標(biāo)題/事由Subject/Re

在信和傳真中，信頭所占頁(yè)面不超過三分之一。商業(yè)書信的信頭一般包括發(fā)信人地址、發(fā)信人日期、收信人地址和姓名、稱呼以及事由。傳真的的信頭包括收信人地址（連同傳真號(hào)碼）、收信人地址（連同收信人傳真號(hào)碼）、發(fā)信日期、頁(yè)數(shù)、稱呼和事由。發(fā)信人地址：書信發(fā)信人地址位于頁(yè)首居中的位置。傳真發(fā)信人地址位于傳真紙頁(yè)首固定的信頭格式內(nèi)。一般來(lái)說(shuō)，商業(yè)書信的首頁(yè)都使用印有公司抬頭的信箋。此部分包括公司名稱、地址、電話和傳真號(hào)碼。有的甚至還印有代表公司形象的符號(hào)標(biāo)志、E-mail號(hào)，網(wǎng)址和總裁的名字等。印有信頭的首頁(yè)中往往有一枚代表公司形象的標(biāo)識(shí)。標(biāo)識(shí)一般用圖像表示，它就像包裹件上或運(yùn)輸工具上的商標(biāo)一樣。這些符號(hào)生動(dòng)有趣、不同尋常，讓人過目不忘。如果一個(gè)公司的標(biāo)識(shí)設(shè)計(jì)得好，它就可以廣為熟知，公司就容易打開局面，其形象也很快得到公眾的認(rèn)可。發(fā)信日期：有兩種模式---“24Sept.,2009”(月-日-年)或“Sept.12,2009”（月-日-年）。日期可以打印在左邊空白處。日期與抬頭或發(fā)信人地址之間應(yīng)空兩行。寫傳真時(shí)，日期打印在信頭相應(yīng)的空格內(nèi)。收信人地址：包括收信人的全名和職銜，以及公司的全稱和地址。書信中收信人地址從頁(yè)面左邊空白處寫起，在日期下面空兩行。傳真中收信人地址打在信頭相應(yīng)的空格內(nèi)。指定收信人姓名：已不常用。如果需要，就從頁(yè)面左邊空白處寫起，在收信人地址下空兩行。收信人(Addressee)地址標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的排序方式：A.
