新加坡的通用合同分五部分：
第一部分：称为parties, 主要介绍合同各方的姓名或名称，注册地国及地址、邮编及各自在合同的简称。开头框架一般为：
THIS AGREEMENT is made the ---------__________ day of _____ (month),____
(year) between A _______ (hereinafter called "The Company") of the part and
B______, (hereinafter called "The Manager") of the other part.
句子开头THIS AGREEMENT
或CONTRACT和当事人的姓名和名称，都应大写。当事人是自然人的，用“of”和其后的住址相连;是法人或非法人单位的，用“having its
registered office at”和其后注册地址相连。
第二部分：称为recital。以WHEREAS开头，进入叙述部分，用陈述正式说明当事人订立合同的原因。
第三部分：称为habendum，正文。具体约定当事人的权利和义务。正文部分的结束段为：
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have set their hand the day and year
first above written.
这段作用相当于中文合同的“双方签字盖章，特此为证”。
第四部分：称为schedule或addendum，附录。是对前述合同部分条款的必要补充。不是所有合同都有这一项。
第五部分：称为attestation，证明部分。当事人如果自然人，用“SIGNED by __” 英文写作翻译;连接后填写见证姓名的表达部分“In
the presence of ____”;当事人是法人或非法人单位时，授权代表后接的是“SIGNED for and on behalf _____
of____”，然后才是In the presence of _______。与中文合同的显著不同是签章处除当事人外，多了一个In the presence
of _______供证人签字之处。另一不同的是合同订立日期没有放在合同最后，而是出现在开头段的当事人介绍部分。
第五部分在新加坡还有另一种表达
As Witness our Hands this _____day of _____，in the year of our Lord Tow
Thousand and One.
Signed, sealed, and delivered by the above named
In the presence of
Signature
Address
Occupation
上述合同的格式很有代表性，其它英文格式与之相比大同大异，有的合同中不含附录。
B. 美国
APPOINTMENT AS CONTRACT FULL-TIME SENIOR CUSTOMS ADMINISTRATOR
AN AGREEMENT FOR SERVICES made the 1st day of September, 2000 between
______ of _____ (address)(hereinafter referred to as "the Company") as one part
and Mr._______ of _______(address) (hereinafter referred to as the Contractor)
of the other part.
WHEREBY IT IS AGREED AND DECLARED AS FOLLOWS:
1. THAT the Company shall …
2. This agreement shall commence on ….
3.
4.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, both parties set their hands on the date herein
mentioned
SIGNED BY
Name :
Designation :

Contractor :
Designation :
For and on behalf of : (signature)
本合同分为四个大部分(缺附录，schedule)。与上一合同基本相同，但第一段没有谓语，不是个完整的句子。个别用词与前一合同有差别。最后落款处还多了了“职务”，即designation(有的合同还惯用position).
C. 香港

比起前两个合同，该买卖合同的不同之处于在于，合同开头出现了合同编号和签署日期，当事人名称或姓名采用简单列举式。证明部分用完成时被动态，最后落款处SIGNED
BY项目，但增加了最终用户一项。
D. 日本
SERVICE AGREEMENT
This agreement is made and entered into on March 1st ,2001, by and
between______ LTD (hereinafter referred to as "PARTY A"), and ________CO., LTD.
((hereinafter referred to as "PARTY B")
WITNESSTH:

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
executed by their respective duly authorized officers as of the date first
herinabove written.
______ Ltd. ________ Co., Ltd.
(signature) (signature)
MANAGING DIRECTOR MANAGING DIRECTOR
该合同也由四大部分构成，与上述合同最大的不同在于，在叙述部分上端加了一个WITNESSETH(鉴于)，最后落款处也没有SIGNED BY
项目，但授权签字代表的职位真接打出来，放在签字的下一行。别外，当事人的简称部分用的都是大写。
相比之下，英文合同除个别地方外，整个合同的段落排列，句式和用词大同小异。在草拟英文合同时，只要仿用上述任何一个，都算是地道的英文表达。
