EnquiryA letter of enquiry is a formal letter that makes an approach to an individual or organization either speculatively or in response to printed public domain material whereby you are requesting some information. An example of a letter of enquiry would be a letter sent to a company requesting a copy of their catalogue or brochure. By their very nature letters of enquiry are short and to the point, it is usually beneficial to include other methods of contact in case the company needs to get in touch with via other means. A routine letter of enquiry usually contains a request to send some information, a catalogue, a price list, a sample, a quotation, an estimate, etc. When making an enquiry, observe the following rules: Ø Start with the question(s) you want to ask; what you enquiry about must be stated clearly and concisely. Ø State or imply reasons for your enquiry. It would be quite natural to give your supplier details of your own business or tell him how you obtained his name or address. Ø Express appreciation for the expected cooperation. Make sure you know expressions most commonly used in letters of enquires.
