One is to a new business partner. The other is to a friend. Please read and try to understand them. August 21, 2007 Dear Mr. Smith, I am writing to thank you for your hospitality during my recent trip to Germany.  It is always very useful to meet one’s business partners face to face, and I think we had some interesting discussions. I am look forward to seeing you when you visit London in September. Yours sincerely,Mark Howard September 29, 2007 Dear Peter, This is just a short note to thank you for a very pleasant evening while I was in New York. It is always good to see old friends again and it was very useful to exchange ideas. Please give me a ring next time you come to London. Perhaps we can meet for lunch. Best wishes! Mark 从上面的例子可以看出： 书面的感谢信是比较正式的表达方式，其内容包括：对对方提供的帮助、给予的接待或赠送的礼品表示衷心感谢；说明对方的帮助所起的作用或赠送的礼品非常好；再次表示感谢或问候对方。 感谢信的内容包括： 写感谢信的确切日期。 对于非正式的感谢信，可以使用收到的礼品上的名字。例如：此人名字是James,但礼品上用的“Jimmy”。你在感谢信上就可以用“Dear Jimmy...”。对于正式的感谢信，要以“Dear Mr. and Mrs. Brown...”开头。在信中要提及收到的礼品: “Thank you very much for the lovely candle sticks...”。 ● ● ● ● 告诉对方将如何使用此礼品:“We’ll have many romantic nights with these lovely candles...” or “John and I will think of you every time we make a toast...” or “It will keep me warm this winter when it’s cold and snowy outside...”。  ● ● 结束语：“Sincerely, Mary” , “Lovely, Mary” , “Affectionately, Mary” , “With Appreciation, Mary”。 时效性是感谢信的关键，一封真诚的感谢信要及时传递给收信人。发出感谢信的时间一般在一天至一周内最为合适。但是，迟到总比没有好。 必要时亲手写
