來源:發(fā)布時間:2008-09-05 14:39:46

實例:

信的本文漢譯
關(guān)于你們四月九日涵,我們高興地接受你們第8/070/02B號報盤單所報100噸紫色銅絲。請著手辦理申請 出口許可證 。一經(jīng)接到 出口許可證 號碼的 通知 ,當(dāng)即電開 信用證 。
對商業(yè)信函的“完整”要求
要求書信的“完整”,理由有三:
1.一封完整的書信比一封不完整的書信,有更大的可能性帶來預(yù)期的效果;
2.一封完整的書信,有助于建立和表達(dá)友善關(guān)系;
3.一封完整的書信,可以避免由于遺漏重要情況(情報)所導(dǎo)致的訴訟(Lawsuit);
4.有時,某些不顯眼的書信或文件,由于所提供的情況完整而又生動有力(Complete and Effective)而成為極為重要的文件。
一封信寫得是否完整,建議用五個“W”來檢驗,既:
“Who, What, Where, When 及Why(包括How)”
例如在定貨的信中,必須明確說明
“需要什么商品”(What you want)
“何時需要” (When you need the goods)
“貨物發(fā)到何地何人收”(to Whom and Where the goods to be sent)
“如何付款”(How payment will be mande)
如對對方的要求作出否定的答復(fù)時(如不能報盤,不能理賠等)應(yīng)說明理由“為什么”(Why)
