Confirming agreements reached
3. Dear Mr. /
Ms,
Last
Friday,
when
we
were
discussing
the
problems
of
defective
containers. You
suggested that I simply mail you a report each
month on the
number
of
return
by
customers
rather
than
send
the
defective
containers
to
you.
I plan to put this into
effect at once. But, I first want to make sure
that I
understand you correctly. If I
don't hear from you within the coming week, I'll
assume that you approve.
Yours faithfully
尊敬的先生

上周五，我们讨论了
次品集装箱的问题，你建议我只需把顾客每月退回的次
品集装箱的数量写个报告给你，而
不是直接退集装箱。
我计划立即付诸现实。但我想确认我理解正确，到下周为止，如我不能收到
< br>你的来信，我即认为
你没有异议。
你诚挚的

Dear Mr/Ms,
As our

and proceeded so
smoothly, I thought it
might be advisable to summarize the agreement:

You asked for US$$60
I countered US$$58/kg
You accepted the figure
I look forward to signing
the contract when we meet next week.
Yours faithfully

你同意这个价格。下周见面时我期待能签定合同。

二．办公英语：道歉与解释
Appology
Mr. / Ms,
We are sorry we cannot
send you immediately the catalogue and price list
for which you asked in your letter of
March 10. Supplies are expected from the
printers
in
two
weeks
and
as
soon
as
we
receive
them,
we
will
send
you
a
copy.
Yours faithfully
尊敬的先生
/
小姐，
< br>
对三月十日来信所要目录和价格单，
很抱歉不能马上寄去。
印刷商两周后供货，
一旦
收到，我们将给您寄去一份。
您诚挚的
Mr. / Ms,
I was very concerned when
I received your letter of yesterday complaining
that the central heating system in your
new house had not been completed by
the
date promised.
On
referring to our earlier correspondence,I find
that I had mistaken the date
for
completion. The fault is entirely mine and I
deeply regret that it should have
occurred.
I
realize the inconvenience our oversight must be
causing you and will do
everything
possible to avoid any further delay. I have
already given instructions
for the work
to have priority and the engineers working on the
job to be placed
on
overtime.
These
arrangements
should
see
the
installation
completed
by
next weekend.
Yours faithfully
尊敬的先生
/
小姐，
< br>
昨天收到你的来信，
抱怨你新家的中央加热系统未按规定时间装好，
对此我非
常关心
。参考较早的通信，我发现我搞错了完成日期。错误完全是我的，对此我
非常抱歉。
认识到我们的疏忽给你造成的不
便，
我们将竭尽全力避免再耽搁。
我已指示这
< br>项工作优先做并让工程人员加班。这样安排会于下周完成安装。
