Write an inquiry letter to ask for more information concerning a product, service or other information about a product or service. These letters are often written in response to an advertisement that we have seen in the paper, a magazine, a commercial on television when we are interested in purchasing a product, but would like more information before making a decision. Inquiries are also written to ask for business contact information to develop new business. For further types of business letters use this guide to different types of business letters to refine your skills for specific business purposes such as making inquiries, adjusting claims, writing cover letters and more.
撰寫詢盤信用來咨詢關(guān)于產(chǎn)品,服務(wù)或者其它同產(chǎn)品或服務(wù)相關(guān)的信息。這些信件經(jīng)常是在在報紙、雜志和商業(yè)廣告上看到自己感興趣想要購買的產(chǎn)品之后而做出的反應(yīng),但我們希望在做決定前了解相關(guān)產(chǎn)品的更多信息。詢盤信也可以用于尋求業(yè)務(wù)聯(lián)系信息來發(fā)展新業(yè)務(wù)。用以下準(zhǔn)則撰寫不同類型的商業(yè)信件,為具體的商業(yè)目的來改善你的書寫技巧。例如:詢問信息,調(diào)整索賠,書寫附函等等。

Remember to place your or your company's address at the top of the letter (or use your company's letterhead) followed by the address of the company you are writing to. The date can either be placed double spaced down or to the right.
記住把你的住址或者公司的地址寫在信件的抬頭(或者使用公司印有抬頭的信箋),緊隨其后的是信件要寄往的公司地址。寫信日期既可以寫在隨后空兩行下面或者寫在右邊。
