1、便条便条也是书信的一种形式。它的特点是内容简短，主要有临时性的询问、留言、通知、要求等。跟正规书信相比，便条的语言比较口头化，结束时也无需结尾客套，只需写上写便条者姓名。如果是关系比较近的人，则只需写上姓或名。便条的日期通常写在右上角。一般只写上星期几或者星期几上午或下午，也可写上午、下午的具体时刻。日常应用中，写上几月几日的也很普遍。但一般不写年份，因为便条的内容多半是当日或近日内要办的事情。写便条时，不得事先准备，因此无固定格式，大多用手写。须注意：词句简洁，尽量避免应酬语和各种敬词切忌内容空洞、言不达意。1请假（Asking for Leave）范例：Directions: You ar
