        本周，筆者要和大家討論的是如何用英文詢問價錢。筆者工作多年，深明各位文職們的辛酸，知道大家每天除了需要處理眾多事項外，還要為公司處理大量商業電郵。筆者過往經常處理各種各樣的商業電郵，其中較常處理的就是詢價電郵。一般來說，我們會發電郵予對方，直接詢問某產品型號的價格，然而，當有客製化需要的時候，我們便需向對方提出有關要求，務求得到估算後的報價。既然詢價電郵是其中一類我們較常需要撰寫的電郵，那麼，我們確實理應好好學習如何駕馭這類電郵的撰寫方式，好讓自己工作得更輕鬆自如。今次，筆者為你準備了詢價常用的例句和範文，讓你能更輕鬆的學會如何寫一封有效而且得體的詢價電郵。本文出現的例句極為實用，定能讓你在職場上工作得更加得心應手。

 

一、Subject line：

 

● Inquiry about ___（產品/型號名稱）___

● Request for Quotation concerning the ___（e.g. XXX Project）___

 

二、電郵上款：

 

　　要發送商業的電子郵件，語氣必須正規且禮貌。 如果你知道收件人的名字的話，上款可以這樣寫：

 

● Dear Mr. or Mrs. ______,

        但是，如果你是第一次向對方索取報價，就毋須為找出收件人姓名而大費周章。 這時，上款可以這樣寫：

 

● Dear Sir/Madam,

● To whom it may concern:

 

三、電郵正文：

          請求報價時，你需要以清晰、準確的方式告知對方你需要訂購的產品內容及數量，以便對方更準確地報價。

 

***注意：電郵內容記得保持清晰而簡潔***

 

 以下是一些例句：

 

● On behalf of xxx Company, I write to request a quote for________.

我代表xxx公司寫信要求_____的報價。

 

● I would be interested to know the price of ________.

請問可否為我提供______的報價？

 

● I would be grateful if you could send me a quote for the following models: 

如果你能給我以下型號的報價，我將不勝感激。

 

四、結尾敬語

 

較正式（formal）的：

 

較常見於英式英文：

• Yours faithfully, （當上款是Dear Sir/ Madam,時）

• Yours sincerely, （當上款使用姓氏時，e.g., Dear Ms Chan,）

 

較常見於美式英文：

• Sincerely Yours,

• Sincerely,

• Yours Truly,

 

較非正式（informal）的：

 

• Thanks,

• Take care,
