1） We learned from the Commercial Counselor's Office of our Embassy in your country that you are interested in Chinese handicraft
2） Mr.Bowins, Head of Arcolite Electric AG has recommended you to us as a leading importer in Korea of lightweight batteries for vehicles.
3）We have obtained your name and address from the Internet.
4） Our market survey showed that you are the largest importer of cases and bags in Egypt. 当然还有很多的英文表达方式，我就不一一列出来了，反正大家只要知道就行。
第二： 言明去函目的 一般来说，我们给客户写信，总是以开发业务，建立市场，拓宽产品销路为目的。
所以我们可以有如下的表达方式： 1） In order to expand our products into South America, we are writing to you to seek cooperate possibilities. 2） We are writing to you to establish long-term trade relations with you 3） We wish to express our desire to enter into business relationship with you
第三：本公司概述
我这里所说的本公司介绍，包括对公司性质、业务范围、宗旨等基本情况的介绍，以及对公司某些相对优势的介绍，比如：经验丰富、供货渠道稳定、有广泛的销售网等。我们可以用英文如下表达： 1） We are a leading company with many years' experience in machinery export business.
2） We enjoy a good reputation internationally in the circle of textile
3） We have our principle as "Clients' needs come first".
4） A credible sales network has been set up and we have our regular clients from over 100 countries and regions worldwide
5） Located in Shanghai, we take the advantage to set up our solidified production basis in coasted and inland areas.
第四：产品介绍 这一部分最重要，一定花心思去写。如果我们已经知道客户有明确的需求，比如需要某某服装，那么我们会选取某某服装进行具体的推荐性介绍，反正就是针对客户需求的特定介绍；如果我们只拿到客户的名片，不太清楚客户的需求，那么我们就把公司经营产品的整体情况，如质量标准，价格水平，打样速度、交货速度等作为笼统的介绍 当然附上目录，CATALOGUE，报价单或者另寄样品供客户选择也是经常采取的做法。 1） Art.No.102 is our newly launched one with superb quality,fashionable design,and competitive price.
2） We have a good variety of colors and sizes to meet with different needs
3） Our products are enjoying popularity in Asian markets
4） To give you a general idea of our products,we are enclosing our catalogue for your reference.
第五：激励性结尾 一般我们在开发信的末尾会写上一两句希望对方给与回应或者劝客户立刻采取行动的语句。 1） Your comments on our products or any information on your market demand will be really appreciated.
2） We are looking forward to your specific inquiries.
We have obtained your name and address from Internet I will introuduce my selif to you,my name is navy zhang,i come from the famous plywood city-linyi,Shandong province,china

另外几招： 第1招 妥善安排会面的约定 —Id like to make an appointment with Mr. Lee.
当你计划到海外出差，顺道拜访客户时，必须先以书信通知对方。出国以前再以Telex或电话向对方确认访问的日期和目的。如果是临时决定的拜访，也要通过对方的秘书安排，告诉她："Id like to make an appointment with Mr.Lee."（我想和李先生约见一次。）让对方对你的造访有所准备，才会有心情和你洽谈。
第2招 向沟通对手表示善意与欢迎 I will arrange everything.
如果沟通是由你发起，提供对手一切的方便，能使沟通一开始便在友善和谐的气氛下进行。尤其是当你的沟通对手是远道而来的，你热心地告知他：“I will arrange everything." (我会安排一切。)不但表现出你的诚意，也能使他在不必顾虑食宿等琐事的情况下，专心与你进行沟通。
第3招 沟通进行中应避免干扰 —No interruptions during the meeting! 如果沟通的地点是在你的公司，那么请叮咛你的部属，勿在沟通过程中做不必要的干扰。因为过份的干扰会影响沟通的意愿和热忱。
如果你明显地犯了错，并且对别人造成或大或小的伤害，一句充满歉意的“Im sorry. Its my fault."（对不起，是我的错。）通常能够获得对方的原谅。就算他实在很懊恼，至少也能稍微缓和一下情绪。做无谓的辩解，只能火上加油，扩大事端。.
