说明涨价原因

Dear Sir or Madam:

Enclosed is our new price list which will come into effect the end of this month. You will see that we have increased our prices on most models. We have, however, refrained from doing so on some models of which we hold large stocks. The explanation for our increased prices stems from the fact that we are now paying 10% more for our raw materials than we were paying last year, along with some of our subcontractors having raised their prices as much as 15%.

As you know, we take great pride in our product an dare proud of the reputation for quality and dependability we have built over 15years. We will not compromise that reputation because of raising costs. We have, therefore, decided to raise the price of some of our products.

We hope you will understand our position and look forward to your cooperation.

对价格作出让步

Dear Sir or Madam:

Thank you for your mail. We are disappointed to hear that our price for your required product is too high for your acceptance. You mentioned that Japanese goods are being offered to you at a price approximately 8% lower than our quote.

We accept your position, but we are of the opinion that the quality of the other makes does not measure up to that of our products. Although we are keen to do business with you, we regret that we cannot accept your counter offer.

We do want to try and work with you, and meet your request, but the best we can do is to reduce our previous quotation by 3%.We hope that this will meet your approval.

We look forward to hearing from you.

With best regards,

催客人下单成功的信件[外贸常用英语]Dear b,Glad you talk with you about the okoume now decide to give you FOB lianyungang USD 0000 to make the first trial order .It is our best and last quotation 。

1）报价时候就应该有个弹性的时间算进去，给自己一些余量来应对突发的问题。

2）总结工厂的生产习惯，确定正常的交货期限，如果和工厂关系不错，可以给工厂提些提高管理方面的意见或建议。找理由不如找原因。

3）选择供应商很重要。不要找那些盛气凌人的大工厂，找个中等或者小规模（有扶持价值的），质量OK，配合度高，管理不松懈的。

让工厂给出订单生产开始日期，每天常规的产量，预计结束日期。有些工厂如果你就是他的主要客户，那你甚至可以让他们做个表格，隔几天就给你发生产进度表，可以更清楚地掌握生产情况。

4) 经常拖交期的供应商会间接降低你企业在买家心中的形象，因此建议定期对供应商进行评估。

5）要经常和供应商沟通，了解供应商的近期订单和生产情况。

在工厂困难的时候，比如淡季时，有些订单宁愿自己利润低一些也要坚决接下来，只是少赚一点，但却有可能帮工厂度过难关，甚至救工厂一命。这样在旺季的时候，工厂也会尽最大努力帮你。反之工厂忙的时候不会理你。

6）不要完全相信工厂的话，有时候工厂会迫于压力告诉你货已经做了。如果距离近的话可以经常到工厂去看看他们的生产情况和进度。如果远的话，可以让工厂让他们拍几张照片来看看，不要说你要看，而是客户要看。

7）有些对交货期要求比较高的订单，告诉工厂客户做的是信用证订单，交期延误范围不能超过5天，否则延误船期，出货会有风险。平时不要“板凳功力”太深，经常跑跑工厂和车间，验验货。

有些事情你持续跟，持续做，要求高一些，时间长了，工厂也就理所当然的提高了交货期意识和配合度。

Dear Sir or Madam:

Thank you for your letter of credit covering your order for 10,000 widgets.

We regret to say that, owing to a delay on the part of our suppliers, we will not be able to get the shipment ready before the end of this month. We faxed you earlier today to that effect.

We expect that the consignment will be ready for shipment in the early part of August. We are arranging to ship it on the Great Wall-sailing from Shanghai on 7 August.

We are looking forward to receiving your faxed extension to the letter of credit so that we can effect shipment of the goods.

We send our sincere apologies for the delay and trust that it will not inconvenience you.

Yours sincerely,

Hillary

外贸函电常用范文催促船期 第十一篇

外贸函电书写基本原则

一、Courtesy 礼貌

语言要有礼且谦虚，及时地回信也是礼貌的表现。

例如：

We have received with many thanks your letter of 20 May, and we take the pleasure of sending you our latest catalog. We wish to draw your attention to a special offer which we have made in it.

You will be particularly interested in a special offer on page 5 of the latest catalog enclosed, which you requested in your letter of 20 May.

二、Consideration 体谅

写信时要处处从对方的角度去考虑有什么需求，而不是从自身出发，语气上更尊重对方。

例如：

“You earn 2 percent discount when you pay cash. We will send you the brochure next month. ”就比 “We allow 2 percent discount for cash payment. We won't be able to send you the brochure this month.” 要好。
