用英語寫 Email 時第二行「問好欄」應該寫些什麼？

01-13

中文email中一般在開頭稱呼後面另起一行書寫【見信安！你好！】之類的東西，英文的email在相同位置該寫些什麼呢？
好心的答題者最好分門別類地介紹一下？我想寫給上司，教授，朋友，基友應該各有不同吧^_^
thx !

對不很熟的工作關係，如果想客氣一點，可以說hope this mail finds you well. 或者也可以回想一下前一次相遇（如果有的話），例如it was nice meeting you in XXX, 然後就可以開始說正事了，沒啥特定禮節。

如果對方是回復你的郵件，可以來一句thanks for your (prompt/kind) reply啥的。

不過郵件最後確實建議客氣一下，sincerely啥的已經完全過時了，如果是希望對方認真回復可以加一句thank you for your attention. 最後可以Best regards也可以Regards，這裡沒人挑。

一般我的郵件格式大致如下，僅供參考：

Dear Mr./Mrs/... XXX,

How are you? / It is our honor having opportunities starting business with you. / Good morning, afternoon, evening, day... / Thank you for your email / prompt reply. / It was nice having conversation with you....

TEXTTEXTTEXTTEXT.....

Looking forward to your prompt reply. / Looking forward to our farther cooperation.

Best Regards.

NAME NAME

COMPANY NAME

節日郵件需另加修飾，格式則不同。

關於你說的問候部分的分類，以上面所提到的那些，個人認為如下：

How are you? 所有人

It is our honer having oppotunities starting business with you. 潛在客戶

Good morning, afternoon, evening, day... 所有人

Thank you for your email / prompt reply.不是親近之人

It was nice having conversation with you. 不是親近之人

朋友的話要容易的多

How are you? How are you doing? How is it going? Hi.

It"s been a while.....

寫給愛人的話，就別扯淡了，見面才是正經的

------------------2014-12-26補充-----------------

以下是我收到的來信格式，以供參考。

Dear XXX,

Greetings from XXX. / Hope you would be fine doing well at your place. / Kindly note that we are interested in XXXXX. / We understand that your company provides XXXXX. Please note that our customers requires XXXXX.

TEXTTEXTTEXT.

Awaiting for you reply. / Awaiting your soonest response. / Your prompt reply will be (highly) appreciated. / We look forward to hearing from you at the earliest. / Looking forward to your early and positive reply. / Hope to hear soon from you. / Looking forward to receive your enquiries at the earliest. / Hope to get your quick positive reply.

Thanks and Regards. / Warm Regards. / Yours Sincerely. / Kind Regards.

NAME NAME

COMPANY NAME

以上是我一年內收到來信中摘取的格式。其實這些相信大家也都看得明白，但還是簡單歸類一下。如下：

問候

Greetings from XXX. 所有人

Hope you would be fine doing well at your place. 非親近之人

Kindly note that we are interested in XXXXX. / We understand that your company provides XXXXX. Please note that our customers requires XXXXX. 潛在客戶

結束

Awaiting for you reply. 非親近之人。以10分為最急切，4分急切感

Awaiting your soonest response.非親近之人。5分急切感

Your prompt reply will be (highly) appreciated. 非親近之人。7分急切感，加HIGHLY 9分，想加到10分可以在之前用URGENT之類的表達

We look forward to hearing from you at the earliest.非親近之人。5分急切感。

Looking forward to your early and positive reply. 非親近之人。5分急切感。

Hope to hear soon from you. 非親近之人。5分急切感。

Looking forward to receive your enquiries at the earliest. 非親近之人。客戶開發信。5分急切感。

Hope to get your quick positive reply.非親近之人。5分急切感。

以上結束語大部分可以做通用格式做簽名用，所以來信實際的急切感和結尾並不會十分貼合，除非有相熟客戶忽然變了格式，增加急切感。

關係好的客戶如果沒有通用格式，那結束語除了Regards，別說Best Regards，甚至連Regards都省了。

Thanks and Regards. / Warm Regards. / Yours Sincerely. / Kind Regards.

我客戶大部分都是印度阿叉，以上表達式也都是選英語不錯的摘取。英語不甚好的或已經較熟絡的，一般除了regards就沒有別的了，直接單刀直入。畢竟大家都很忙，一般尋單信都很簡略，關鍵詞列出來就完了。客戶開發信則需要細緻雕琢鍊字。

以上，供參考。

常見的有「三明治」問候模式，email起頭一句問候，結尾一句問候。目的：讓對方開始讀信時心情愉快，「這廝還惦著我！」；讀完信心情振奮，「我的能量級又被激發了N個本徵態」。總要讓每天處理幾十封郵件的信奴感到一絲熱度吧。不過如果email已經進入第二回合，就不用上面那層麵包；要是很熟的人，直接給夾心就好了。

Dear X/Hello X/Hi X,

然後一句問候：

I hope you』re well.

I hope you are doing well.

I hope all is well.

I hope all is well since we last spoke.

I hope this email finds you well.

Thanks for your quick response.

Thanks for your introducing me to John.

然後正文：blah blah blah。正文就像三明治里的夾心肉，一層代表一段的話，一層就夠，兩層正好，就不要放三層了。

最後一句問候結尾：

Thanks so much for helping me out with this.

I look forward to your response.

I look forward to meeting you.

I wish you have a great vacation/trip/break.

就我收發過的所有英文郵件，基本都是第一行 Dear XXX 或者 Hi Mr. XXX

然後第二行就開始談正事了。

根據對方的地位和跟你的關係，選擇不同的稱謂，如果很熟了我基本連這一行都省了直接談正事。

記得順便在信的最後加一句

Best Regards

和署名

Dear Questioner:

Thank you for your email/Good morning/Good afternoon.

This is an example of how to write a professional email. I think you should write all your emails professionally. However, if when you receive a reply presented in a casual way, it is OK for you follow his/her writing style.

With best wishes,

Clive Chen

工作郵件的話，一般Good day!或者 Good time！都可以，或者直接講正事。

Hope you are well!

Hope you have a nice day(weekend)!

Happy Christmas! (適用於各種節日)

dears,

pls kindly note that…

B.R.

xxxxxx

第二欄一般都是：How are you, my friend? Thank you for 巴拉巴拉的……

我一般第一行是：

"Hi, xxx,"

然後就開始說正事了……

咱們初中高中老師教咱們的方法雖然沒錯但是很不自然可以用一些替換詞語

比如把hi dear xxx 換成 Greeting 把yours 換成 sincerely yours 或者 regards 之類的

漢語的客套話要正文前後各一處，英文一般只在正文後一處，email相對於紙質信更寬鬆：倘若關係近連後面的省略也沒關係；倘若是長輩或者不熟的人，就正文後寫上。但開頭不寫，開門見山。
