對詢函的肯定答復(fù)可以給詢問者一個肯定的信息,如接受訂貨要求、提供所需信息或是和新公司建立貿(mào)易上的往來。如果詢函來自一家未曾有過業(yè)務(wù)聯(lián)系的公司,一個肯定的答復(fù)還應(yīng)表示出合作的意向,甚至可能促成一筆交易。
肯定答復(fù)可不是一句“Yes, we can do it.”就可以的,還應(yīng)該提供一些強調(diào)產(chǎn)品或服務(wù)的重要信息。下面是一些肯定答復(fù)的寫作注意事項:
1. Answer promptly, directly, clearly and accurately.
2. Emphasis one or
two positive features of your product or service.
3. Choose words and a tone
that convince reader to act.
4. Include a sales appeal for the product or
service, and build goodwill through the whole letter.
5. End courteously.
