Inviting Friends to a Birthday Party
Invitation
Dear Ruth,
Next Friday, September the fifth, is Tom's birthday. I thought it would be pleasant to have some of his friends here to help him celebrate. Will you come? We'll have dancing from nine until midnight, and then cut the birthday cake!
Both Tom and I are very eager to have you here, so don't disappoint us!
Affectionately yours,
Li Hua

Dear Li Hua,
Thank you for your invitation to join you at Tom's birthday party on next Friday, September the fifth. I'm free for the party on that day, and will be glad to meet and talk with you about our friendship.
I will be at your home at nine sharp, and look forward to seeing you.
Cordially,
Ruth

Apology for being unable to accept the invitation
Dear Li Hua,
I'm so sorry I can't come to Tom's birthday party. These days my mother has been falling ill, so I have to attend to her.
Thank you for asking me, Li Hua. I certainly hate to miss any of your parties. They're always such fun!
Affectionately,
Liang Yan

【寫法指要】
當你要舉辦生日紀念、周末消遣性的便餐晚會時，可以通過電話或便函性請?zhí)埧腿恕Ｈ绻麜r間允許，最好是寫信邀約。邀請信可以簡短，但要真誠熱情。寫請?zhí)娜掌诳梢韵駥懶乓粯訉懺谧笊辖牵部上駥?a href="http://9000bbs.cn/fanwen/qingjian/">請柬一樣寫在左下角。
三、便條
非正式社交書信統(tǒng)稱為便條或便箋（notes）。它是用于家人、同事、鄰居、朋友之間的一種應(yīng)用文。前面書信類中的“感謝信”、“祝賀信’等有時也可稱為便箋。
人們往往因有一些簡單或緊急的事情需要臨時告知別人，而由于某種原因無法與對方直接聯(lián)系，這時便條就是溝通的工具。
總的來說，便條可分為兩種：請假條（note asking for leave）和留言條（message note left）。
便條實際上是一種簡易書信，談的都是當天或三兩天內(nèi)的事。但它“麻雀雖小，五臟俱全”，包括除信內(nèi)地址以外的各項內(nèi)容，即日期、稱呼、正文、結(jié)尾客套語、簽名等。時間常常不寫年月，只寫日期或上下午，或幾點鐘。
便條一般是臨時通知、詢問事宜，往往是托人轉(zhuǎn)交或在某一場合的直接留言，不需要郵寄，所以不用信封。寫便條時要立求開門見山、三言兩語把意思表達清楚，句式簡單、用詞隨便，接近口語。
例如：
Nov. 5, 1999
Dear Mr. Li,
Because of an attack of the flu, I'll not be able to attend today's classes, for which I provide a medical certificate.
Your kind permission will be greatly appreciated.
Your student,
Wang Ming
該便條的漢語寫法是：
親愛的李老師：
我因患流感，今天不能到校上課�，F(xiàn)交上醫(yī)生證明。如蒙準假，我將不勝感激。
你的學(xué)生
