飯店、旅館、戲院、飛機等的預訂
預訂、預約信件的種類較多，其中有旅館房間、飯店席位，影劇院、飛機座位等的預先約訂。這類信件要寫得簡明，要將內(nèi)容寫具體，如需要預訂房間的等級、類型、數(shù)量，以及預訂的具體期限等。有的預訂須注明付款方式。
如果預訂事宜有更動或是取消預訂，應在規(guī)定期限之內(nèi)通知對方，以免造成不必要的損失。

This will be a party of [eight people]， and a private dinning room would be preferable. We will need the services of a wine steward and we will choose our menu in advance.
Please let us have information as to the accommodations available， and the approximate cost， including gratuities， and tax， by return mail if possible.

On [Jan. 10] I reserved [two] tables for [12 people] for [breakfast] at [9 in the morning on Jan. 11] for our [executives] in the [inner room].
There has been a change in plans and the occasion will have to be postponed until [Jan. 14] at [8：30]. Will you be good enough to make the same arrangements for that date and send us a written confirmation？
Thank you very much.
Cordially，

If you accommodate us， please let us know the price of the tickets so we may send you a check without delay.
Cordially，

請假條
請假條包括病假條、事假條、續(xù)假條等。寫請假條主要把請假原因和請假時間寫清楚，請假的理由要講充分。同時也要注意內(nèi)容要簡單明了，開門見山說明情況，不必贅述。如果有證明請假原因的證據(jù)，如醫(yī)生證明、電報等好隨條附上。
1. 請病假（本人寫） Asking for sick leave written by oneself
（Sept. 17， 2004）

2. 請病假（代寫） Asking for sick leave written by someone else
[Oct. 8， 2004]
Dear [Miss Willams]，
Please excuse [Kate]'s absence from school [this morning]. [She] coughed a lot and had a high fever at [9 last night] and could not fall asleep until [midnight]. I felt it would not have been fair to the other children to allow [her] to attend school. So I am writing to ask you for [two] days' sick leave and will let [her] resume [her] study if [she] feels better [the day after tomorrow].
Yours respectfully，
[威廉斯小姐]：
請原諒[凱特][今早]不能到校上課。[她][昨晚9時]發(fā)燒并咳嗽的很厲害，一直到[半夜]才入睡。我覺得叫[她]去學校會影響其他孩子，現(xiàn)代請病假[兩]天。如果[后天][她]感覺好些，再讓[她]到校。
3. 續(xù)假條 Asking for an extension of leave
Prof. [Huang]，
I am still lying in bed with the [flu] and unable to get up. I enclose a certificate from the doctor who is attending on me， as [she] fears it will be another [two] days before I shall be able to resume my study. Please give an extension of leave for as many days.
Your student，
[Li Ming]
Encl . ： Doctor's Certificate of Advice
（黃）老師：

4. 教師的回條 Teacher's reply
Dear [Alice]，
Your [mother] tells me you have the [mumps] and must be absent for [half a month]. There are several others in the same condition. Do be careful while you are ill. Don't think of doing any homework. We'll have reviews when the sick ones all return. You can watch televi-sion or listen to radio programs to help pass the time while you recuperate. I asked （Sue） to bring you several [pop music tapes]， as [she] said you have a [tape-recorder] at home. I think you might find them nice.
We all miss you and shall be happy when you return.
Yours truly，
親愛的[艾麗斯]：
你[母親]告訴我，你患[腮腺炎]，必須休假[半個月].還有幾個同學情況也是這樣。在生病期間，要多注意休息，不要去想做作業(yè)。等生病的同學都回來了，我們將進行復習。你可以看看電視或聽聽廣播，以便幫助你在養(yǎng)病期間消磨時間。我已經(jīng)叫[蘇]給你帶去幾盤[通俗歌曲盒帶]，因為[她]說你家里有一臺[錄音機]. 我想你會覺得它們很好聽。
我們都很惦念你。當你回來時，我們將很高興。
