(1) 信頭。信頭包括兩項(xiàng)：寫信人的地址和寫信日期，通常寫在信紙的右上角。先寫地址，后寫日期。地址的寫法與信封地址的寫法相同，也是先小后大，每行采用齊頭式(頂格寫)或縮進(jìn)式。日期的寫法，應(yīng)緊接在寫信人地址的下一行，不能像寫中文書信那樣，寫在寫的最后。順序與日記日期的寫法一樣。
(2) 信內(nèi)地址。信內(nèi)地址是指收信人的姓名和地址。與寫信人的地址、姓名相隔兩行，寫在左上角。先寫姓名，后寫地址，地址的寫法與寫信人地址的寫法相同。在收信人的姓名前往往加上尊稱或頭銜，如, Mrs., Miss, Doctor, Professor等等。在私人書信中，我們通常不寫信內(nèi)地址。
(3) 稱呼。稱呼是指寫信人對(duì)收信人的稱呼。與收信人的姓名、地址相隔一行，與上面對(duì)齊。從左邊頂格寫，占一行。稱呼一般用Dear或My dear開始，以逗號(hào)“，”結(jié)束。如果姓前要加稱謂或職位的話，男性用Mr.；女性用Miss(未婚)，Mrs.(已婚)，Ms(不知婚否)。職位也可用Doctor, Professor，Comrade等。如果給自己熟悉的朋友或小輩寫信，可寫為Dear / My dear+姓名。如：Dear Mrs. Smith, / My dear Xiao Ming, / My dear daughter, / Dear Dr. Wang等。
(4) 正文。正文是書信的主要部分。正文一般從稱呼下隔一行開始寫，每段開頭仍內(nèi)縮四個(gè)字母大小的空隙。如果是給不熟悉的人寫信的話，一般要先進(jìn)行自我介紹，反之，則可直接進(jìn)入正題。要寫好一封書信，開頭語是正文的一個(gè)不可缺少的組成部分。寫信時(shí)，如果忽視開頭語，只重視寫提示的要點(diǎn)內(nèi)容的話，寫出來的文章就會(huì)缺乏連貫性和可讀性。寫信時(shí)常用的開頭語有：
I’m writing to tell you about…
I have the pleasure to tell you that…
We're so glad that you… Here is how…
My name is Li Hua. I…
I’m very much delighted to inform you that…
I’m sorry to tell you / to say…
Than you for telling me about…
I apologize for not writing to you for a long time…
I’m very happy to hear of your success
I’m very happy to hear that you are all enjoying good health.
I’m sorry I’ve been so slow in answering your letter.
I must apologize for my delay in answering your letter.
I was very surprised to get your letter yesterday.
I’m very glad to hear from you again.
It was good to hear from you and I shall be very pleased to let you have the information you need.
I’m very pleased to hear that everything is going so well with you.
We have enjoyed hearing from you.
As I have not received your letter for long, I feel anxious.等等。
正文要求語言準(zhǔn)確，能表情達(dá)意，行文流暢。
(5) 結(jié)束語。結(jié)束語相當(dāng)于中文書信的客套話。這些結(jié)束語寫在正文的左下方，另起一行。常用的結(jié)束語有：
Best wishes!
Gook luck to you!
Wish you success!
Give my regards / best wishes / love to…!
I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
Hope to hear from you soon!
Thanks again for writing about…
I hope to hear more news about…
Take cake of yourself!
I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Please remember to your family.
Do please write and let me know how you are getting on.
I hope to see you soon, and tell you …
Best wishes for your health and every happiness!
I hope you and your family are very well.
As the season grows colder, I hope you will take care of yourself.
Dou you think you like it better, if not, just let me know.
Thank you for any help you can give me. 等等。
(6) 結(jié)尾謙稱。英文書信末尾的謙稱，一般寫在結(jié)束語的下方，相隔1-2行，從信紙中央偏右的地方。開頭字母要大寫，末尾用逗號(hào)“，”。常用的謙稱語有：Affectionately yours, / Yours affectionately, / Yours ever, / Ever yours, / Livingly yours, / Yours lovingly, / Yours, / Yours truly, / Truly yours, / Respectfully yours, / Yours respectfully, 等等。
(7) 簽名。簽名是指寫信人的姓名。寫在謙稱下面，另起以行。在私人信件中一般不需要簽全名，手寫體即可。在商務(wù)信件中為了使人看得清楚，則在親筆寫的全名的下方，可打印出姓名。