第6招 抱怨不是无理取闹 —I have a complaint to make. 以激愤的语气向人抱怨某事，很可能令人心生反感，而使结果适得其反。服务员上错了菜，旅馆女服务员忘了整理你的房间，送来的货物根本不是你订单上所指明的东西等情况，着实令人懊恼。但是生气并不能解决问题，不如心平气和而语气坚定地告诉对方 "I have a complaint to make.”（我有怨言。）然后告诉他所发生的事。
第7招 资料须充实完备 —We have a pamphlet in English.
具体的物品通常比口头描述更有说服力。当客户听到你说 "We have a pamphlet in English．"（我们有英文的小册子。）或 "Please take this as a sample"（请将这个拿去当样品。）时，一定会兴趣大增，进而问你许多和产品有关的问题。如果你平时资料搜集得全面，便能有问必答。这在商务沟通上是非常有利的。
第8招 缓和紧张的气氛 --How abouta break？ 当会议因冗长而陷于沉闷、紧张的气氛时，做无意义的僵持是无法获得令人满意的结果的。如果能在不打断对方的情形下提出“How about a break？”（休息一下如何？）对方必能欣然接受，紧张的气氛也立刻得以经解。当你们再回到会议桌时，也能以清晰的思路继续沟通。
第9招 做个周到的主人 —You can use our office equipment if necessary. 如果沟通是在你的公司进行，除了应向沟通对手提供舒适的场所以外，更应该尽量配合对手，向他提供有助于沟通进行的服务与设备。例如，大大方方地告诉他“ You can use our office equipment if necessary.”（如果必要的话，您可以使用我们的办公室设备。）协助对手对沟通内容做正确的衡量，其结果可能也是对己方极为有利的。
第10招 询问对方的意见 —What is your opinion? 每个人都希望自己的意见受到重视。当你和他人进行沟通时，除了说出自己的想法以外，随时可加上一句“What is your opinion？”（你的意见是？）或“ Id like to hear your ideas about the problem．”（我想听听你对这个问题的看法。）不但让对方感觉受到重视，更能使你们因思想的交流而逐渐达成协议。
第11招 清楚地说出自己的想法与决定 —I think I should call a lawyer.
如果在沟通场合中，你无法详实地说出心中的意念，不仅会使对方听得满头雾水，说不定还会让对方认为你对实际情形根本不了解，而失去和你沟通的兴致。试想假如你在向警察描述车祸的发生时，不能提醒他“Ihad theright-of-way."（我有优先行驶权。）或没告诉他?I think I should call a lawyer."（我想我该叫个律师。）你也许因此而吃了大亏。还有很多情况是特别需要提供详实资料的，例如：向医生叙述你的病痛，告诉理发师你所要的发型，向客户讲解产品的特性等。平常多注意英美人士对这类场合的应对，您这方面的英语一定会大有进步！
第12招 找出问题症结 --What seems to be the trouble？ 任何一个冲突或误解的产生，都有潜在原因。为什么你的老客户这回不向你的公司订货？为什么对方不能达到你的要求？这种情况发生时，要立刻积极地探索原因。向对方探询“What seems to be the troubte？”（有什么困难吗？）或问一句“Is there something that needs our attention?" 有什么需要我们注意的吗？）都能表示你对事情的关切。知道问题的症结，才有办法进行沟通
第13招 要有解决问题的诚意 —Please tell me about it. 当客户向你提出抱怨时，你应该做的事是设法安抚他。最好的办法就是对他提出的抱怨表示关切与解决的诚意。你的一句“Please tell me about it”（请告诉我这件事的情况。）或“Im sorry for my error and assure you I will take great care in performing the work”（我为我的错误感到抱歉，并向您保证，我会尽全力处理此事。）令对方觉得你有责任感，也会恢复对你的信任。
第14招 适时提出建议 --We＇ll send you a replacement right away. 当损失已经造成时，适时地提出补救方法，往往能使沟通免于陷入僵局，甚至于得以圆满地达成协议。例如：你运送到客户手上的货物，的确不是订单上所标明的，而你又能立即向他保证 "We＇ll send you a replacement right away." （我们会立即寄给您一批替换品。）或者告诉他“We can adjust the price for you if you keep the material．”（如果您留下这批材料，我们可以为您调整价格。）那么，客户心中的忧虑必定立刻减半，而愿意考虑您的提议
第15招 随时确认重要的细节 —Is this waht we decided? 商务洽谈中，一牵扯到金额、交货条件和日期时，除了洽谈当时要用口头复述加以确认外，合约拟好后，更要详细地过目一遍。一旦发现疑点，应立刻询问对方“Is this what we decided? ”（这是我们说定的吗？）合约内容真的错得离谱，就应告诉对方“I＇ll have to return this contract to you unsigned."（我得将这份合约退还给你，不能签名。）以示抗议。任何合约上的问题，宁可罗嗦一点，也决不可含糊。
第16招 听不懂对方所说的话时，务必请他重复 —Would you mind repeating it?
