感谢信

　　感谢信是一种礼仪文书，用于商务活动中的许多非协议的合同中，一方受惠于另一方，应及时地表达谢忱，使对方在付出劳动后得到心理上的收益，它是一种不可少的公关手段。感谢信是集体单位或个人对关心、帮助、支持本单位或个人表示衷心感谢的函件。感谢信是文明的使者，从文体来说，它属于应用文体。在日常生活和工作中，得到人家的帮助和支持，可用这种文体“感谢”一下。它与表扬信有许多相似之处，所不同的是感谢信也有表扬信的意思，但是重点在感谢。

　　这类应用文是有套句的：

　　致谢内容，交代感谢原因：

　　I am writing to tell you how much I enjoyed the weekend in your village.

　　I am writing to express my appreciation for all that you did for me during my visit in Shanghai.

　　I am writing to tell you how much I appreciate your hospitality.

　　Thank you so much for your assistance/ for the information your gave us.

　　进一步解释对方的帮助给自己带来的好处，再次致谢， 回馈承诺：

　　Please accept my warmest thanks,I hope I have the chance to reciprocate your kindness.

　　① 收到邀请之后的回礼和感谢

　　请参考“怎么写邀请函——十二类便条式应用文写作点评之一”学习邀请函的写法。

　　Dear Peter,

　　I’m writing to show my gratitude for your invitation to your birthday party. That was a really wonderful party. I appreciate your considerate arrangement and wonderful performance you had prepared. And it also offered me a chance to meet many old friends. I really enjoyed that night and I do hope you will have a wonderful life.

　　Yours,

　　Fiona

　　点评：本类感谢信的主要思路是要表达自己的感谢目的，强调这段经历非常宝贵(有价值、有趣等)，再次表达感谢和良好祝愿。

　　Dear Professor Chen,

　　It is just three weeks since I consulted you on how to write a research paper and I’d like to assure you that I really appreciate your help.

　　Your advice has been very valuable, and I have read the books recommended by you with gratifying results. I have finished my research paper, and I owe it to your help. I would like to express my gratitude, along with my best wishes.

　　Respectful Yours,

　　Amelia

　　点评：本类的主要思路是：感谢对方的帮助(或简述对方帮助的内容，即写作目的)，紧接着简述对方如何帮助到了自己，自己的收获是什么，最后还是不要忘记再次感谢or“谨以美好祝愿”啦～
