A级冲刺-作文概要(8)之邀请信
邀请信
【写作策略】
在现代社会交往中,人与人之间感情的维系正是通过日常的聚会或聚餐活动。邀请信就是用于邀请他人参加某项活动并且告知相关事宜的一种常见的信函类型。具体来说,既包括邀请他人参加宴会、婚礼、舞会等家人朋友间的聚会这一类非正式场合,又包括邀请参加国际会议、开业庆典、访问考察、仪式等比较正式的社交场合。在使用时,根据活动的性质不同,措辞、口吻有所差别,但语气都应该尽量婉转、态度诚恳,让对方读后产生亲切的感觉。 一般来说,邀请信的首段会表明邀请者的具体情况、与收信人的相关性以及发出邀请的原因,然后具体交待活动的内容及日程安排,并在结尾的时候诚恳地要求对方接受邀请。如果有必要的话,还可以要求对方回复。
当收到邀请信后,出于礼貌,都应该复信明确表达是否接受邀请,以便对方及时做出安排。一般来说,回函如果表示接受,应该表达对邀请者的感谢和受到邀请后的喜悦之情;如果确实不能接受,也应该委婉的谢绝,言辞真诚,尽可能减少对邀请者情绪的伤害。具体来说,首先应对对方的邀请表示衷心的感谢,然后说明自己不能赴约的原因,并表达自己因失去这样的机会而感到失望、遗憾,最后表达自己的歉意及对活动的良好祝愿。 【真题回眸】

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing this letter to complain about a camera, which I bought in your shop last month when I was in Guangzhou on business. I took some pictures there with it.

Yours faithfully, Wang Lan 【举一反三】 December 2
