5.4.Письмо-подтверждение
Письмо-подтверждение направляют в двух случаях:
1) Если отправитель хочет сообщить, что им получено письмо, какие-либо информационные материалы или документы. В этом случае используется глагол «to acknowledge» в значении «подтверждать получение чего-либо, сообщать о получении чего-либо».
Такие письма обычно начинают фразами:
-
We acknowledge with thanks receipt of your letter ...
С благодарностью подтверждаем получение Вашего письма ...
We thank you for your letter of ...
Благодарим Вас за Ваше письмо от ...
We have received your fax ...
Подтверждаем получение Вашего факса ...
Please acknowledge receipt of...
Просим подтвердить получение ...

The Secretary 16th March 2001
International Trade Inc.

Orlando, Florida,
USA
Annual meeting report
Dear Secretary
I acknowledge with thanks receipt of the report on the annual meeting of the shareholders of International Trade Inc.
I hope it will not take me long to study it and send you back my comments to it.
Yours faithfully
Lesley Brown
2) Если отправитель хочет сообщить, что предварительная договоренность, достигнутая в личной беседе, по телефону или на переговорах остается в силе, no в этом случае используется глагол «to confirm» в значении «подтверждать, окончательно согласовать, ратифицировать ранее достигнутые договоренности».
Наиболее часто в таком письме-подтверждении используются следующие фразы:
We confirm by this letter our telephone conversation concerning ... |
Этим письмом подтверждаем наш телефонный разговор ... |
|
|
|
|
We would be grateful if you would confirm ... |
Мы были бы благодарны Вам, если бы Вы подтвердили ... |

5.5.Письмо-приглашение
Письмо-приглашение можно рассматривать как часть делового этикета, в котором существуют свои правила и нормы. Поводом для приглашения могут послужить переговоры, ознакомление партнера с работой вашей компании, проведение партнерами совместных собраний, конференций, официальных или торжественных мероприятий (презентаций, приемов и т.д.). Уровень мероприятия диктует форму и стиль направляемого приглашения. Если речь идет о рабочей деловой поездке или обычных деловых переговорах, то достаточно подготовить деловое письмо-приглашение. Например:
18 July 2001
Dear Mr Robinson
We have the pleasure to invite you to visit our company for the purpose of discussing our further cooperation. We suggest that the meeting should be held in Moscow on the 15th August this year. Please let us know if this time is convenient for you.
Looking forward to your soonest reply.
Yours sincerely
Ronny Clyde, General Manager Export—Import Ltd
|
Правила делового этикета требуют непременного ответа на приглашение независимо от того, сможете (или захотите) вы принять его или нет. В любом случае необходимо поблагодарить приглашающую сторону за проявленное внимание.
В случае если вы принимаете приглашение, можно послать следующий ответ:
1 Aug, 2001 Dear Mr Clyde
We have received your letter dated 18 July 2001.
We greatly appreciate your invitation to Mr Robinson to visit you for the purpose of discussing this matter. The time of the visit suggested by you, namely after the 15th August, is quite convenient for us. Mr Robinson proposes flying to Moscow about 10 August and we will advise you of the exact date after his flight has been arranged.
Yours sincerely
Glen Fines, Assistant to General Manager
|
В случае невозможности принять приглашение направляется письмо-извинение с объяснением причин, почему вы не можете его принять. Например:
1 Aug, 2001 Dear Mr Clyde
We have received your letter dated the 18th July 2001. We thank you for your invitation to Mr Robinson to visit you for the purpose of discussing this matter. Unfortunately Mr Robinson is unable to accept your invitation owing to a previous engagement.
We would appreciate if you could postpone the meeting till early September. Mr Robinson proposes flying to Moscow about the 5th September and could visit your company if this time is convenient for you.
Yours sincerely
Glen Fines, Assistant to General Manager
