（一）英文書信的組成
英文書信通常有包括以下幾部分:
1．信頭(Heading): 指寫信人的地址和寫信日期
信頭的目的是使收信人知道書信來自何處，何時發出。信頭一般位于信函的右上角，包括發信人的地址和寫信日期。
信頭的地址的寫法要注意英文和中文的不同，英文應遵循“先小后大”的原則，第一行寫門牌號和街道的名稱，第二行寫區、市名、省名、國家名。國家名之前加上郵政編碼。門牌名與街道名之間不用逗號隔開。最后一行寫上發信日期。日期一般有以下幾種寫法：
12th Sept, 2006 12 Sept, 2006 Sept. 12th, 2006
如，
Mr. Zhang Peng
Department of Foreign Language
Jiangxi Teachers’ College
Nanchang, Jiangxi Prov., 330241
P.R.C.
Sept. 12, 2006
2．信內地址(Inside Name & Address): 指收信人的姓名和地址
信內地址一般位于信函的左上角，位于信紙的左邊頂格，低于信頭一兩行寫起。
3．稱呼 (Salutation): 對收信人的稱呼用語
稱呼是寫信人對收信人表示尊敬的敬稱。稱呼從信紙的左端頂格寫起，比信內姓名和地址低一行，。稱呼有多種，視寫信人和收信人的關系而定。每個開頭字母用大寫，結尾用逗號不用冒號。
對男士的稱呼，多用Mr., 對女士的稱呼,多用Mrs., Madam, Miss或Ms.,但是需要注意的是,這些稱呼用在姓氏前或姓氏和名字前,但是不能使用在名字的前面。
4．正文(Body):
5．結束語(Complementary Close): 寫信人對收信人的謙稱
結束語從信紙的中間或稍右的地方寫起，位于正文下面空兩三行處。不同關系使用不同的結束語。
