申请信是希望收信人满足某个请求的信件。
【结构要点】
一般分为三段:
1.说明写作目的,简要说明请求。
2.具体展开请求的原因。
3.希望对方尽快回复,并表示感谢。
【注意事项】
申请信需开宗明义,即在第一段点明申请的内容。第二部分则应说明申请的理由或针对这一申请自己所具备的相关条件。最后一部分是礼貌性的套话,一般为预致谢意或期待回音。若此申请还有附件,应在最后添加一段说明。常见格式为:Enclosed are (若后面内容为单数则用is)...;或在署名之后添加Enclosures(若后面内容为单数则用Enclosure):Resume and Transcripts。

Dear Sir,
I am writing to apply for a scholarship in your university in order that I could pursue my graduate study for the Master’s Degree in your university.Here is my personal information for you.
I was born in 1981 in Shanghai.I was admitted to the Physics Department of Fudan University in 2000 and will graduate this June.During my four academic years, besides my major, physics, I also take such selective courses as chemistry, computer and mathematics.I have made straight A grades on all required subjects.Moreover, I have passed CET-6 and kept on learning English all these years.So I don't think I will have many problems in language during my study in your country.
If my application could be taken into favorable consideration, I would be most grateful.And I am looking forward to your early reply.
Enclosed are my score reports on all subjects and two recommendations.
Sincerely yours,
Zhou Kai

第一段说明自己申请的是对方大学的奖学金,以使自己能够完成硕士学位的学习。第二段先讲自己的年龄,再谈目前的学习状况。然后说自己选修的课程,以表明自己的知识面。最后说英语能力,以表明如在对方大学学习,不会有语言问题。第三段为礼节性套话。第四段说明附件有所有科目的成绩单和两封推荐信。
首段的scholarship表示“奖学金”。次段首句的admit表示“录取”。第四段的score reports表示“成绩报告单”。

Dear Sirs,
Having learned that our company is looking for a sales manger, I venture to write to seek this vacancy.
I am at present a secretary in the Advertising Department where I have been working for nearly three years.But my major in university was marketing research and I ever took part in various practices in international trade.So I have been feeling very much like working in the Sales Department.Besides, the three year’working experience as a secretary enables me to be fluent in both Chinese and English and have strong interpersonal skills.I believe these abilities, as shown in detail in the resume I enclose, should qualify me for the position as a sales manager.
My leadership, fully aware that I am more suitable as a sales manager, has approved of my transfer should you find it desirable.
I would like to extend my appreciation in advance if you could grant me an interview.
Cordially,
Wang Qiang

这封信和上一封的思路基本一致。第一段说明申请的内容——本公司一个销售经理的职位。第二段说明自己想从广告部秘书的职位调去销售部任经理的理由以及自己胜任这一职位的相关条件。第三段表明自己现任领导对自己工作调动的意见。最后为礼貌性结语,表明自己希望获得面试的机会。
首段的sales manager表示“销售经理”。次段的Advertising Department表示“广告部”。第三段的transfer表示“调动”。
