如何写好关注信

王立新

关注信（letter of concern）属于应用文的范畴。关注信是作者就某一问题或一些现象，表达自己对事件的关心，并提出自己的一些看法和解决办法。一封好的关注信分为三个部分：开头、主体和结尾。

开头：简单介绍写信的缘由。

主体：针对对方的问题（如生病等）进行有针对性的鼓励和安慰，并适当提出自己的建议。注意语气一定要委婉，能体现出自己对对方的关切之情。

结尾：简洁的希望或祝福。

常用句式：

1. 开头常用语

Im shocked / awfully sorry to hear that...

It broke my heart to hear that...

I just cant tell you how sad I was when I heard that...

2. 主體常用语

Please let me / us know if there is anything I / we can do.

If I can be of any help， please dont hesitate to let me know.

3. 结尾常用语

I hope our caring will help to comfort you.