英语不是我们的母语，听不懂是很自然的。听不懂又装懂，那才是有害的。其实请人家重复或再讲清楚一点并不难，你只要说”Would you mind repeating it?"（您介意再讲一遍吗？），相信对方不但会再说一遍，而且连速度都会放慢些。如果你还是没听懂，那么仍然要用这个老方法：“Could you explain it more precisely?”（您能解释得更明白一点吗？
第17招 使谈判对手作肯定答复的问题 —Is it important that …? 连续发问沟通对手给予肯定答复的问题，最后引导他对你的主要建议也作有定的答复，是绝对须要花费一番心思的。通常沟通对手只对自己有利的问题，才会痛快地回答“Yes”。因此，在沟通场合开始前，不妨先细心地想一下，你所希望对方接受的条件，对他有什么好处，试着以“Is it important that …?”（…是不是对您很重要？）或“Is it helpful if …?”（如果…是不是对你有帮助？）未获得他的肯定，那么要使你的建议通过也不难了。
第18招 做适当的让步 —The best compromise we can maks is... 沟通双方的互相让步，最常见的例子就是讨价还价。买方希望卖方减价一百五十元，而卖方只想减价五十元，双方一阵讨价还价之后，最后减了一百元。不论你的对手是如何的咄咄逼人，你总得做一个最后的让步：“The best compromise we can make is … ”（我们所能做的最好的折衷办法是…）或是“ This is the lowest possible price．”（这是最低的可能价格了。）然后坚定不移，否则如果让步得太过，你可就要有所损失了
第19招 不要仓促地做决定 —Please let me think it over. 在商场上讲求信用，一旦允诺人家的事情，要再反悔，会令人产生不良印象。因此，在下决定之前，务必要经过深思熟虑。如果你正在和客户商谈一件无法遂下决定的事时，不妨请他给你一点时间“Please let me think it over．”（请让我考虑一下。）或“ Would it be all right to give you an answer tomorrow？”（明天再答复您行吗？）切记，仓促地下决定往往招致严重的后果！ 第20招 说“不”的技巧 --No, but … 在商务沟通上，该拒绝时，就应该斩钉截铁地说“No．”拐弯抹角地用“That＇s difficult"（那很困难。）或“Yes, but..."（好是好，可是…）来搪塞，会令对方觉得你答应得不够干脆，而不是在委婉地拒绝。如果你说“No，but…”对方便清楚地知道你是拒绝了，但似乎还可以谈谈。这个时候，你因为已先用“No”牵制对方，而站在沟通的有利位置上了。
第21招 不要催促对手下决定 --Stop asking "Have you decided?" 当你的沟通对方需要时间来考虑一下方案时，千万不要一直催促他“Hare you decided?”（你决定了没有？)那样，你不但干扰了他的思考，也可能激怒他。结果原本可能达成的协议或许就此泡汤了。
第22招 沉默是金" —Silence is golden 面对对方所提无法接受的提议，沉默是最有力的回答。这种无动于衷所带给沟通对手的压力，远大于浇他一盆冷水。将所达成的协议逐一列入记录—— Let＇s have the agreed items recorded.为了避免签约时的争执或重新商议，交涉中达成协议的项目应做成记录，并在会议结束时传阅。因此，每达成一项协议，要记得提醒对方“Let＇s have the agreed items recorded." 我们声达成协议的项目记录下来。）
第23招 过分吹牛，足以败事 --Don＇t boast!
