专题 4.1.1 高考英语 应用文写作之书信和电子邮件类
感谢信、道歉信和申请信
一、考情分析
（一）感谢信
感谢信从文体来说属于应用文体。在日常生活和工作中，为了感谢其它企业或者个人对自己的业务支
持、协助而写的礼仪信函。与致辞、贺信等等一样，感谢信函的公关功能要比商务内容大得多。西方的通
常做法，逢年过节，或者客户向你或者公司提了建议、善意的批评，或者时机恰当，都会寄出书面的致谢
信，向对方的长期合作、支持、甚至正常的订货、付款等业务活动表示感谢。虽然如今打电话的确方便，
但是如果事件较大、场合正式，打过电话依然需要撰写书面的感谢信，寄送方式当然可以利用电子邮件。
感谢信的写作格式与一般信函大同小异。
感谢信的特点主要体现在内容的组织结构上：
①对于感谢的对象一定要准确，因而对方的姓名、称呼、职务必须具体、明确；
②因为什么具体事情表示感谢对方，务必让对方弄明白：一定要说明对方的帮助产生了什么样的效果
和客观影响；
③表示感激的话一定要说出来，表达不要吞吞吐吐、太过含蓄；
④热情赞扬对方的支持、协助精神，应该适当使用一些客套语；
⑤不要沿用汉语同类文本的套路，即不要表示“向你学习”、“以图厚报”之类；文字要精炼，表达
应清晰、准确、客观，篇幅应当短小。感谢、赞扬时，尽量要恰当得体，体现出自己的真诚感谢之情。感
谢信函的主要信息是表达感谢和感激的心情，不要说到其它一些无关紧要的内容。
一般书信的写作格式：通常有信头(Heading)、信内地址(Inside Address)、称呼(Salutation)、正文
(Body)、结束语(Closing)、签名(Signature)等几个部分组成。
Heading：发信人的地址(有时还包括电话号码)和发信日期
Inside Address ：收信人的姓名(有时还包括头衔)和地址
Body：1)陈述主要信息或信函的目的 2)详细陈述 3)限制或限度(补充说明) 4)总结
Closing: Best, Best regards, Sincerely(Truly, Respectfully) yours,
感谢信开头段常用句式和套话：
I am writing to extend my sincere gratitude for...
I am writing to express my thanks for...I am writing to show my sincere appreciation for...
I would like to convey in this letter my heartfelt thanks to you for...
I feel deeply indebted to you and I really don’t know how to thank you enough for your help.
感谢信结尾段常用句式和套话：
I must thank you again for your generous help.
I am most grateful for your selfless donation.
My true gratitude is beyond the word’s description.
I feel most obliged to thank you once more.
Please accept my gratitude, now and always.

people. By participating in these activities, both in and out of school, not only have we experienced the importance
of teamwork, but also developed a sense of responsibility.
