得體的電子郵件寫作的4個步驟

　　電子郵件不只是填寫郵箱地址、主題和草草寫幾句那么簡單。與其它書面溝通相似，發送一封電子郵件也需謹記恰當的格式，尤其是商務電子郵件。

　　1.首先要確定你的收件人郵箱地址是否正確。

　　If you don't, it will come back to you as undeliverable. Type in the email address in the "TO" box.

　　如果地址不正確，郵件會由于無法投遞而被退回。把郵箱地址輸入“收件人”框。

　　2.確定郵件的主題。

　　The topic is what should go in the "RE" box. Be specific, because the recipient may not know you; if she can't determine what the email is about, then she may hit the delete button--or worse, flag it as spam. Keep the email short and succinct. The first word of the title should be capitalized; all other words--unless proper nouns--should be in lower case.

　　主題是需要寫在“添加主題”框里的。明確主題，因為收件人未必認識你，如果不確定郵件內容，也許會直接刪除或標記為垃圾郵件。保持郵件內容的簡短精煉。標題首字母需要大寫，除此之外采用小寫(專有名稱除外)。

　　3.接著開始輸入發給收件人的信息。

　　Even if the email is more casual, like an email to a friend or family member, take the time to prevent typographical errors, use proper form and use spell-check. To use spell-check, click on the icon marked "spelling" or "Spell check" and it will check the body of the email for errors and suggest corrections. After you have written the body of the message, read it out loud to yourself to make sure you've used proper English and haven't omitted any text.

　　即使是一封日常的電子郵件，比如發送給朋友或者家人的，也要花些時間避免輸入錯誤，確保格式正確，并進行拼寫檢查。使用拼寫檢查的方法是點擊“拼寫”或“拼寫檢查”圖標，系統就會檢查郵件正文中是否有拼寫錯誤，提出改正建議。在你寫完郵件正文之后，自己再大聲朗讀一下，確保使用了恰當的語言，并且沒有遺漏任何信息。

　　4,結束郵件時要采用諸如“最誠摯的”、“此致敬禮”之類的結語，然后加上你的名字。

　　If this is a business email, you should always type your email address and your telephone number below your name, as well as any other pertinent information such as your company and your title. Once you are satisfied with your email, click "Send."

　　如果是一封商務郵件的話，你還需要在名字下方加上你的電子郵箱地址和電話號碼，以及其它重要信息，如你的工作單位以及職務頭銜等等。當你對郵件感到滿意了，就可以點擊“發送”啦。
