Inquiry Letter
An inquiry can
be made by telephone, telegram (cable), telex, fax or postcard. If you use a postcard, it is not necessary to neither start with a salutation nor end with a complimentary close. Your address, the date, and reference are sufficient. If you need to give more information about yourself or ask the suppliers for more information, you will need to write a letter. Inquiries (also spelt enquiry) are messages that ask for information. They may be price quotations, terms of payment, services available, personal data, leaflets or catalogues, articles or special data, availability of goods, delivery terms, insurance, and method of transportation. In order to write inquiries that will ask the proper questions and receive appropriate replies use the four-point plan: 1. state the subject of your inquiry; 2. add any explanatory material you feel will be helpful (details, definitions, descriptions, questions); 3. briefly give the reason for your inquiry, making it clear why the message is addressed to the reader; 4. end courteously. If a response to inquiry will be a favor to you, enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope. This is not necessary if you have regular business correspondence. | |
