If you are writing to your partner for the first time it would be polite to start your correspondence with introduction of your firm. First of all you have to describe your organization in short and to represent its aims and tasks in the sphere of international business activity. Then you may praise your firm or represent its advantages among the other firms. You can also send an advertising booklet representing your products and a sphere of activity. If you are not acquainted with your partner quite well it would be better to find out what kind of business activity this company represents and what possibilities of future co-operation you can get. At the end of the letter you should express your hopes for fruitful co-activity.
