申请信
Letters of Application
申请信主要用于求职或求学,目的是要对方充分了解自己的目的和资格。申请信包括求职申请信、加入某组织的申请信、报考申请信、申请学位或留学申请信等等。无论哪一种申请信，一般都要说明申请的原因、具备的条件，恳请申请单位考虑自己的申请，并表示谢意，期望回复。
申请信写作一般分三部分：
1. 开宗明义说明申请原因；
2. 展开原因；
3. 期盼回复，表示感谢。
在写申请信时要注意语言规范，信息正式，言简意赅，语气诚恳礼貌；要避免不符合事实的浮夸。如果是留学申请和奖学金申请，要注意提供以下信息：写明申请学校和专业，简介个人履历，索取对方学校相关信息，附上个人经历等材料。
