What is the format of writing letters in French?

French letter writing includes: letterhead, document number, reason, recipient's address, date, title, text, signature and attachment.

1. The function of the letterhead is to let the receiver know the source of the letter and provide the contact information for reply.

The contents usually include: sending company name (Raison social de la Maison de commerce), enterprise logo (marque de fabrique), mailing address (adresses), telephone number (abbreviated as tél), fax number (fax or Té lé copy) and E-mail address (e-mail).

[Note: Some companies will directly provide writing paper with letterhead, and there is no need to fill it in]

2. The file number is used for the receiver and the sender to quickly know which letter the other party refers to, which is convenient for filing and future reference.

The content usually includes: a set of abbreviated information, including: document number, drafter's initials, input person, department code, etc.

Example:

The communication number: for example, V/Ré f.: J.B./J.D. 123 is a letter drafted by Juta Brown and entered by john davis with the number 123.

Article number: for example, N/réf:m. m. 32 1 indicates a letter drafted by our Mary Meyer, and our number is 32 1.

3. Purpose: It is convenient for the recipient to quickly understand the main contents of the letter or remind the recipient.

The content is usually: you can write a complete summary sentence or simply write a phrase. In order to stand out, you can also add underline, bold, all capitals and so on.

Example:

Objective: To request information.

Object: Invoice 12345

4. The contents of the recipient's address usually include: the recipient's name or the title of the person in charge, the recipient's company name, the recipient's address, etc.

When writing the recipient's address, you should pay attention to the following points:

1. In the recipient's name: Mr., Mrs. and Miss cannot use abbreviations;

2. If you write the title and position of the person in charge, you can't use abbreviations. For example, Mr. le Directeur cannot be written as M.le Directeur or Mr. le de;

3. Don't write Miss la directrice, even if the recipient has never been married, write Miss la Directrice; yuanFr.com

4. When writing postal code and city name, words can only be separated by spaces, not punctuation.

5. Date Business letters must be dated, which is very important for archiving.

Need to pay attention to the following points:

1. Separate place and date with comma ",";

2. In a formal letter, the first letter of "month" cannot be capitalized, such as février, and Fé vrier cannot be written;

3. Shanghai, Le13-1-2006 or Le13/1/2006 are not suitable, so try to avoid them.

6. You need to use honorifics when addressing.

Need to pay attention to the following points:

1. Use a comma after the address, such as "Mr. le directeur";

2. Write letters to married couples, regardless of their status, and write their names. Such as: Mr. and Mrs. Jean Vere;

3. If the recipient's address says the recipient's position (fonction), such as Mr. le Directeur de la? Production, when writing the title, it needs to be rewritten as the recipient's title (titre), that is, written as Directeur.yuanFr.com.

4. You can't use abbreviations when writing greetings.

7. The text is the most important part of the letter, and it should be concise, clear, correct, complete and polite. This can not only achieve the purpose of effective communication, but also increase the feelings of both sides.

8. Signature is a clear statement signed by the sender. No matter what method (handwriting, computer, printer, etc. ), leave four lines at the end of the text before signing.

[Note: If a formal letter is not signed, it is not only very impolite, but also has no legal effect]

Business letters generally include three parts: the sender's full name, the sender's signature and the sender's position.

9. Appendices usually refer to other documents sent with the letter. It usually appears as the abbreviation of P.J. in letters (sometimes attachments are also used to indicate attachments).
