Written rules in English on the rights and obligations of the buyer and the seller create a legal basis for resolving disputes. The wording and contents of business letters can decide whether customers can be interested in the products or services. Sometimes jargon is used for accurate information. Besides, business letters should be easy to understand, plain and simple, with clear intent in order to win new customers, expand business contacts, and develop customer relationships. With the growing number of business contacts, business letters translation is also becoming increasingly important. This thesis, based on the principle of “7C”, first illustrates the linguistic features of English business letters, for example, discourse structure and different expressions in English and Chinese, analyzes the translation strategies of English business letters into Chinese, and sums up the translation strategies such as literal translation, model--copy translation, amplification or omission. The results show that these translation strategies will not only help to represent the contents of a letter, but also help to solve the problem of how to express the original information accurately.
