请柬也称请帖,有正式和非正式两种。非正式请柬就是常说的邀请信或邀请条,多用于亲戚朋友之间。正式请柬需要一定的格式书写,主要用于婚礼、丧礼、宴会、舞会、招待会、展览会等隆重开闭幕式、大型晚会、庆祝大会及其他正式社交场合。请柬包括称呼语、正文和结束语三大部分。正式请柬一般用第三人称。在英美国家,邀请者如同在,应把两人的名字都列出。

发出邀请C——写给长辈,“我能和您约在XX见面吗”

April 20, 2010

Dear Professor Zhou,

I am Amelia from class 052; I need you to give me some suggestion on my project. If it doesn’t trouble you too much, shall we have a meet at your office tomorrow? Time is up to you.

Respectful yours,

点评:本类邀请函是由于对象是师长,不得不采用正式的格式和对方实现约见。因此注意使用敬语和“时间地点由你定”的表达。
主要思路是:叙述清楚自己要求见面的原因——自己方便的时间段——希望对方能抽空相见的迫切心情——表达感谢之情。

点评:本邀请函的对象为群体,因此有点类似通知的格式。与其他邀请函不同的是,这里可以使用号召式的结尾。
