商务信函共通的特征是什么?
和任何一篇普通文章一样:开头、中间和结尾。但是由于撰写的目的不同,每个部分的内容也会因此发生改变。
下面7种类型来自《Powerful Business Writing》,供大家参考。
其中B代表开头(Beginning),M代表中间(Middle),E代表结尾(End)。
1. Information or acceptance 提供信息、表示接受
B:引入话题
M:讨论或解释
E: 表达你希望对方采取的行动
2. Sales or persuasion 销售、说服对方
B:通过提出一个理念或提供一项产品服务来吸引对方注意
M:使用一系列事实,晓之以理、动之以情

M:描述你需求的原因
E:请求帮助并表示感谢
4. Complain 抱怨
B:说明问题出处
M:提供充足的细节,以便对方帮助
E:表达你希望对方采取的行动
5. Rejection 拒绝
B:对对方表示同情,拉近关系
M:将拒绝委婉提出,并且放在中间。说明拒绝的原因时也要给对方留情面
E:强调对于该局面的积极面
6. Collection 征收
