BEC剑桥商务英语证书在中国被认可的主要以外资企业居多，特别是英联邦和欧盟成员国家的企业。BEC在外企及外籍人士中认可度还是很高的。BEC初级写作分为两部分，每部分都具有挑战性和趣味性：大家看到这些语言点的第一反应会是觉得它们之间毫无关联，有些意思甚至扯得太远，让它们同时出现看上去几乎是一种“不可能的任务”。这种把不可能变成可能的任务会带来新鲜感和挑战感，因为现在你们面对的是创造。建立在发挥想象的基础上，一切事物都可以以一定方式联系起来。你是不是开始跃跃欲试了?
商务信函
Dear Jacques,
Lightweight batteries
I am writing to you because we have been having a bit of trouble with one of our suppliers who makes the lightweight batteries we use to power our vehicles. I am pretty sure you don’t have a local distributor of your products in this country, which I am writing to you direct to see if you can help us out. I did try to call, but you weren’t available
We require 4,800 units and delivery must be completely by 15 January, 20. A full specification of our requirements is given on the attached sheet, together with our technical brochure.
I would appreciate it if you could quote us your best CIF price, giving a full specification of your product and shipping date. Of course our technical department would need nto have some samples of the batteries to test in our laboratories before we would place a firm order.
We usually deal with new suppliers on the basis of payment in our currency by confirmed irrevocable letter of credit.
Assuming the lab tests go well, and you can quote us a competitive price, we would certainly be able to place more substantial orders on a regular basis.
I will be out of the office for a couple of weeks from tomorrow. In the meantime, do get in touch with one of my assistants if you need any more information
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Give my regards to Jeanne and the kids
Best,
Fred A. North , Buying Manager
