信函从类别上分类包括以下几种类型：建议信、投诉信、求职信、辞职信、感谢信、道歉信、表扬信、询问信等。从信函对象来分的话，包括私人信函和公务信函。
    
    一、英文书信格式
    
    缩进式：称呼顶格写，正文每段第一行向后缩进4个字母，段与段之间不空行，落款位于中间偏右的位置。
    
    齐头式：称呼、正文和落款均顶格写。正文中，段与段之间空一行。
    
    考研(微博)应用文万学海文英语考研辅导老师们建议大家采用缩进式格式。
    
    ★ 称呼
    
    书信写作的称呼语大致分为两种情况：

注：president的含义：总统、董事长、总裁、大学校长、会长、主席等。

    ★ 正文
    
    考研应用文一般有三点提纲，即三个内容要点。因此，考生应严格按照大纲要求写成三句，每句表达一个提纲要点，顺序不要打乱，做到文字条理清晰，简明准确。书信作文一般7~8句，使用3~5个关联词，3~5个从句，首尾两段可套用一些固定句型。
    
    ★ 落款
    
    a) 落款包括结束语和署名两部分。
    
    b) 结束语是表示礼节的套语，写在正文下面两三行处的右侧，从中间写起，第一个词的开头字母要大写，末尾用逗号。一般为“Yours sincerely/truly,”，根据考研大纲，署名一致为Li Ming，注意不能写自己的真实姓名。另外，考研书信类不要求写日期。
