来到国外了，大家不免要开始进入全英文模式。
发邮件，可能就是一件最头疼的事情：要联系学校、联系老师、申请工作或者志愿者等。。。那怎么写比较妥当呢？
来看看歪果仁自己是怎么发邮件的。
1
Opening greeting
可以用：
To whom it may concern*

To: The sales team

Dear John/ Mr Smith/ Mrs Smith/ Ms Smith/ Miss Smith/ Dr Smith

Hi (John)【不正式】
Hello (again)【不正式】
John【不正式】
(nothing)【不正式】
Dear Sir or Madam/ Dear Sir*/ Dear Sirs*
如果是写给教授
Always use a greeting. 不要用 "Hey", "Hi" 等不正式greetings. 一般来说，你应该用"Dear Professor Last-name." 如果instructor does没有PhD, refer to them as "Professor" unless instructed otherwise. Taking a chance with "Mrs" "Mr." or "Ms." instead of "Dr." or "Professor" runs the risk of insult to the professor. 

如果professor在回复你邮件时，签名用的是first name, it is still best to address him or her as "Dr. Last-name" or "Professor Last-name" in an email. Do not use the professor's first name unless you have been explicitly invited to do so. You should also be sure to spell your professor's name correctly.

可以用（万能句式出现，keep！）：

以下内容转自豆瓣
一、“公用”邮件结尾：
1. Regards / Best Regards（BR）
“真挚问候”，这是最广为使用的商务邮件结尾，如果你第一次给对方写信，用这个就行了。
2. Sincerely / Sincerely Yours / Yours Sincerely
“鄙人敬上”，适用性广。教科书一般都会教你用这个，但同时也造成了过度频繁使用的问题。
3. Cordially
“热忱问候”，虽然看上去是这样的意思，但是这个结尾多用在比较严肃的信件中，甚至能用在有“对抗情绪”的信件里。
二、“公私”皆可邮件结尾：
1. Yours / Yours Truly / Truly
“忠实于你”，这种结尾比较私人化，不过也很讲礼貌，同样可用于商务邮件，在互相认识的人之间使用。
2. Best / Best Wishes
“衷心祝愿”，这个不仅可以写给朋友，还可以写给陌生人，是比较轻松的礼貌结尾，也可用于商务邮件。
三、“私用”邮件结尾：
1. Love
“爱你的”，这个结尾富有情感，适合在给爱人、家人及密友之间的私人信件中作为结尾。
2. Cheers
“欢欣鼓舞”，在朋友和关系较熟的同事之间使用，就像平常打招呼一样轻松随意。
3. Take care
“保重身体”，在朋友之间使用，可以表示对对方的关怀。
4. Thanks / Thank You
“表示谢意”，如果你在信中请求别人做事或帮助你的话，就可以写这个结尾。其中“Thanks”比较随意，“Thank You”比较正式。
如果是写给教授
Sign it with your name and your student ID number (but never your Social Security number).
Use your first and last name, and even if you know that your professor knows you by name, include your course and section information below your name. You will save her having to figure out what course and section you're talking about if she needs to look up something about the course in order to answer your question
好咯，主页君就帮你到这啦。。。
祝小伙伴都棒棒哒！！！
