询问信 Letter of Inquiry
询问信的主要目的是寻求所需信息,通常包括以下几个方面的内容:首先表明写作意图,说明写这封信的目的是要寻求什么样的信息;然后就某一具体问题进行询问;最后表明获取信息的急切心情,可以提供联系方式以便收信人与你联系,并表达你的感谢之情。
写作“三步走”:
自我介绍、说明目的—>具体询问事宜—>表示感谢、期盼回复
Tips:
询问信的语气通常比较正式、和缓,要充分表达感激之情。同时,相比较语气直接的疑问句,用一些能够起到提问作用的陈述句更佳。

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to ask for information about your agency’s Hong Kong travel pachages for the May holiday. My family and I plan to travel there from May 1st to 7th, in which period we would like to visit most of the scenic spots and shopping centers. A DIY program would be preferable. It would be greatly appreciated if you could provide us with yoru travel packages and their corresponding price per person, covering both hotel and a return ticket.
I would be grateful to receive a prompt reply as the holiday is approaching.
Yours cordially,
Li Ming
