感 謝 信
1.Introduction 概述
在日常生活和工作中,感謝信應用范圍很廣。當收到饋贈、邀請、赴宴、照顧、款待、慰問、吊唁、祝賀時,寫信道謝乃人之常情。在商務活動中,對雇員的建議,客戶的訂貨,供應商的優質服務,銀行、商會或友鄰的信息提供等等,均應寫信致謝。感謝信能幫助加強聯系、增進友誼、樹立企業的良好形象。
感謝信應態度誠懇、熱情洋溢,不能過于簡短,以免使收信人造成敷衍了事、言不由衷的錯覺。
感謝信通常包括如下內容:一是對對方的饋贈、幫助、關心和邀請等表示由衷的感謝,二是說明對方的饋贈、幫助、關心和邀請等所起的作用和對自己的意義,三是表示希望日后有機會定當答謝對方,并在結尾再次致謝。

(2)邀請信的特點是簡短熱情,形式較為靈活,一般為兩小段,將意思表達清楚即可。在盛大的場合,請帖應提前三星期發出,一般場合書寫邀請信,應在預定時間的前幾天發出,一邊收信人及早考慮和安排。收到請帖或信后,通常應立即答復,表明接受謝絕,以示禮貌。

A good example of memo
To:Dong Fang, Head Reference Librarian
From: Liu Jian, Reference Assistant
Subject: Implementing Open Shelves in the Reference
Section
Date:May 10, 2008
The purpose of this memo is to recommend a new shelving system for books in the reference section of our library.Following are(1)a background statement,(2)a discussion of the new system, and(3)recommendations.Background
Under the present system of closed shelves, students wishing to consult reference books must fill out a requisition slip, wait in line, give the requisition to a desk person, and wait some more time before receiving the desired book.This system is time-consuming, unwieldy, and ineffective.The result is that students do not like to use the reference facility of the library.New System
I propose that we switch to an open-shelf system at once.The transition can be made simply by eliminating the desk that forms the front of the reference section.The fear of theft that some people have voiced could be eliminated by using the magnetic detection system that is already in place.The benefit of open shelves would be a reduction in personnel and free access to a needed library resource.Recommendations
To implement the open-shelf system we should proceed with the following changes:
1.1.Eliminate the front reference desk.2.2.Maintain a central information desk.3.3.Reassign all but two librarians who presently work at the front reference desk.I am certain that these changes will do much to improve the service that this section of the library provides.
