请求信是写信人对收信人提出请求，并希望对方满足该要求。写请求信的重点是要写清楚为什么要请求他人做某事，请求他人做某事的原因。

写请求信时首先要说明写作意图，一定要注意语气要礼貌，用词要规范;然后具体展开说明请求的原因;最后表示希望对方予以答复。

写作“三步走”：

介绍自己、提出请求—>说明原因及其它事项—>表达谢意、期盼答复

注意：

在许多情况下，请求信是写给不认识的人或者机构，所以在信的开头可以做一下简单的自我介绍。同时，由于提出的请求往往都是需要麻烦别人的事情，所以要注意语气的礼貌程度，不要吝啬你的感谢。

范文解析：

Directions: You have lost the original of a diploma in business studies you received from a college where you studied. Write to the director of the college to ask for a new one. The letter should include:

1) a short introduction of yourself,

2) the reasons why you are in desperate need of a new copy,

3) time and way for you to get it as soon as possible.

2. Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter, Use “Wang Hua” instead. Do not write the address.

Dear Director of Foreign Economy and Trade,

I am a graduate of the Department of Foreign Economy and Trade. My name is Wang Hua and my major is Business Studies. I graduated last year with fairly good academic achievements. Now I am in great need of another diploma because I lost my original diploma owing to my home suffering a serious flood last summer. I would appreciate your sending me another diploma after checking my academic records kept in the university.

Here are some reasons why I am in so desperate need of the diploma. For one thing, I am looking for a very attractive job in a foreign-invested enterprise and this enterprise thinks much of the academic background of its personnel. For another, an original diploma is of vital importance to any graduate because it concerns a persons’ future career. Therefore, I should like to apply hereby to you for a new diploma.

I shall be much obliged if you are so kind as to let me have the new copy of diploma again. If this is not a convenient time for you, please feel free to suggest another time. If you prefer, you can call me at the number 5801235.

I am looking forward to your response at your response at your earliest convenience. Thanks again for your kind consideration. I am ready to go to my mother college to get a new copy of my lost diploma.

Yours truly,

Wang Hua
