英文信函按其功用不同又可分为:邀请信，对邀请信的复信，感谢信，介绍信，求职信明。
(1)邀请信
写邀请信要用上一些发出邀请的短语和句型：
Can／Could you come to...?
We would be very happy if you could join us.
It would be very nice to see you here with us.
典型例文：
Dear Professor Wang,
On behalf of the Ohio State University and the IEEE Computer Society, I would be very pleased to invite you to attend 2004 International Conference on Computer Science to be held in Bellaire, Michigan, from October 25 to October 28, 2004.
We sincerely hope that you could accept our invitation. If you can come, please let us know as soon as possible, since we have to prepare the final program soon. We are looking forward to your acceptance.
Sincerely yours,
Peter White
(2)复信
在接到邀请后，可以回信接受或拒绝。不管是否接受，都要先表示感谢邀请。若接受，应表明自己很高兴参加该项活动；若拒绝，要婉转地拒绝并写出拒绝原因。最后还要祝愿活动成功。
在拒绝邀请时要使用婉转的语言，可用下列表达方式：
I’d love to come, but I can't because...
I’m terribly sorry I cannot come to...for I'm going...
I’m afraid I will not be able to...because...
典型例文：
Dear peter,
Thank you for your letter of October 25. I haven’t written sooner as I were busy preparing for my mid--term exams. We are having a party on 11th November at our house for my sister’s 15th birthday and we hope you can come. It only happens once a year! The party will start at 6 p.m. and will go on until late! I’m at home in the evenings. Please give me a call. We’re looking forward to seeing you.
loves,
Zhao Ning
(3)感谢信
感谢信可分为感谢馈赠、款待、送行、探病、帮助等。写感谢信一定要先交待为何要感谢对方。
典型例文：
Dear Jack,
I am writing to thank you for all the help you gave us in moving into our new flat.
As you know, my mother is in poor health and there is a lot of furniture. I know we would never have been able to move all the things into the new flat without your help.
I am arranging a housewarming party soon and I look forward to seeing you then.
Thank you again for everything you have done for us.
Yours,
Tian Bing
