Sample Letters of Inquiry

Dear Sirs,

Following my conversation with the representative in your London showroom, I should be glad if you would send me your new catalogue of laptops. If you can guarantee prompt delivery and can quote really competitive prices, we may be able to place an order. First class references will be supplied with the order.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Sirs,

Dear Sirs,

We have heard from your representative, Mr. Wolf, that you are producing for export jackets in pure leather. There is a constant demand in Austria for high-class goods of this type. Sales are not high, but a good price can be obtained for fashionable design.
Will you please send us your catalogue and a pricelist with terms of payment. If it is possible, please, send us also several samples of leather used in your jackets.
We look forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Sirs,

We have seen your advertisement in the Metal worker Journal, and would be grateful if you would kindly send us details of your aluminum fitting.
Please quote us for the reply of the items listed on the enclosed enquiry form, giving your prices c.i.f. Southampton. Will you please also indicate delivery time, your terms of payment, and details of discounts for regular purchases and large orders.
Our annual requirements for metal fittings are considerable, and we may be able to place substantial orders with you if your prices are competitive and your deliveries are prompt. We look forward to receiving your quotation.
Yours faithfully,
