Dear Mr.Levy,Is there a place at First Security for a person with a thorough business education, experience in the business world, and an earnest desire to accept responsibility and handle challenges? If so, I believe that I can meet your need.On December 20, 1988, I received a BBA degree from Brigham Young University besides courses in accounting, management, and marketing.I have taken speech, industrial psychology, and business communications to better prepare myself to work effectively with people.As an employee at Sears, Roebuck in Provo, Utah, I have performed various duties from receiving clerk to cashier to candidate for management trainee.I believe that my supervisor there(see the enclosed resume)will tell you that I was a dependable, conscientious worker.My part time work of approximately 25 hours a week enabled me to pay the major part of my college expenses.In addition to education and experience, Mr.Levy, my college activities have prepared me to work well with people.As senior vice president in charge of recruiting for my professional fraternity, I organized a number of educational and social meetings for prospective members.During the time I served as chairman of recruiting, we pledged more men and women than we had for the previous three years.Besides the qualifications mentioned, I would bring to your bank a desire to succeed and a willingness to work hard.Please look over the enclosed resume, which provides more details about my background.If you think I could serve First Security in an entry level

position, please call me.I will arrange to come in for an interview at your convenience.Yours very truly,（Signature）

第三篇：英语应用文写作之邀请信

英语应用文写作之邀请信

（一）一、邀请信及复信

邀请信包括宴会邀请、午餐和晚餐邀请、聚会邀请、舞会邀请、婚礼邀请等。

邀请信虽然看起来不象请柬那样正规、庄重，但是，也是很讲就的。写好邀请信，需注意以下几个问题：

1.邀请信一定要写得明确、完整，不可给收信人留下任何疑问。如: “ I’d like you and Tom to come to dinner next Wednesday.” 这样的写法就不够明确，需要加上具体的日期和时间。该句应写成: “I’d like you and Tom to come to dinner on Wednesday, June 14, at seven o’clock.”

2.在欧美国家，夜晚的邀请，除了那些只允许男人参加的社交活动之外，不论是正式的，还是非正式的，都应该邀请夫妻双方参加。

3.别人对你的邀请是对你的尊重，因此，无论能否赴约，都应该给与及时的、有礼貌的答复。

4.对于邀请信，在复信时应该明确地说明是接受邀请, 还是不能接受邀请。不能使用模棱两可的话。如: “ I’ll try my best to come.” “ I’ll come if I’m in town.” 等等，那样会使邀请人感到十分不安，应该明确说明去还是不去，以便让邀请人早做安排。

5.接受邀请时，在回信时要重复写上邀请信中的某些内容，如:

几月几日、星期几、几点钟等等。不应该这样写：“ I’ll be delighted to attend your luncheon…”，而应该写成： “ I’ll be delighted to attend your luncheon on Thursday, May tenth, at one o’clock.” 这样写，可以纠正你或邀请人可能弄错了的日期和时间。

（一）宴会邀请信及复信

邀请朋友赴宴（Inviting a Friend to Dinner）

Dear Zhang Ning,Will you and Mr.Wang Yi have dinner with us on Tuesday, the fifth of May, at seven o’clock?

It’s a long time since we have had the pleasure of seeing you and we do hope you can come.Sincerely yours,Elizabeth K.Benton ·接受邀请（Acceptance）

Dear Mrs.Benton,Wang Yi and I will be delighted to dine with you on Tuesday, the fifth of May, at seven o’clock.How nice of you to ask us!We are both looking forward with great pleasure to seeing you and Dr.Benton again.Very sincerely yours,Zhang Ning

不能赴约（Regret）

Dear Mrs.Benton,I’ve been putting off this note until the last possible moment, hoping and hoping Wang Yi would get back from Shanghai in time for your dinner party.But now I must regretfully write that he’ll still be out of town on Tuesday, the fifth;and we therefore cannot accept your kind invitation for dinner on that day.It was sweet of you to ask us;and I know Wang Yi will be as sorry as I am to miss an evening with you and Dr.Benton.We know how delightful such evenings at your house usually are!Sincerely yours,Zhang Ning

2.邀请朋友赴宴和看电影

现代人由于忙忙碌碌，邀请信总是写得很简短，邀请朋友赴宴和看电影，通常只写上几行字，但是，他们认为这并不是草率和不恭敬的表现，只是为了速度快些罢了。例如：

Dear Li Ming,We have four tickets for a new movie Brokeback Mountain this Friday, the tenth.Will you and He Yi join us here for dinner at six sharp;and then go on with us later to the movie? We’ll be

looking for you Friday night, so don’t disappoint us!

Affectionately yours,Doris

·接受邀请(Acceptance)

Dear Doris,Delighted!We’ll be there Friday at six, and go with you

afterward to the cinema.How wonderful of you and Frank to ask us!….Affectionately yours,Li Ming·不能赴约（Regret）

Dear Doris,I think you’d better ask some other couple for Friday.He Yi is in Shanghai and won’t be back for another week.Wait till he hears what a wonderful evening he missed with you and Frank!Thanks for asking us, Doris.I’m certainly sorry we can’t say “yes”!