磋商者往往为了达成协议而向交涉对手做过份不实的吹嘘。这种情形在向他人推销产品时，尤其常见。顾客因听信你的吹牛而购买产品，进而造成损失，轻者不再与你打交道；严重的，恐怕还要告你欺诈，多划不来！所以在向他人做“ We can give you a guarantee 100 years.”（我们可以给您一百年的保证。）这一类的承诺时，最好先斟酌一番
第24招 不浪费沟通对手的时间 - ...then I＇ll drive you to the airport for your flight at 7:00. 在沟通开始以前，最好事先得知沟通对手的行程表，并尽量配合。当你和客户谈好了一切细节以后，你对他说“I＇ll have my secretary type the contract for you to sign at once, then I＇ll drive you to the airport for your flight at 7:00. (我会让我的秘书立刻将合同打好给您签名，然后，我开车送您去机场搭七点钟的飞机。)想必他一定会感激你的周到细心，因此也会采取合作的态度。
第25招 电子采购: 集约经营的法宝! —internet is King 面对日趋频繁的跨国公司全球采购，国内许多企业缺乏与全球采购系统对接的经验，不知该如何将产品通过全球采购平台打入国际市场。去跟贴是一种友情 一种欣赏别人的善良外贸论坛的电子商务栏目选取合适的b2b站点
第26招 达到目地，立即离开 —I＇m glad to have met you, Mr. Lee. 如果协议达成，而你仍流连忘返，则有以下两种危险：沟通对手改变主意；或者你可能因松懈而目不择言，说错了话。因此商议一完成，立即以 "I＇m glad to have met you, Mr. Lee."（李先生，很高兴认识您。）收场，告别离去
第27招 充满信心地进行沟通 —You can ask me any question. 任何有心沟通的人，都希望他的沟通对手是个举足轻重的人物。让对手认为你是有决策力的人，最直接的方法便是一见面就告诉他“ You can ask me anyquestion．”（您可以问我任何问题。）如果你在对方面前处处显得紧张兮兮，不是一直抽烟，就是不断干咳，对方必定会怀疑他跟你之间的沟通效果。因此面对每一个沟通场合，一定要充满信心
第28招 对沟通对手的专长与能力表示认知 --I know you are good at …. 每个人都对自己的才能引以为荣。向你的沟通对手表示你认知他的能力，并寄希望他有所表现：“I know you are good at handling difficult situations, and I believe I can count on you."（我知道你擅于处理棘手问题，并相信我可以依赖您。）相信他一定不愿意让你失望。
第29招 以肯定的语气，谈论对手的问题 —I believe our experts can give you helpful advice for the problem in your company.
