如何用英语写请假条?

请假条与书信、书面通知、启事、海报、日记、留言条、履历表等一样，是应用文之一，是请求领导或老师，准假不参加某项工作、学习、活动的文书。请假条分为病假条和事假条，无论是请事假还是请病假都要注意在正文中把请假原因、时间等写清楚，请假理由要充分。若是病假最好附上医生证明。

英文请假条写作需要注意3点：

1.英语请假条的写法和汉语请假条相同，一般有五部分组成：即时间、称呼、正文、谦称和签名。

2.一般而言，可以认定请假条是一种简单的书信文体。请假条一般写在纸上，不用信封。其书写格式与书信有很多相似之处，是书信的大大简化。

3.请假条的特点是开门见山、内容简短、用词通俗易懂。

请假条的格式：

请假条与书信一样，写作格式严谨，一般包括：日期、称呼、正文、谦称和签名几部分。

1.日期日期要写在正文的右上角或右下角，由于请假条的内容大多是当天或近几日因病或因事请假，所以一般不必写上年份。

2.称呼称呼写在正文左上角。请假条因是向上级的请假，一般以Dear...或My dear...开头。有时可在Dear之后，用上Mr.或Miss等的称呼加上姓氏。注意称呼后一定要用逗号。

3.正文 正文是请假条的主要部分，但要求简洁明了。只要把请假的原因和时间交代清楚即可，请假理由务必充分。有的请假条为了说明请假事由是真实的，在正文之后另起一行写上 I enclose a doctor’s certificate（我附上了医生证明）.

4.签名 签名又称署名，写在右下角，方式与称呼相呼应。

5.谦称 签名上面一行可以写上yours,your student等字样，首字母大写，其后用逗号。有时由于请假人与收条人彼此一般很熟，所以在称呼和签名上比较随便和简单，特别是在签名部分，有时可只简单到只写个姓或只写个名。
