感謝信是用于致謝他人的饋贈、款待、幫助,需寫明感謝他人的理由,信文要感情真摯,措辭得體。感謝信一般分為三個部分:
第一段:表達感謝之情并說明原因;
第二段:細述并贊賞對方給予的幫助;
第三段:再次闡述謝意并表達回報愿望。
【寫作指導】
1. 有序組織要點
首先,應當友善地對對方的生活表示關心;其次,應明確陳述寫信的目的,即致謝;然后,應肯定對方的幫助恰當好處;最后,應對對方給予的幫助再次表示感謝并傳達良好的祝愿。
2. 靈活把握時態
感謝信的正文中的時態靈活多變。通常,在提到對方曾經所給予的幫助時,應用過去時態;在提到對方的幫助所產生的實際效果時,可以使用現在完成時態;在涉及到現狀時,應用一般現在時;在表達祝愿或希望時,使用一般將來時態。
3. 運用規范的語言
感謝信有其自身的特色語言,在行文的每一個環節也有一些常用句型。另外表示從對方的幫助中獲益時,可以使用多種句型進行表達,要讓句式靈活多樣,這樣更能增強表達效果。
4. 表達感激之情
感謝信的主要目的在于向對方致謝,因此語言要誠摯,友善;在信的開頭和結尾部分一般會使用 Thank you very much for your kindness and deep concerned; Thanks again and wish you all the best之類的語言來表達感激之情。
