Dear Ms. Cunningham:
You and pany have been mended to us by Charles Lewis of East Asia Building Material Supplies. Charles mentioned that pany provides high quality goods and services at a reasonable cost, and I am writing to inquire about establishing business cooperation between you and pany, China pany.
China pany is one of the largest international exporters of Chinese goods. We have clients throughout the world, especially in the United States. Chinese ornamental merchandise represents one of our most popular products. As such, we would appreciate it if you could send us your latest sales catalog for our review. We believe that establishing business cooperation with Ornamental Decorations and Supplies will be mutually beneficial for pany and ours.
I look forward to receiving your catalog and doing business with you in the future.
Sincerely yours,
Mai Yang
Manager

以商务信函中最通用的格式-齐头式为例,主要特征就是每行均从左边顶格写,常常采用开放式的标点方式,即除了信文部分,其它部分在必要时才使用标点。信中各段落之间均空一行。
1、信头 The heading    信头就是指书信中发信人的地址和发信的日期等。    通常情况下,公司都会专门印制带有信头的信笺纸,包括发信人的姓名,地址,电话,传真等。当我们撰写传统信件时,直接使用这种信笺纸就可以。
