COURTEOUS(谦恭)> make sure the letter is written in a sincere and polite tone.
写信时要多从对方的立场考量,而非仅从自身想法出发,语气上将可更尊重对方。措词要有礼且谦恭,及时地回信也是礼貌的表现。

例句

We have received your letter of 26 July with many thanks.
(我们很感谢收到您于7月26日寄出的信函。)

It's our great pleasure to send you our latest catalog.
(能寄给贵公司最新型录是本公司最大的荣幸。)

You will be particularly interested in a special offer on page 2 of the latest catalog enclosed, which you requested in your letter of 26 July.
(您将特别对附上的最新型录中第二页的特别优惠有兴趣,该型录是您于7月26日的来函中索取的。)

You earn 3% discount when you pay cash, and we will send you the brochure next month.
(当您付现时,可享九七折折扣。我们将于下个月寄目录给您。)

X We allow 3% discount for cash payment. We won't be able to send you the brochure this month.
(我们允许客户付现时享九七折,我们无法于本月寄目录给你。)

CORRECT(正确) > avoid any mistake in grammar, punctuation mark or spelling.
应避免犯任何文法、标点符号以及拼字上的错误。为有效杜绝拼字错误,可以利用word所提供的“拼字检查”作全面的核对。

(1)避免用词错误

X As to the steamers sailing from Kaohsiung to San Francisco, we have bimonthly direct services.

此处bimonthly用法会产生歧义:可以是twice a month(一个月两次)或者every two months(两个月一次),建议改写为:

1. We have two direct sailings every month from Kaohsiung to San Francisco.
(每个月从高雄到旧金山有两次直航班。)

2. We have semimonthly direct sailing from Kaohsiung to San Francisco.
(每半个月从高雄到旧金山有一次直航班。)

(2)注意词语所放的位置

1. We will be able to supply 6 cases of the item only.
(我们将只能够供应六箱商品。)(可能有多项商品。)

2. We will be able to supply 6 cases only of the item.
(我们将只能够供应该项商品六箱。)(只有一项商品。)

(3)注意句子的结构

1. We sent you 5 samples yesterday of the goods which you requested in your letter of May 20 by air.(我们昨日已将你于5月20日寄出的航空信件中所要求的5个样品寄出。)

2. We sent you, by air, 5 samples of the goods which you requested in your letter of May 20. (我们已将你于5月20日信件中所要求的5个样品以空运寄出。)
