摘要：随着全球化进程不断的推进和区域经济一体化的深入发展，国际间的商务交际对于外贸行业从事人员来说，已经成为了一个重要且必要的课题。英语作为全球经济贸易的重要通用语言，其已基本形成了成熟的交流文本格式。但对于英语和商务英语专业的学生来说，商务函电写作仍然是一项比较欠缺实践的实用技能。针对现实中大部分学生所存在的写作弱项，本文将会系统性的研究和总结归纳出相关的商务函电语言特点，以杰弗里 利奇[Geoffrey Leech]的慷慨，策略，褒奖，谦虚，赞同，同情礼貌六原则理论为依托，附上真实环境下的商务交际及询盘和还盘案例分析，总结出商务信函英语简洁直接和格式化的特点，以达到能为后来商务英语学习者快速准确写出符合交际规范的商务函电。
