书信类一

(一) 2005-2009大纲样题： Dear Sir or Madam,

As I am planning to take the National Entrance Test of English for MA/MS Candidates (NETEM) , I have decided to place an order of some NETEM books with due consideration of the good reputation of your bookstore and the high quality of your books.

Firstly, please give me particular accounts as regards names, authors, publishing houses and prices of these books. Secondly, I also need to know the terms of payment and after-sell service. Thirdly, I wonder if it is convenient for you to deliver these books by EMS to the headquarters of Beijing New Oriental School by September 1, 2008.

I would like to express my gratitude for your kind consideration of my requests. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

尊敬的先生或女士：

由于我计划参加全国硕士研究生入学考试英语考试，充分考虑到贵书店的良好声誉和书籍的优良品质，我决定订购一些考研英语书籍。

首先，请给我关于这些书的书名、作者、出版社、价格的详细信息。其次，我也想知道付款方式和售后服务。第三，我想知道您是否方便把这些书通过特快邮政专递在2008年9月1日前送到北京新东方学校总部。

非常感谢您好心考虑我的请求。期待着尽快得到您的答复。

您真诚的，

李明

书信类二 Dear Mr. Wang,

I am much grateful to be employed by you two months ago as an editor for your magazine Design & Fashions. I appreciate the opportunity of having worked here with you

and other colleagues. The experiences will be unforgettable throughout my life.

However, as a young man whose primary interest is in computer science rather than fashion designing, I find my present job doesn't fall in with my previous training and strength. I therefore decide to quit this job for something else that may conform to my former preparation. Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconveniences my leaving may occur.

Yours truly,

Li Ming

尊敬的王先生：

十分感激您两个月之前聘用我为杂志《设计与时尚》的编辑。我非常珍惜这个和您以及其他同事共事的机会。这将是我一生中的难忘经历。

但是，对于一个喜欢计算机科学远多于时尚设计的年轻人来说，我认识到目前的工作并不符合我的教育背景与个人能力。因此，我决定辞职，找一份与我从前教育背景相关的工作。
