我的日志
Dear Sirs,
We write to introduce ourselves as one of the largest exporters, from China, of a wide range of Machinery and Equipments.
We enclose a copy of our latest catalog covering the details of all the items available at present, and hope some of these items will be of interest of you.
It will be a great pleasure to receive your inquiries for any of the items against which we will send you our lowest quotations.
Should, by chance, your corporation not deal with the import of the goods mentioned above, we would be most grateful if this letter could be forwarded to the correct import corporation.
We are looking forward to your favourable and prompt reply.
Yours faithfully,
