商业信函有其自身的特点。下面是商务书信写作中的几点注意事项，小心不要在你自己的工作中出现这样的错误哦！
1.切忌主客不分或模糊。例子: Deciding to rescind the earlier estimate, our report was updated to include $40,000 for new equipment.应改为 Deciding to rescind our earlier estimate, we have updated our report to include $40,000 for new equipment. (We决定呀, 不是report.)
2.句子不要零碎。
例子: He decided not to audit the last ten contracts. Because of our previous objections about compliance. 两个句子应该连在一起：He decided not to audit the last ten contracts because of our previous objections about compliance.
3.结构对称,令人容易理解。例子: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and the fact that the contract had been altered with ink markings. 应改为: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and ink alterations of the contract.
4.单复数不要搞乱，不然会好刺眼，看着不舒服。例如: An authorized person must show that they have security clearance. 应改为 Authorized persons must show that they have security clearance.
5.动词和主语要呼应。想想这两个句子的分别: 1. This is one of the public-relations functions that is under-budgeted. 2. This is one of the public-relations functions, which are under-budgeted.
6.时态和语气不要转换太多。看商务英语已经是苦事，不要浪费人家的精力啊。
7.标点要准确。例如: He did not make repairs, however, he continued to monitor the equipment. 应改为: He did not make repairs; however, he continued to monitor the equipment.
8.选词正确。像affect和effect，operative和operational等等就要弄清楚才好用啦。
9.拼字正确。有电脑拼字检查功能后，就更加不能偷懒。
10.大小写要注意。除非必要不要整个词都大写，除非要骂人。例如: MUST change to OS immediately. 外国人就觉得不礼貌和喝令人一样。要强调的话，用底线，斜字，粗体就可以了。本回答被提问者采纳

信函是公司的脸面，它对于公司树立良好的形象有着极为重要的意义。典型商务信函的内容应包括如下几点：
信头：一般来讲，商业信函均使用印有"letterhead"的公函信笺，这样信头就不必自己再写了。
信内地址：写在信纸的左上角，编号和日期下方。顺序是从小到大：
公司名称或收信人姓名、职务
房屋或大楼名称
大楼号码及所在街道或路的名称
省市名称及邮编
国家名称
称呼敬语：如知道对方姓名，就用Dear Mr./Mrs./Miss/Ms.加上姓，如不知道对方姓名，可用Dear Sir, Dear Madam, 也可用：To whom if may concern。如对方职务较高，则最好用其职务名称，如： Dear Prof. Smith, Dear Dr. Henson等。 称呼一家公司就用Dear Sirs 或Gentlemen。
正文
结束敬语：如称呼用Dear Sir/Dear Sirs/Dear Madam", 结束敬语就应用Yours faithfully。如称呼用Dear Mr. John/Dear Mr. Smith, 结束敬语就应用Yours sincerely。
署名
英文信函中讲究五C原则，也就是要求做到正确(Correctness)、清晰( Clearness )、简明( Conciseness )、完整( Completeness )和礼貌( Courtesy )。 信函的语调也是同样重要的，它表达了你对收信人的态度，适当的语调将会给双方创造良好的沟通气氛。
