(poor)We can deliver the goods on May 1.Eg.2 We regret to inform you that we deny your request for credit.For the time being we can only serve you on a cash basis.Dear sirs:Many thanks for your order of October 12.After careful consideration, we have come to the conclusion that it would be better for you to approach another manufacturer for the products you desire. To produce the machine required according to your specifications would mean setting up special equipment at our factory. This would not only be impossible to accomplish before the end of this year, but would seriously interrupt our production schedule. We are sorry not to be more helpful, but hope that you will understand our position. Please contact us again. We will be pleased to serve you in the future.Yours sincerely,2) V olunteer sth. Extra which, you think, may be of some use to your reader now or in the future. Eg.

How we would like them to be packed and shipped)How much(How much goods do we need)For some letters---especially those that bring bad news,answering the question “why” is of vital importance.A message that answers the question why is more likely to motivate the correspondent to take thedesired action than the one that does not explain why.2. 7Cs Principle 2 : ConcisenessConciseness ------communicating an idea in the fewest words without sacrificing completeness and courtesy.Guidelines to write concisely1) Omit trite expressioneg.

(we attitude) We are happy to have your order for Gentlemen shirts, which we are sending today by CAAC Flight No. 345.(you attitude) Your selection of Gentlemen shirts should reach you by Saturday, as they were shipped today by CAAC Flight No. 345.2) Some notable exceptions where you attitude is not suitable. When the reader has made a mistake.Eg. (poor) You failed to enclose your pamphlet in the envelope.(better) The envelope we received did not have your pamphlet in it.When the reader has expressed an opinion different from your own.Eg. (poor) You are entirely wrong in your attitude concerning our claim.(better) We’d like to explain in more detail w hy you are responsible for the loss of our ordered goods.3) 7Cs Principle 4--Concreteness Concreteness----being specific, definite, and vivid rather than vague and general.

为了帮助大家,店铺整理了一些写商务英语邮件的注意事项,希望能帮到大家。
1. Get Straight to the Point直奔主题Getting straight to the point might mean that the first line of your email (after thesalutation) looks something like this: 直奔主题意味着邮件内容的第一行应该是这样:I’m working on an article about XXX,and wondered if you had a few minutes to answer the following three questions.我现在正在写一篇关于XX的文章,不知道您有没有时间回答3个问题呢?2. Start With an Appropriate Salutation邮件开头称呼要恰当:Some people jump straight into the text of an email without so much as a “hi”. It’s polite to add asalutation, just as you would with a letter. Thatmight look like:有些人写邮件不喜欢加称呼,甚至连简单的“你好”都忽略,直接开始正文内容。
孰不知就像在传统的`信件上一样,写上称呼是一种礼貌的象征。
称呼可以这样写:Dear Sir/Madam 亲爱的先生/女士Dear Mr.Johnson 亲爱的约翰逊先生Hi Sue 苏,你好Hello Fred 你好,福瑞德3. Keep it Short内容言简意赅Try to keep your email as short as possible. Make the paragraphs short, too – long paragraphs can be difficultto read and take in.尽可能将你的邮件内容写得简单明了。

商务英语写作英文订单写作的注意问题1. 文体介绍订货(order)是买方为要求供应具体数量的货物而提出的一种要求。
此时,交易双方之间的陌生感已消除,可以说已经度过了接触障碍和难关。
英文订单写作应注意以下几点:(1)英文订单写作开头就直接说明订购的意图。
(2)英文订单一般应包括:商品的名称、品质、数量、包装、价格条件、支付条件以及需要对方提供的单据等。
(3)英文订单内容必须准确、清楚。
不论是商品的价格还是商品的规格都应做到准确无误,否则会带来不必要的损失与麻烦。
卖方收到英文订单电子邮件后必须进行确认。
如果卖方无法提供买方所需要的货物,则最好介绍一些合适的替代品;如果买方所需货物的价格和规格发生了变化,卖方则提出还价并劝买方接受,但要注意:写拒绝接受订货的信时,必须非常谨慎,应为日后有可能的交易留下余地。
