親愛的[王華]：
我將愉快地參加您于[4月6日（星期二）下午1時]舉行的午宴。
[鮑勃]經常向我提起[王暉]，并經常談到與他[同住一室/為隊友]是多么愉快。雖然我還沒
有見過他，但因為聽到有關他的事情多，好像已經認識他了。
我相信，同[王暉的媽媽]相會一定會使人非常愉快，非常感謝您的邀請。

cept， I do hope you will ask me again some time！
Sincerely yours，
親愛的[布朗]：

點：
1.在對饋贈禮物的感謝信中，要提到具體的禮物，不要寫“Thanks for the beautiful
gift“。而應寫成”Thanks for the beautiful watch“。同時將禮物是何等的適宜與精
美等加以贊賞，以顯示出送禮物人獨具慧眼。這樣會使送禮人感到高興。
2.在英美國家，禮物常附有一張寫著送禮人姓名的卡片。
