如何用英语投诉和道歉

 　　在现代办公生活中，我们越来越多地会用到英语，用英语发邮件，用英语写记录报告，或者用英语向上司写假条。本期“乘兴走笔”就来跟大家讲讲如何用英语写假条，也就是提前请假的状况下应该怎样写假条.

　　首先，假条的上方还是应该按照半正式的格式写上如下信息：

　　To：假条是递给谁的

　　From：请假人

　　Date：写假条的日期（注意不是请假的日期）

　　Subject：写上请假字样

　　假条抬头范例如下：

　　To: Peter Stone, Manager

　　From: Lynn Chen, Financial Department

　　Date: April 2nd, 2004

　　Subject: Casual Leave of Absence

　　其次，在您的请假信第一段，应该开门见山但是有礼貌地提出请假。第一段要中心明确，写清您要请假的日期。

　　第一段范例如下：

　　Peter, I would like to know if I could ask for a casual leave of absence for one day on April 4th, this Wednesday.

　　然后，在假条的第二段，您应该简单明了陈述请假的原因事由。注意叙述清楚明白，并尽可能表示对此带来工作不便的歉意。

　　第二段范例如下：

　　This morning I received a telephone call from my dentist, urging me to come to his practice for immediate¹ treatment of my teeth. I have been experiencing a stinging pain, depriving me of my sleep during the past fortnight. The situation could worsen, should infection occur.

　　Concerning my workload²: As Wednesday is not as busy as the other weekdays, I think a one-day leave this Wednesday may be the best solution. I apologize for the inconvenience my absence from work may cause.

　　接着，在假条的最后一段，应写上您希望获得准假的句子，或者具体等候答复的时间。

　　最后一段范例如下：

　　Thanks. I will call you at 1:30p.m. or you can call me at any time.

　　好，把以上几段综合起来，就是一则请假条，看看，是不是很简单？写得成功的请假条，能充分表明您是一个认真负责有条理的人，所以请多多练习吧。
