Dear Sir or Madam,

Your company has been recommended to us. We're told that you're interested in establishing business relations with a Chinese company for the purpose of exporting various products of your country and importing Chinese manufactured goods.

We specialize in Sino-European trade, but we have had no previous contact with your company. We're writing this email to you in order to ascertain whether cooperation to the advantage of both companies could be established. We hope you could send us details and prices of the goods you would like to sell in China. We shall be glad to study their sale possibilities here.

In the mean time, please favor us with a list of the products you are interested in purchasing from us, so that we could give you all the necessary information. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours truly,

Li Ming

尊敬的先生/女士：

有人把贵公司介绍给我们，告诉我们贵公司有兴趣与一家中国的公司建立业务往来，以便出口贵国的多种产品，同时进口中国制造的商品。

我们公司专门从事中欧贸易，但尚未与贵公司建立业务往来。因此我们写邮件想确定是否能达成对双方都有利的合作。我们希望贵公司能发来你们想在中国销售的货物的详细情况和价格，我们将乐意调研它们在这里销售的可能性。

同时，若贵公司有兴趣从我们公司购买产品，请开列一张清单给我们，以便我们向贵公司提供所需资料。期待早日收到贵公司的回信。

您真诚的，

李明

商业书信是商家、厂家与客户之间保持联系的主要途径。正文应尽量精简内容，语言力求简洁通俗，使收信人看上去一目了然、读起来通顺。首段应点明写信的目的和缘由，引起对方的兴趣和注意;末段应使对方读完信后有清楚的认识和想法，以便得到迅速回应。

目前我们很想扩大各种手机的贸易，但遗憾的是我们之前和欧洲国家没有业务往来。
