Dear Mike,
Your letter and package reached me yesterday. You really give me a great surprise. I was wondering what was in such a nice package until I carefully opened it and found that you sent me an attractive present for my birthday. Thank you very much for your kindness, and I like the present, which will give me pleasure for a long time to come.
Again it is thoughtful of you to send me the present on my birthday. Yesterday evening my colleagues held a birthday party for me, including John Liu---I think you can remember---a nice tall boy, who invited you and I to his birthday last October. We enjoyed ourselves, and all of us mentioned your stay with us. We hope that you will come to China soon, if possible.
Please accept my sincere thanks and best wishes.
Yours,
Peter Wang

We hope that when we go on errand in America next year, we can pay a visit to your family. Then we are sure to have a nice gathering.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Sun Yong-kang:
Your letter eventually followed me to my new address (above). I’m afraid I can’t be of much specific help to you. I am, however, sending you a directory of physics programs in the U.S. On pp. 178 – 180 are programs leading to a Master’s or Ph.D. My suggestion is to look over the program descriptions and then to write directly to the
addresses given if any look appropriate. Stress that you need financial aid.
I wouldn’t worry too much about your English. Your academic background seems strong.
Good Luck,
Harvey Nadler

Dear Jacques,
I’m writing to you because we’ve been having a bit of trouble with one of our suppliers who makes the lightweight batteries we use to power our vehicles. I’m pretty sure you don’t have a local distributor of your products in this country, which is why I’m writing to you direct to se if you can help us out. I did try to call, but you weren’t available.
I’m sending some copies of our technical brochures to that you can see what we need. Here’s the specification:
Polymeric Batteries
Maximum Size: Height: 200mm Depth: 200mm Width: 300mm
Maximum Weight: 5kg
Output: 1000 watts @ 12 volts
Rechargeable life at full power: 8 hours
Labels:
Each unit should bear a label giving:
The output of the battery, its month and year of manufacture, your own company’s name and country, a product code number and a unique unit number
Quantity: 4,800 units
Delivery: by 15 September 2002
I’d appreciate it if you could quote us your best CIF price, giving a full specification of your product and shipping date. Of course our technical department would need to have some samples of the batteries to test in our laboratories before we could place a firm order.
We usually deal with new suppliers on the basis of payment in our currency by confirmed irrevocable Letter of Credit.
Assuming the laboratory tests go well, and you can quote us a competitive price, we’d certainly be able to place more substantial orders on a regular basis.
I’ll be out of the office for a couple of weeks from tomorrow. In the meantime, do get in touch with one of my assistants Mr. Cloud and Mrs. Lewis if you need any more information.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Giving my best regards to Jeanne and the kids.
Best wishes,
Fred

Dear Sir,
I am an assistant teacher of English at East-China Normal University. Now I am writing to you to apply for admission to your department majoring in TESL.
From 1996 to 2000 I studied in Foreign Languages Department, East-China Normal University. After graduation, I stayed in my department as an assistant, teaching the courses of English Grammar and Intensive Reading. As a young teacher
, I am looking forward to getting a chance to have a further study in English-speaking countries in order to improve my English, and my ability to teach the language as well. Knowing that your department offers M.A. in TESL, I, therefore, sincerely hope that I can have the opportunity to study in your department.
During the past three years of my teaching, I have become interested in TESL Reading, Grammar Usage, and Language Acquisition, which may have a close relationship with the required courses you offer. In addition, I have published several papers in these fields (refer to my resume).
Enclosed are my application materials. Please feel free to inform me if you have any question and need some other information. It would be very kind of you if you can take my application into a serious consideration.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Lin Cheng-wei
7）出国留学推荐信 ( Recommendation Letter for Studying Abroad )
随着我国出国留学生日年增多一般，大部分学生需要在出国前让自己的老师、导师或领导写一份出国推荐信，从而可以在信中告知对方学校申请人的学历、能力、为人处世等方面的情况。如果推荐信是写给对方某某人的，开头用 Dear… ，如果是写给对方单位或学校的，则开头可以用To whom it may concern, 或To Whom It May Concern,（意为：有关负责人）。
以下是一封出国留学推荐信：

To Whom It May Concern,
I am delighted to write this recommendation letter for Ms. Ma Yan, a brilliant student of mine, who has applied to your University for admission to graduate program of International Business in the coming fall semester 2002.
In the academic year 1997 – 2001, Ms. Ma Yan was in the class on International Finance and Foreign Trade Business under my instruction. Needless to say, the two courses demand prior study of, among other things, the English language. Ms. Ma Yan’s performance in my class was quite outstanding. From discussions, assignments and terminal exams, I could see that she had acquired extensive knowledge in the conduct of International Finance as well as Foreign Trade Business.
As far as I know, Ms. Ma Yan has been highly successful in almost all the major courses she has taken in our Department. This demonstrates her superior scholastic capacity and her potential for further academic growth. As to her character and personality, in my personal opinion, she is indeed a courteous, pleasant and ambitious young lady. Furthermore, she has a warm personality with emotional maturity. With this good character, I would say that she will be able to get well along with people of different nationalities.
Considering her a student of high potential, I recommend her most enthusiastically. Your assistance and kind cons
ideration of her application will be highly appreciated.
If further information about her is required, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Yours sincerely,
(Signature)

请假条：往往指由于生病或特殊情况不能亲自当面请假，用假条的形式告假。所以，请假条大多是病假条。可以自写，也可请他人代写。写假条最重要的是说明原因和请假的期限。
