在国外学校有事找教授或者学校部门,一般都是要先发邮件阐述自己的情况。发邮件这件事非常频繁且重要。很多宝子去国外上学,很容易一不小心就踩雷了邮件礼仪,这可是大忌!
所以给大家整理了和国外教授发邮件时常见的礼貌用语和注意事项!
邮件主题
简洁明了的邮件主题有利于教授了解你的意图
请假:Absent+星期/课程(Absent onTuesday)
问问题:Question about xxx(问题主题/课程)

申请:Master/PHD Application(课程编号)
作业的草稿:Draft of Assignment(课程编号)
奖学金:Enquire about Scholarship

称呼方式
称呼很重要!不要直接用Hey/Hello或者用教授的First name会显得非常不礼貌!

教授/老师:Dear professor+last name; Dear Dr+last name
经常联系的人/朋友:hi/hello+日常称呼
初次联系的人/不认识的人:DearSirMadam(一般不用于老师);To whomitmay concern
不熟悉/已知收件人:Dear Mr/Mrs+last name

注意事项
1. 发邮件一定要用学校官方邮箱,不然你拿个qq邮箱很容易直接就进垃圾箱了。
2. 发邮件之前一定要仔细检查,比如教授的称呼,语法错误或拼写错误。记得发送后去“已发送”里看一看有没有发送成功。
3. 请记得一定要每天检查邮件! 在国外院校,有什么事老师会提前发邮件,比如课取消了这种事,如果不及时查邮箱,很可能自己一个人跑教室去了。
4. 语言要规范!不要像聊天一样,也不要用缩写,一定要用正式语言。
