We are writing to enquire about the market at your end.
As he was not sure of the quality of the new product on display, Mr. Turner enquired of Mr. Yen about it.
If your price is competitive and delivery date acceptable, we intend to place a large order with you.
You would be delighted to know that there is a ready market for mobile phones in China and we would like to place large orders with you provided the prices you quote are competitive.
In addition, you should not ask for more than what the supplier can provide.
What is a first enquiry?
A first enquiry, that is, an enquiry sent to a supplier whom you have not dealt with, should begin by telling him how and where you got the information about the company.
Attention:
Enquiries should be specific to enable the supplier to answer the question completely.
Many successful exporters first started selling internationally by responding to an inquiry from a foreign firm.
On the other hand, some details of your own business will help the supplier decide what he can do for you.