当对手正在为某个问题烦恼，而你正好能够帮他忙，一句 "I believe our experts can give you helpful advice for the problem in your company." （我相信我们的专家能提供对贵公司问题有帮助的建议。）必能使他宽慰不已，立刻表现合作的态度，而你的沟通力也大大增加了。
每一封信函的往来，都是您跟收信人彼此之间的一次交流。人都是感性的，所以您需要在您的信函里体现感性的一面。然而很多人都有一种误解，以为写作商务信函就应该用一种特殊的“生意腔”，于是把一封本来应该是热情而友好的信函写得呆板而死气沉沉。他们宁愿写“Your letter has been received”，“Your complaint is being looked into”而不是“I have received your letter”或者“We are looking into your complaint”。
想象一下，如果您由于无法准时交货而在电话上跟您的合作伙伴表示歉意时，您会怎么说？我想您会说“I am sorry we cannot deliver the goods today”。既然在电话中您会这样说，为什么在信件中要改成“It is regretted that goods cannot be delivered today”？放弃这种所谓的“生意腔”吧，让您的信也象谈话那样简单，自然，人性化。
在同一封信函里，不要使用多个相同含义的单词。比如，您前面写了“goods have been sent”，那后面再提到这件事时就不要再用其他单词如“forward”“dispatch”等。因为这样写会误导您的读者无谓地去考虑这些词之间是否另有含义。 当涉及到数据或者具体的信息时，比如时间，地点，价格，货号等等，尽可能做到精确。这样会使交流的内容更加清楚，更有助于加快事务的进程。 请在邮件中写上对方公司的名称，或者在信头直接称呼收件人的名字。这样会让对方知道这封邮件是专门给他的，而不是那种群发的通函，从而表示对此的重视。当然，如果您无法确定收信人的名字，那就在称呼一栏里写“Dear Sirs” or “Dear Sir or Madam”
前面我们说过，商务信函不需要用华丽的词句。根据西方的语言习惯，他们更愿意使用简练而朴实的语言。所以当我们跟西方人进行商务沟通时，也要尽量避免华丽复杂的词句。比如“We look forward to a bright and glorious future of cooperation”，就不如直接写成“We hope to have the opportunity to work together with you in the future.”，这样才更加符合西方人的语言习惯。
这一点是特别针对写电子邮件的。也许很多人都没有意识到，事实上，E-mail的标题是很重要的一个部分，您的邮件给对方的第一个印象就是通过标题来完成的。如果标题没有内容，看起来象群发的垃圾邮件的话，很多买家就会直接删除。比如这样的标题“How are you?” ，“Can we work together?”，建议您改成“Proposal: Bright Ideas Imports--Zhejiang Textile's Partnership Opportunity”或者“Introduction: Our Product Offerings for Bright Ideas Imports.”这样您的邮件会显得更加专业。

在写邮件时,开头不要写如何获取客户的联系方式,因为在信息发达的现代社会,客户不会关心你从哪得知的,他们关心的是他们的消费者从哪里得知他们的联系方式.在介绍自己公司时,要说明自己公司的行业及产品,产品说品名即可,什么规格加工方式不要提,客户没耐心看完的.最好的开头语是We have learned that you are dealing in...或you are a wholesaler and distributor of...然后再介绍自己的公司及产品.
其次,不要写我们的公司的产品enjoy great populrity all over of the world,因为客户心里明白,只要是给他们发邮件的供货商不是傻子,不可能不吹嘘自己的产品,至于真的好坏,他们并不知道.写了浪费时间.所以介绍完自己的公司及产品时,要客户知道你们产品的质量和信誉,而不直接表达出来是要一定的巧的.

澳大利亚总裁教你写开发信
Hello XX，
You are quite correct I am extremely busy every day and I would imagine so other business men. I have talked to other men in similar business to us and they also regard all the emails they receive everyday from suppliers around the world as a waste of time and annoying.
I’m not sure if I can help you but I have a few suggestions re email marketing.
If you send emails to new companies I would include a list of customers that you currently export to in various countries
I would also include customer testimonials from your buyers. This are very powerful and give you credibility.
Try to word your email differently from all the other suppliers. They all look and sound the same so most of them will be deleted or ignored immediately
If you want to be noticed and if you want your email to be read you must be different and create an email that is interesting and will catch the attention of your prospective customer. If you don’t then you will be rejected just like all the others. Remember that companies like us and others who import product are very concerned about quality control of products.
Unfortunately China has gained a reputation as a supplier of cheap but poor quality products. Price is always important but it is not the MOST important part of a product.
