Part One
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.
