Письмо с выражением благодарности
I
Если вас пригласили куда-нибудь и вы хорошо провели время (и даже если не очень хорошо!), в англоязычных странах принято написать пись-; * мо или записку с выражением благодарности. Вот пример официального письма с выражением благодарности.
Dear Mr Smith,
I am writing to express my thanks to you for sparing the time to give such a fascinating presentation during the International Plastics Conference last week.
The detailed and scientific talk you gave about the recent developments in various plastics and their applications was of great interest and much appreciated by all in attendance.
Should you require the video recording of the conference, please do not hesitate to contact us, and we shall be pleased to send you both the tape and the transcript.
Thank you once again. Wfe look forward to having the opportunity to further our discussions in the near future.
Yours sincerely
Karen Wills

Для информации, в Англии принято писать письмо с выражением благодарности почти за все: подарки, ужины, выходные... В крайнем случае вы можете позвонить, но только не забудьте это сделать!
