感谢信并无固定的格式，但是一定要提及感谢的具体原因和内容。不要千谢万谢，结果连感谢的理由都没写出来。如果收到的礼物是相册，你可以提及你不久前拍了一组照片，收到相册真是太及时了；住院时收到鲜花，可以说每天看着鲜花，神清气，心情顿时变得愉悦起来。过去，感谢信一般由当事人亲笔写在信纸或卡片上，然后通过传统邮政服务（因其既花钱又费时，常被称做snail mail，“蜗牛信件”）。现在，随着邮件的普及，它已迅速取代传统的书信和卡片。I'd like to thank each of you for making my birthday a great day(1).It felt really festive(2) to be surrounded by all of the decorations(3) all day!In fact, if you haven't noticed, I'm reluctant(4) to take them down.Also, your gift certificate(5) to the Real Seafood Restaurant was very generous(6) and I can assure you I will put it to good use!Thanks so much! (7)John(1)英文信函的习惯是开门见山，段落的第一个句子常常是该段落的主题句(topic sentence)，“I'd like to thank each of you for making my birthday a great day” 很清楚地表达了写信的目的。类似的主题句还有：“Thank you for spending so much time with me during my visit to your headquarters on Monday.”和“Leon and I are so grateful for your kindness during our stay in your house last week.”(2)festive：过节似的、喜庆的、欢乐的(3)decorations:此处指表示喜庆的装饰物，如气球、彩条，表示幽默的等。(4)be reluctant to: 不情愿的，舍不得的(5)gift certificate：礼券(6)generous: 丰厚的、丰盛的、大方的例文Date and PlaceMr.____Minister of _____(Address)Beijing,ChinaDear Minister,
