英文电子邮件写作技巧
一、文法上
1、切忌主客不分或模糊
例子:
Decidingtorescindtheearlierestimate,ourreportwasupdatedtoinclude$40,000fornewequipment.”
应改为:
Decidingtorescindourearlierestimate,wehaveupdatedourreporttoinclude$40,000fornewequipment.(We决定呀,不是report.)
2、句子不要凌碎
例子:
Hedecidednottoauditthelasttencontracts.Becauseofourpreviousobjectionsaboutcompliance.应该连在一起.
3、结构对称,令人容易理解.
例子:
Theownerquestionedtheoccupant’sleaseintentionsandthefactthatthecontracthadbeenalteredwithinkmarkings.
应改为:
Theownerquestionedtheoccupant’sleaseintentionsandinkalterationsofthecontract.
4.单众数不要搞乱,不然会好刺眼,看不舒服.
例如:
Anauthorizedpersonmustshowthattheyhavesecurityclearance.
5.动词主词要呼应.想想这两个分别:
1).Thisisoneofthepublic-relationsfunctionsthatisunderbudgeted.
2).Thisisoneofthepublic-relationsfunctions,whichareunderbudgeted.
6.时态和语气不要转变太多.看商务英语已经是苦事,不要浪费人家的精力啊.
7.标点要准确.
例如:
Hedidnotmakerepairs,however,hecontinuedtomonitortheequipment.
改为:
Hedidnotmakerepairs;however,hecontinuedtomonitortheequipment.
8.选词正确.好像affect和effect,operative和operational等等就要弄清楚才好用啦.
9.拼字正确.有电脑拼字检查功能后,就更加不能偷懒.
10.大小写要注意.非必要不要整个字都是大写,除非要骂人
例如:
MUSTchangetoOSimmediately.外国人就觉得不礼貌和喝令人一样.要强调的话,用底线,斜字,粗体就可以了.
二、写信提示
1.人家的名字千万不要错.老一辈的看到名字错就干脆撵去垃圾桶.同样,头衔都不要错.头衔或学位,任择其一吧.以下是一样的:
HowardE.Wyatt,D.D.SPhD.Dr.HowardE.Hyatt
2.多过一个男人,用Messrs,就是Misters的意思,不过不要跟名字,跟姓就行啦.例如:
Messrs.Smith,Wyatt,andFury。
女人呢?
用Mesdames,Mmes.,orMses.同样不要跟名字.例子:
Mses.Farb,Lionel,andGray。
男女一齐呢?
弄清楚称呼就行.例如:
Dr.andMrs.HaroldWright;Mr.HaroldWrightandDr.MargaretWright;Mr.andMrs.HarveyAdams-Quinn。
3.有人有自己头衔就要跟紧,例如有人有荣誉学位就不喜欢用一般的头衔啊~有时大头不知道对方头衔,干脆用Ms.算了.Ms.SarahGray
4.地址要低日期至少两行.处名时,职衔短可以一行过,长就下一行吧.例如:
KenGreen,President/KenGreen/VicePresidentofInternationalOperations
但这个就显得有点。
。
。
:
KenGreen/VicePresidentofUnicomChina
正确应为:
KenGreen/VicePresident,UnicomChina
5.老外的名字有时有Jr.或Sr.,之前的逗点是随你喜欢的,以下都是正确,不要笑人:
MichaelJ.Smith,Jr./MichaelJ.SmithSr.
6.外国国名尽量用大写.是为尊重,也方便邮差叔叔.
7.地址上的数字直接用阿拉伯数字吧,除了One,例子:
127NinthAvenue,North
127E.15Street
5ParkAvenue
OneWingrenPlaza
556-91Street
给客户报价后跟进的英文邮件如何写
在平时商务往来中,本人发现很多客户在对公司某个产品价格询盘后,我及时给予报价,但是报价后就一直没有客户的反应,没有见有订单。
像这种情况下,作为一个销售人员,应该如何处理呢?
应该写什么内容的邮件去给客户以求进一步跟进呢?
应该在发出报价后几天内发出邮件比较合适呢?
针对这些问题,本人提出以下三个解决方法,如果哪位网友有更好地办法,不妨拿出来让大家一起参考。
回复A:
直接去函敦促
DearHugoChu,
Wisheverythingwellwithyouandyouresteemedcompany!
WeareinreceiptofyourletterdatedAug10,andasrequestedwasexpressedyou3cataloguesforourrefrigerationgoods.Wehopetheywillreachyouinduecourseandwillhelpyouinmakingyourselection.
Wishwewillpromotebusinessaswellasfriendship!
Bestwishes!
Aaron
回复B:
先写邮件问清情况。
本人觉得先写邮件问清情况,简单的询问,如HAVEYOURECEIVEDMYP/I,ISTHEREANYQUESTIONORPROBLEMWITHYOU?
再问何时开L/C或汇订金过来.....如客户没回复,那你应该(很有必要)打个电话过去问清情况。
是价格问题还是临时发生改变?
客户是中间商,还在等最终客户的确认?
还是其它问题?
然后根据情况做一些措施看能否挽回这一张订单。
DearSir,
Goodmorning!

回复C:
如果仍然没有回音的话,可以在一、两个月后再写一封信。

英文邮件e-mail退信常见英语提示
做外贸联系国外客户常见的退信如下.这有帮助你更好的与客户联系.也有助与你与国外邮局写信告诉他事情的改善申请.所以以下的E-MAIL术语要懂.

Notfound没有发现,那你就要另找其他的邮件了.找不到客户的邮箱域名服务器肯定没有办法发邮件.或许是你的邮局不支持海外发送,被国外邮局拒绝了,所以你可以用其他的邮箱测试.
