文档介绍:查询信“查询信”的特点是开门见山、直截了当、格式简单、易于回复。本章介绍了四种基本的查询信:(1)要求提供服务;(2)要求提供建议;(3)要求报价和(4)要求提供文件。
查询信一般包括事由标题、提出问题、说明原因和表示感谢四部分。查询信的结构简单,正文部分一般由三段组成: 第一段提出你所需要查询的资料是什么;第二段的主要内容是简单说明写信的原由;第三段是对收信人所能给予的帮助表示感谢。
People often want or need information. They may want information about the products or services that you can supply. Or perhaps they need a catalogue and price list from pany before they make a decision about which of your products to buy.
pany may require a quotation or an estimate for some work which needs to be done. Alternatively, they may want technical details about one of your new products. So there are enquires asking for service, enquires asking for advice, enquires asking for documents and enquires asking for quotation.
译:人们有获取信息的需求。他们有时想知道某家公司能提供什么样的产品和服务;有时则需要得到产品目录或价目表,以便决定购买什么产品;还有的是公司需要对方就某项工程提供报价或做出估算。因此,有要求提供服务的查询信,要求提供建议的查询信,要求提供文件的查询信和要求提供报价的查询信。
※查询信要简单、清楚和切题,开头就明确说明需要什么及原因;有时要对对方将会提供的帮助表示感谢;通常以“盼早日答复”一类的语句结束。
