h) Letters of Confirmation

There are two cases:

When you need to acknowledge receipt of a document (a letter, a telex, an offer or a contract, etc.), you just write: «We have received your letter of the 2nd of July...»

When you need to confirm the previous agreement (arrangement) made on the telephone, by telegram, by telex or by word of mouth, concerning the price, the terms of payment or delivery, the date of the talks, etc., then you write: «We are writing to confirm our today's telephone conversation about price...»

Dear Sir, We are interested in the new model of harvester advertised by you in the current number of the Industry and we are considering ordering 3 machines on trial. We need harvesters in a month's time. The advertisement, however, does not give sufficient information about the delivery time and otherwise.

Therefore we should appreciate further details as soon as possible. We hope to establish business relations with your company and are looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,
