Notes: Note writing is very easy. Just write as you speak to another person face to face. You write a note when you want to speak to the person who is now absent. You write it in a very informal style: the language is simple and easy, and only a few sentences are needed.
Write down the date first (sometimes you can even drop this down when it
is not important).
Then spell his or her name, usually the first name, since it is
very friendly and intimate.
Next begin the message at another line and finish it to the end.
Finally end the note with your name, also first name.

E-mails:(For further reference, see Student Book Page 37.)
Memos: A few words should be said about the format of memos. Generally they have all the features of letters in format. But they usually have more formalities and features that will make them easy to be recognized and filed. These features are:
A typed or printed heading
Date
File or reference numbers
v1.0可编辑可修改Reader ’ s full name
Writer ’ s full name
Subject line
A distribution list
You may not need to include all of these items in every memo. What
features should be included depend on the memo you are writing.

BEC商务信件写作部分攻略
以下是商业信函的写法：
第一章格式问题
1.格式问题：
请同学们在BEC的写作中采用平头式的写法。
收信人的姓名和地址置于信纸的左上方
地址、称呼和结束礼词后没有标点符号
日期在右上方
段落从定格开始，段落之间的行距为两行（但在考试中由于受答题卡限制，请同学们
酌情考虑）
写信人的名字和头衔在签名下方
2.称呼和结束礼词的注意事项：
称呼的写法遵循下列原则：
Dear Sir or Madam写信给某一公司，不确定具体的收信人
Dear Sir对男士，但是你不知道他的具体姓名
Dear Madam对女士，但是你不知道他的具体姓名
Dear Mr Smith对男士
Dear Ms Smith对已婚或未婚的女士
Dear Mrs Smith对已婚女士
Dear Miss Smith对未婚女士
Dear John (此处John为英语中常用男对朋友或你比较熟悉的人（通常为多年生
名 )意伙伴）
称呼与结束礼词存在对应的关系，请同学们特别注意：
Dear Sir or Madam Yours faithfully
Dear Mr/Ms/Mrs/Miss Smith Yours sincerely
Dear John Best wishes
以下均为错误用法：
Dear Mr John
Dear Mr John Smith
3.日期：
在英国英语中，天在前，但是在美国英语中，月份在前。所以某些特别的时期容易引
起误解。例如： 12 06 2003
在英国指的是： 6 月 21 日
在美国指的是：12 月 6 日
因此日期要写成：12 June 2003
注释：在BEC考试中同学们可以采用恩波所推荐的用法。但是12 06 2003的用法仍然是可以使用的，因为BEC为英版考试。
在使用恩波推荐的用法时，要记住月份使用大些字母开头。天后不必写th 、 rd 、 nd 或
者 st 。
第二章写法问题
预备参加bec 考试的同学们由于缺乏商务写作的实际经验，对于写作部分都比较郁
闷。恩波结合历年考试实际，为大家准备了15 类共计 50 个经典的实战句型，供大家在考场上使用。我们对每一个句型都模拟了一种环境：
1.信件的开头：

company organizes.
2.回信的开头：
