BUSINESS ENGLISH - HOW TO ENQUIRE IN THE RIGHT WAY

BUSINESS ENGLISH - HOW TO ENQUIRE IN THE RIGHT WAY
 It is basically asking for information.
 How do we ask in such a way that the clients
respond to you asap.
 How to urge while sounding like you are not
urging at all 
 Enquire vs inquire
 In the commercial world, we don’t inquire, we
only enquire.
 Enquire –ask questions
 Inquire - do an investigation
Emails should be concise.
Emails should have:
1.Salutation
2.Greeting/opening sentences
3.Body
4.Concluding sentences
5.Complimentary close/Signature
 Dear Douglas,
 Good day. We are happy to inform that we

 We would like to know if any of your sales
personnel could come and do a
demonstration for us at our office one of
these days so that we can understand the
functions better.

 Dear Max,
Good day to you. We are looking for a web site
designer for our official site I am writing to enquire