Affectionately yours,Li Ming

3.取消非正式宴会的短笺

有时候，由于生病或其他原因，需取消原定的宴请，如果时间紧，可以用电话通知已邀请的客人，如果有时间，应该写一封短信表示歉意。

Dear Mrs.Jennings,I have just learned that my son, who is at school in Shanghai, was injured in a basketball game.Although the injury is not very serious, Lin Kai and I feel we must go to him at once;and we are leaving tomorrow morning.Under the circumstances, we must recall our dinner

invitations for Tuesday, the fifth of May… and plan on a later date for our party.I’m sure that you and Mr.Jennings will understand our anxiety, and will forgive this last-minute change in plans.Sincerely yours,Li Li

4.对于非正宴请的不能如期赴约的短笺

按照英美人的习惯，应邀者因为生病或其他原因而不能如期赴约时，应该打个电话或写一封短信告诉邀请人。当然，只有在万不得已时才能做出这样的改变。

Dear Mrs.Benton,I’m very sorry to have to write you this letter!After accepting your kind invitation for dinner on Tuesday, May the fifth, I now

find that we cannot be there after all.Li Yong has just been called to Shanghai on business;and although he tried very hard to postpone the trip until after the fifth, he was unable to do so.We had been looking forward with great pleasure to seeing you and Dr.Benton;and we both feel very badly about this unexpected development.We hope you understand, and that you will not be inconvenienced.Sincerely yours,Wang ShanshanWriting Assignment 1：写一封邀请信，要请你的好朋友Elizabeth K.Benton 本周六晚7点到你家赴宴, 然后一起去电影院看新电影《金刚》（KING KONG）(The Eighth Wonder of the World.)。以Elizabeth K.Benton的身份给你写一封表示接受邀请的回信。

.以Elizabeth K.Benton的身份给你写一封表示不能接受邀请的回信。

第四篇：英语应用文写作之便条

便条(Notes)便条是书信的一种形式，常用的有请假条和留言条两种。较普通书信来说，其特点是格式简单，内容简短。

一、请假条（Written Request for Leave）

这里所讲的请假条包括病假条、事假条以及续假条等。写请假条要注意把请假的原因和请假时间写清楚，而且请假的理由要讲充分。如果有证明原因的证据，如医生的证明等最好随条附上。

1.请病假（Asking for Sick Leave）

您的学生：李勇 2005年7月5日

二、留言条（Notes Left）

留言条使用范围较广，大多是本人在某一场合下的直接、简短的留言，并且多用于亲朋好友及熟人之间。留言条的书写格式以及用词乃至称呼语气上较请假条来说，还要简单、随便。一般来说，不必写出年、月、可直接用星期几、或者月、日、点钟代之。如用于熟人，仅称呼其名或姓、属上自己的名或姓即可。下面就是几种常见的留言。1．通知会议延期（Informing the Meeting Put off）

第五篇：英语应用文写作之推荐信

英语应用文写作之推荐信

英语应用文写作之推荐信

推荐信的写作（The Writing of Letters of Recommendation）

在联系到国外学习或就业的过程中，往往需要以往的同事、上司或老师写一封推荐信。推荐信写得好坏意义重大，因为它关系到对被推荐人人品、能力及知识各个方面的评价。因此，在推荐信的写作中，首先需要对该信的用途加以了解，以便确定被推荐人是否适合这一职位或是否适合进入某一专业攻读学位或从事研究工作。推荐信应包括以下内容：

① 被推荐人全名；

② 推荐人与被推荐人认识时间的长短及其关系,如：(I have been Mr.Bowman’s immediate supervisor for the past six years.);③ 被推荐人的学识及其优秀的品质（最好有具体的事例加以证明）；

④ 被推荐人所申请的学校或机构对其感兴趣的理由，总结对被推荐人的信心，并主动提出如有必要的话，可以提供更多的有关被推荐人的资料。在推荐信的写作中，应注意以下几点：

1）推荐信一定要写得具体，可以用具体的事例说明被推荐人的长处。

2）即便被推荐人有许多优点，推荐信也应当集中在两三个方面。

3）在推荐信中，不要使用诸如下面这样的话：“I’d hire her in a minute if she were applying here” 或 “I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this scholarship.”。因为，推荐人只需要提供证明资料，并不需要做出任何决定。

下面请阅读庞加莱(Henri Poincare)1和居里夫人(Madame Curie)为爱因斯坦申请到苏黎世联邦工学院任教而写的推荐信。

Herr Einstein is one of the most original minds that we have ever met.In spite of his youth he already occupies a very honorable position among the foremost savants of his time.What we marvel at him, above all, is the ease with which he adjusts himself to new conceptions and draws all possible deductions from them.He does not cling to classical principles, but sees all conceivable possibilities when he is confronted with a physical problem.In his mind this becomes transformed into an

anticipation of new phenomena that may someday be verified in actual experience„ The future will give more and more proofs of the merits of Herr Einstein, and the University that succeeds in attaching him to itself may be certain that it will derive honor from its connection with the young master.”

Re: Steve Monk

Date: November 15 2005

Dear Sir:

I have known Steve Monk for four years.During his first two years at Isherwood Central High, he was a student in my Earth Science class and in my C.P.Biology class.During his junior year, I was Steve’s advisor for an independent study in biology, and this year he is carrying out an extracurricular research project for which I am providing some guidance.This young man is one of the brightest, most research-oriented students I have encountered in eighteen years of teaching.His SAT and achievement test scores only begin to tell the story.I understand he is sending you copies of several of his research projects;this will provide you with more evidence of his understanding of the principles of scientific inquiry, of his passion of exactitude, and of his bottomless curiosity.However, it is only in talking and working with Steve that the full extent of his talents is revealed.In writing you this letter, I hope to persuade you of one thing: to arrange a meeting between some of your science faculty and Steve.There is no doubt in my mind that you will be interested in this young man.I am much more concerned about his financial situation, and I believe that once you see what caliber of student and scientist Steve Monk is, you will find some way of dealing with his financial needs.I am very much interested in Steve’s situation and will be happy to provide any further information.Yours sincerely,(signature)
