2.邀請信一般分為正式和非正式兩種。熟悉的朋友之間可采用非正式的形式，即正文用第一人稱寫，稱呼也可以隨便一些。寫邀請信時(shí)要做到語言樸實(shí)，態(tài)度熱情，要說明邀請的原因、活動地點(diǎn)和時(shí)間。用詞要清晰明了；信函內(nèi)容應(yīng)簡短，不要使用太多描繪性語言。如果要求被邀請者答復(fù)，則要在信上注明“rsvp” （“請答復(fù)” ）或“please reply”。被邀請人在收到信后應(yīng)立即答復(fù)。
如果接受，應(yīng)先表示感謝和被邀請的喜悅心情，而且需要重復(fù)寫明出席的時(shí)間和地點(diǎn)。如果謝絕，除了表示謝意之外，還需要表達(dá)失望或遺憾之感，然后具體說明不能履約的原因。邀請信及其回復(fù)的常用句型：
①we would like to invite you to……
②how about coming……
③i‘d be very pleased （ happy， delighted ） to accept （ come to ） ……
④thank you for your……
⑤thank you for your invitation. ……but unfortunately……
⑥i am sorry but i simply can‘t come……

3.祝賀信是表示慶祝的書信。在西方風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣中，遇到重大的節(jié)假日，比如新年、圣誕節(jié)、生日等以及親朋好友之間遇到了什么喜事都應(yīng)寫信致以問候或贈送禮品。賀信的寫作要注意主題明確，中心突出，情感真摯但切記不要言過其實(shí)，評價(jià)要恰當(dāng)，要表現(xiàn)出真誠的喜悅和祝賀。另外，代表單位的賀信應(yīng)較為正式，措詞要嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)、謙恭。祝賀信常用語：
①congratulate you on……
②it was great to hear that you……
③with my whole congratulations and best wishes for……
④luck and success in the coming year！
⑤please accept our best and sincere wishes for the new year！
⑥hearty congratulations and all good wishes on this wonderful day in your life！
