introduction
背景介绍 在国际贸易中，双方经过交易磋商，确立契约关系。在外贸函电往来中，业务
达成的体现为报盘或还盘得到双方认可，或买方发出订单并得到卖方的确认，拟定 合同。达成交易后，往往另行签订书面合同。订立合同是指对以往磋商过程中达成 的协议、共同接受的交易条件达成的书面确认形式。合同具有法律效力，一经订立， 以后的贸易活动都应以合同条款为依据。这是因为通过签订合同，把往来函电中有 所变更的条件，最终归纳于一份规范的合同文本中，并由双方签署。这样的合同， 既是一份完整、有效的法律文件，也是一份完整、明确的履约依据。合同的内 容 通常包括三个部分：
TEXT Arm yourself Main points Make yourself skilled
2. Arm yourself
1. be satisfied with
be please with 对……满意,满足
e.g. 我们对你们产品质量很满意。
We 're satisfied with the quality of your goods.
约首：包括合同名称、编号以及双方当事人名称、地址、电传或传真号码等。 本文：合同条款，即对各项交易条件的具体规定，包括品名条款、品质条款、 数量条款、包装条款、价格条款、装运条款、保险条款、支付条款、商检条款、索 赔条款、不可抗力条款、仲裁条款等条款。 约尾：指明合同的正本份数、使用的文字效力、合同的准据法等，并由双方签 字当事人落款签字。
The quality of the first lot satisfied our customers. 我们的顾客对你们的缝纫机的质量很满意，所以我们希望续订。
Our clients are so satisfied with the quantity of your sewing machines that we wish to book a repeat order.

2). 体谅Consideration 多站在对方角度考虑信函的措辞，避免问一些涉及保密的问题。如果对方 可能会对你的询问产生疑问，应该简要说明一下你的原因。 例如，在信的开头说明获得对方信息的来源。所有的组织都希望了解他们 的宣传是多么有效，你通过提供这样的信息告诉了他们，他们会很感激。 例如： Please send me a copy of Modernizing Your Kitchen, the free booklet mentioned in your advertisement in the June 14 issue of The Daily News. （请给我寄一份“使你的厨房现代化”，——你们6月14号每日新闻的广告中提

在对外贸易中，询盘通常是由买方发出以获取信息，开始贸易的。根据内容，询 盘可以分为两类，即一般询盘和具体询盘。
在一般询盘中，发盘者索要产品目录、价格表及样品等。而在具体询盘里，询盘者 索要产品的关键信息，如规格，装运期，报价，支付方式等。
询盘 询盘（inquiry）也叫询价，是指交易的一方准备购买或出售某种商品，向对方询 问买卖该商品的有关交易条件。询盘的内容可涉及：价格、规格、品质、数量、 包装、装运以及索取样品等，而多数知识询问价格。所以，业务上常把询盘称作 询价。询盘不是每笔交易必经的程序，如交易双方彼此都了解情况，不需要向对 方探寻成交条件或交易的可能性，则不必使用询盘，可直接向对方发盘。

3. Firm Offer and Non-firm Offer
(1) A firm offer is a promise to sell at a stated price and condition within a stated period of time (a certain time limit). It usually contains such expressions as “for acceptance within... days”, “firm offer”, “be valid before...”, etc. The firm offer creates a power of acceptance permitting the offeree by accepting the offer to transform the offeror’s promise into a contractual obligation. Thus, once it has been accepted it cannot be withdrawn.
(2) A quotation is not an “offer” in the legal sense. A quotation is merely a notice of the price of certain goods at which the sellers are willing to sell. It is not legally binding as a firm offer if the sellers later decide not to sell. The price is subject to change without previous notice. However, if a quotation is made together with all necessary terms and conditions of sales, it amounts to an offer. So, these two words are sometimes confusing in use.

1. An Inquiry and Reply (1) An inquiry is a request for information on goods. When business people intend to import a product, they send out an inquiry to an exporter. It may ask for a quotation or an offer for the goods they wish to buy or simply request for some general information regarding these goods. An inquiry can be made by written correspondence, such as a letter, telegram, telex, fax, e-mail or verbally by talk in person. Inquiries from regular customers may be very simple in content, in which only the name and/or specifications of the commodity will be mentioned. Other inquiries may include great details such as the name of the commodity, quality, specifications, quantity, terms of price, terms of payment, time of shipment, packing method, etc. required by the buyer so as to enable the seller to make proper offers.

(3). State briefly to first enquirers the strengths and advantages of your products. (4). If you are unable to supply the products required, give a reason or explanation in addition to expressing regret. Always end your letter positively by offering other products as substitutes so as to create a good impression, which hopefully result in more business.
Guidelines for Writing
(3)If it is a first enquiry, start your letter by informing how you obtained their name and address. Meanwhile, you can give a brief introduction of your own business. Some details about what you would like to get from the exporter would be mentioned in the end. (4)The tactic often used in order to invite better terms is to give the seller some hope of substantial orders or continued business by saying “Should your prices be competitive, we shall place an order…” or “If your quotation is favorable, we’ll place regular order with you.”
