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***

● 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 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,
