast”. Because it isn’t.
幸運的是，現在我已經向前邁出了一步：鑒于我已如此擅于為我的郵箱設置屏蔽，我又增加了一項過濾設置，拒收任何包含“自動回復”的郵件。然后出于安全考慮，我還屏蔽了任何包含“慢是新時代的快”的郵件。因為事實并非如此。
