外贸英语询价
网络的发展使得做外贸方便了许多。用email进行询盘是现今很多外贸人士的做法。下面就教教大家如何用email询盘。
1. 文体介绍
在对外贸易中，询盘，也叫询价(inquiry或enquiry)是买方对于所要购买的商品向卖方作出的询问。询盘是交易的起点，可以分为：
普通询盘(a general inquiry)：索取普通资料，诸如：目录(a catalogue（目录、一览表）)、价目表或报价单(a price-list or quotation sheets)、样品(a sample)、图片(illustrated photo prints)等。
具体询盘(a specific inquiry)：具体询问商品名称(the name of the commodity)、规格(the specifications)、数量(the quantity)、单价(the unit price FOB… / CIF…)，装船期(the time of shipment)、付款方式(the terms of payment)等。
买方通过询盘信，简明扼要的向卖方了解一般的商品信息。利用E-mail 写询盘信，无须写地过分客气，只需具体、简洁、措词得体。有的询盘信开门见山，直截了当说明订购打算，希望对方给予一定优惠条件;有的询盘信则以征询信息的方式，不许下订货诺言，以避免结果未订购可能形成的日后交易中的障碍 。
