To Whom it May Concern /Dear Mr. Gao,

【寫法指要】
介紹信(letters of introduction)是使寫信人認識的人同另一人或多人相識的信件。可分私人介紹信和公務介紹信兩種。私人介紹信是寫信人向自己的親友介紹第三者，語氣比較隨便，格式也不講究。公務介紹信則是寫信人因公把自已的同事、同學或業務關系人介紹給某單位或個人。這種介紹信語言和格式比較規範、嚴謹。私人介紹信的稱呼可用對方的姓名，如我們選的這封信中的Mr.Gao;公務介紹信稱呼或不知姓名者用To Whom it May Concern，相當于漢語的“謹啓者”或“……(單位)負責同志”。
介紹信常用語句有：
①May I take the liberty of asking you to…?
②Please favour me with an early reply.
③Will you please greatly oblige me by…?
④May I request your kindness to do a few things for me?
⑤I hope you will put the matter in your mind.
