隨心所至

8. 與過去有貿易往來的公司聯繫

We understand from our trade contacts that your company has reestablished itself in Beirut and is once again trading successfully in your region. We would like to extend our congratulations and offer our very best wishes for your continued success. Before the war in Lebanon, our companies were involved in a large volume of trade in our textiles. We see from our records that you were among our best tem customers. We very much hope that we can resume our mutually beneficial relationship now that peace has returned to Lebanon. Since we last traded, our lines have changed beyond recognition. While they reflect current European taste in fabrics, some of our designs are specifically targeted at the Middle Eastern market. As an initial step , I enclose our illustrated catalogue for your perusal. Should you wish to receive samples for closer inspection, we will be very happy to forward them. We look forward to hearing from you.

從同行中獲悉貴公司貝魯特複業，生意發展迅速。得聞喜訊，不勝歡欣。謹祝業務蒸蒸日上。 黎巴嫩戰事發生前雙方曾有多宗紡織品交易；貴公司更是本公司十大客戶之一。現今戰事平息，亟盼能重展雙方互惠的業務聯繫。 自上次合作至令，產品款式變化極大。除了有迎合歐洲人口味的款式這外，亦有專門為中東市場而設計的產品。現奉上配有插圖的商品目錄供 初步參考。職需查看樣本，還望賜知。
