Unit 5 Enquiry and Reply Teaching Objectives: Knowledge Requirements: 1 To give a brief introduction to what to write in inquiries and replies 2 To enable Ss to become aware of structure and main content of letters for inquiries and replies by learning the samples given Competence Requirements: 1 To skillfully practice using some useful expressions for writing inquiries and replies 2 To skillfully rewrite inquiries and ask for the information wanted 3 To skillfully give replies according to real situation
Part One Enquiry • An enquiry becomes a necessity when it comes to asking for more information concerning a product, service or other information about a product or service that interests us. 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. In an enquiry, careful attention must be paid to the following: • 1. Choose appropriate manufactures cautiously in advance. The manufacturers’ information can be collected from various ways, such as the previous records of transaction, your prior status inquiries. It is not a good idea to send inquiries to several manufacturers in the same district. But you may have no chance to make comparison before making a decision when you just select one or two suppliers. So it is recommended that you enquire several suppliers in different districts or countries and invite them to give offers.
2. The content of the enquiry should be adapted according to commodities and transactions. For goods of Fair Average Quality, you’d better send inquiries to manufacturers in different countries at the same time to master different quotations on the international market. For goods of multitudinal specifications, your enquiry involves not only prices but also specific items, quantities etc. It would avoid consultation in several letters and save both parties’ time. For monopolistic goods, you enquire different varieties and ask the other party to quote one by one. For goods of large quantities, you should arrange purchase gradually and avoid importing in a rush time since your attempt may arouse the supplier to increase the prices. 3. Don’t leak out your intended quantity and price too early. Enquire tentatively and give a trial order in the first transaction. But for specifications, models, technical requirements, you should give clear explanation in the enquiry based on your actual demand. 4. To be honest. Although the enquiry has no legally binding force, you still should try to avoid enquiring without purchase action. That will bring discredit on your name.
2. 1 Analysis of Specimen Letter: First Enquiry from Chinese Importer • Background: • A Chinese enterprise, Jinhua Import & Export Company is seeking an oversea supplier who could provide the product they want. An advertisement from Lnp Equipment, an American gold supplier on Alibaba website, catches their attention. Then the purchasing manager of Jinhua Import & Export Company wrote an e-mail to Lnp Equipment.
• • Vocabulary: leading adj. 主要的，最重要的 radial drilling machine 钻孔机床 Upon the above analysis, we may come to the impression and conclusion that: Structural parts of letters for enquiry consist of the following three sections: Section 1: Give the source of general information; Section 2: Making your specific enquiry; Section 3: Express thanks for the help & cordial expectation for a prompt favorable reply.
2. 1. 2 Skills for Writing Structural Parts of Letters for Enquiry Section 1: Give the source of general information. Begin your letter by stating who you are and giving your status or details of your own firm, and tell how you found out about the individual or entity that you are writing to. • Examples: 由人介绍、推荐 • On the recommendation of…, we have learned that you are manufacturer of …, now we are particularly interested in importing various range of … • Your name is given to us by …, with which we have been doing business for many years. • We have been informed by …that you are one of the leading exporters of … (product) in … (country or district), and that you wish to extend export business to our market. • We are much obliged to …for the name and address of your company and are pleased to know you are one of the principle producers and exporters of …in…

Section 2: Making your specific enquiry. Clearly state what you are enquiring about and what you would like the recipient of your letter to do. Make your enquiry as specific as possible: the goods needed, usual terms of payment, possible time of delivery, a catalogue, a pricelist, a quotation, and after-sale service etc. Sometimes specific models are mentioned in the enquiry letter, while the reader would like to provide the information of the whole set or range of products. So it is not necessary for you to make too many requests all at once. If you have to ask for several things, the most important thing comes first. When you have to make a demanding request, you should do it tactfully by employing more polite expressions. • Examples: • Would you please send us details of your computers including the functions and the necessary software? • Would you please send us by airmail your latest catalogue and price-list, quoting your best prices?
• As there is a good demand here we should appreciate your sending us a sample together with the prices of various models for which we will pay immediately upon receipt of your debit note. • Could you quote us the lowest price for leather gloves? • Could you give us some idea about the discount you can offer on bulk purchase? • Would you please supply us with a complete set of catalogues for … so that we may make choice and work on them? • We should like you to send us a catalogue and price list regarding your products. • We should like to know if you can supply the products by the end of May. • Could/Would you please send us samples of your products? • We would find it most helpful if you could supply samples of your products. • It would be helpful if you could send us samples showing your range of… • Please let us have information as to the price and quality of the goods.

You may include the date by which you need the information or services that you are requesting, and indicate that you await the reader’s favorable response. • Examples: • We should appreciate it very much if you would give us a prompt reply. • We shall be pleased to receive your enquiries for the machineries. • Notes: • If appropriate, you may want to mention that you will keep any information provided confidential. This may increase the likelihood that the reader will respond to your enquiry. • Generally, give at least a couple of weeks for the person, company, or organization to respond to your enquiry before sending a follow-up letter or making a follow-up phone call. • The tactic often used to invite better terms is to give the seller some hope of substantial orders or continued business.
• Examples: • As we usually place substantial orders, would you please grant a quantity discount? • 订单量大，能否优惠？ • We are large dealer in silk garments, having over 15 year’s experience in this particular line of business. Silk blouses of good quality and moderate prices command a good sale in our market. • 说明本企业产品进口能力、经营历史和行业地位，暗示对方自己 的实力，产品在市场畅销的势头也会引起对方的兴趣。 • Several of our customers have recently express interest in your BJ-199 suit and enquired about the quality. • 已有顾客上门，产品不愁销路。 • If you can assure regular supplies, we will place large orders with you. • 有实力供货，订单自然来。
