Unit 1
PERFORMING A CONTRACT
А.
TEXT
A contract is the most accepted formal document confirming the decision1 of the contracting parties to carry out mutual business obligations.
The major contract clauses include articles on legal titles of the parties, subject of the contract, quality and quantity of the goods, terms of inspection, delivery and payment, requirements for packing and marking, claims and arbitration and other articles.
As a rule concluding a contract2 is preceded by discussing the enquiry2 of the Buyer and the offer of the Seller.
B. *
Enquiry
Most letters of enquiry are short and simple. The writer of an enquiry states briefly and clearly what he is interested in, and this is all the receiver of the letter needs to know.
An enquiry should include:
A brief mention of how you obtained your potential supplier's name.
Some indication of the demand in your area for the goods which the supplier can sell.
Details of what you would like your prospective supplier to send you. Normally you will be interested in a catalogue, a price-list, discounts, methods of payment, delivery times, and, where appropriate, samples.
d) A closing sentence to complete the enquiry. Here are some examples of enquiries.

OFFER
A reply to an enquiry which is an offer, is usually fairly brief, and does not need to be more than polite and direct, provided the supplier is in a position to meet his correspondent's requirements, his reply will generally:
