便條就是一種簡單的書信，內(nèi)容簡短，大多是臨時性的留言、要求等。是在有急事需告訴別人而又不能面談時，就可以寫便條，如請假條、留言條等等，一般不寫地址，與普通書信基本相同。具有用途廣泛、形式簡單、文字要求不嚴格的特點。便條都不用郵寄。
例一：請假條。
寫請假條時，如有醫(yī)生出具的證明，好一起附上。
Dear Mr.Pike，
I very much regret I was unable to attend school this morning owing to a severe attack of illness. I am enclosing here with a certificate from the doctor who is attending me, as he fears it will be several days before I shall be able to resume my study. I trust my enforced absence will not give you any serious inconvenience.
Sincerely yours
Jack
親愛的派克先生：
非常抱歉，我因今晨突然生病不能前來上課?，F(xiàn)附上醫(yī)生證明，醫(yī)生擔(dān)心我也許要幾天后才能上課。希望我這次身不由己的缺勤不致給您帶來很大的麻煩。
忠實于您的
杰克
例二：留言條。
可用于說明一件事、做活動安排以及詢問等等，應(yīng)直截了當(dāng)。寫留言條，日期部分寫在右上角，一般只寫星期幾，或星期幾上午、下午或具體鐘點。
8:30 A. M.
Dear Peter:
I have done all my things here. I sincerely thank you for the trouble you have taken for my sake. I am leaving for home by train at two this afternoon. This is to say good-bye to you. Please kindly remember me to your wife.
Yours ever,

親愛的彼特：
我在這里的事情已經(jīng)全部辦好。這次麻煩你了，我萬分感激。我定于今天下午兩點乘火車返家，特來辭行，并請代向你的妻子問好。
