Features: This book primarily introduces the basic format of German correspondence, covering the writing styles for envelopes, letterheads, subjects, titles, body, closing, and attachments. With the steady increase in the number of Chinese learners of German and the growing economic and trade exchanges between China and Germany, various forms of communication, including letter writing, have become increasingly frequent. However, whether for personal purposes (such as school applications), job hunting, or business letters, a certain format and specific language are required. Learning how to write German letters correctly is therefore quite important. Moreover, in Germany, people place great emphasis on the format of letters, especially in official institutions. To help Chinese learners of German and business professionals master and use German letter writing correctly, we have introduced this book, "How to Write German Letters." This book introduces multiple different writing methods. First, it covers the basic knowledge of letter writing, divided into letterheads, subjects, salutations, body, closing, and attachment prompts. Then, it provides templates for various types of letters, including business letters (inquiries, supply, orders, complaints, payments, etc.) and personal letters (applications, recommendations, resignations, personal wishes, etc.). Each section offers several different expressions for selection. The sections in this book are like building blocks for children, and with slight modifications, you can assemble a business or personal letter with correct wording, grammar, and appropriate expression. In short, this book will make writing German letters easy and effortless.
