英文预约信

1. 文体介绍

这类预约e-mail 比较容易写，只要做到清楚、简洁、礼貌就行。它一般包括下列内容：

（1）请求约会并说明原因。

（2）建议确切的约会时间和地点等。如果你的时间比较充裕，预约时可给出你可接受的时间由对方决定。

（3）请对方答复并进行确认。

回复这类电子邮件可分为接受和拒绝两种。接受的内容一般有：表明来信收悉；表示接受；重述具体时间、地点等；表达希望会晤或感谢的心情。拒绝的内容一般包括：表明来信收悉；说明拒绝的原因；致歉。

当要变更预约时，应说明变更的原因，同时致歉。

(1) Subject: Request for an Appointment

Dear Mr. Smith:

I am scheduled to visit the US on business at the end of this month, and wish to call on you at your office on that occasion.

I will be arriving in Washington on or around August 20 and staying there for about a week. It would be very much appreciated if you would kindly arrange to meet with me either on August 22 or 23, whichever is convenient for you. If neither is convenient, could you please suggest an alternative date by return e-mail.

Thank you in advance for your kind cooperation. I am looking forward to meeting you in Washington soon!

Sincerely yours,

Li Lei
