国际商务函电第四章Unit04 Offers

Unit Four Offers & Quotations (报盘和报价)
Introduction
In the international business, offers can be divided into two kinds:
A firm offer (实盘)— A firm offer is a definite promise to sell goods at the stated prices, usually within a stated period of time. The terms stated in a firm offer is binding on the sellers if they are accepted by the buyers within its validity. In a firm offer, an exact description of the goods, the time of shipment and the mode of payment should be included. A non-firm offer (虚盘)— Unlike a firm offer, a nonfirm offer is not binding upon the sellers. In other words, a non-firm offer can be withdrawn or changed by the sellers.
Most quotation are used by people as non-firm offers, though some with the wording “The quotation is subject to your reply here within a week” and so on function as firm offer.

Sample Letter 1 General Enquiry
Dear Mr…
We are a group of consulting companies active in the field of export-import promotion and of joint ventures especially set up to provide services to China.
We have noticed that several local producers of garments are interested in entering into a joint venture agreement with Chinese firms. Also, companies importing garments from Hongkong wish to get into direct contact with producers on the Mainland. When I was in China recently I also noticed that the local demand for textiles had increased considerably in the past several years.
