We have arranged for the surveyor to inspect these goods in November (or do you mean, on 7th November).
After that: your paragraph sounds like it is part of a formal letter to a client or customer, so that "after that" is slightly too informal. You could say, "Following this inspection, they will submit a certificate to us which will certify that these goods can be returned to China. This certificate will be sent/forwarded ("forwarded" is more in keeping with the formal tone of the letter) to you as soon as possible. The charge for this is USD240, which we will deduct (which will be deducted) from your next payment.
(By using the passive tense -will be deducted - you are making it more formal, which is more in keeping with a business letter, less personal, as it avoids using the personal pronoun "we".)

Please advise when you will be able to collect the goods ("pick up" is too informal, too casual for a business letter)
for return to your factory for ...
reworking: I am unsure whether this is the best word, as I don't know what the actual goods are, or what is apparently wrong with them. Possible alternatives are,
for modification, for repair, for alteration.
Hope this helps.

Re: How would you comment this letter?

I'm very glad that you've assured me the right way to write a good business letter. I've been struggling with this point since I left Uni. In Uni, my lecturer always encouraged the students to use modern-style approach in business letter writing, that are - direct, simple, consice and clear, which is exactly what you proposed. But when I actually practiced that on my first job, I was critised so badly by my superior for having bad sense in writing formal letter. Here are some of the examples I could still remember she had corrected on my letter,

"Apend herewith is the...." instead of " I have attached a......",

"Kindly contact the undersigned ....." instead of " Please give me a call...."

"We offer our humblest apologies for the unnecessary inconvenience that you have been casued in this instance." instead of "Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience caused."

And I remember she told me this, "To make your recepient look up the dictionary is better than they read and think the writer is a high school dropout."

I was unable to figure what she meant then. But that wasn't important to me anymore, I quitted the job after 2 months

A Good Business Letter...?

Heimdall — Wed, 05 Jul 2006 08:51:03 GMT

I am college freshman writing a business letter for my dad's business oversea. I'm doing so because no one at his place speaks/writers acceptable English. So, I am drafted to write a letter (not e-mail) for him to a big company requesting for partnership. The my dad's marketing manager sketched me general idea that started as a 130 word e-mail.

Talk about responsibility. Even though I plan to be an English major (not business major, and Iâm ESL to a certain extent), I have no idea whether I'm doing this right. I've written cover letters for college applications before, but that's a completely different business, no pun intended.

Anyways, I looked through Wikipedia for info on business letters, but I still have a few more questions. I can't broad cast the content of this letter, so I will try to summarize the tricky parts as best as I could.

1. I am supposed to be writing as a marketing manager to this big company and offering them assistance in several events they will be hosting. Does the heading "Offer of Assistance for Future *** Events" sounds stupid?

2. My letterhead contains our companyâs name and address. Can I put phone, fax, e-mail, and homepage in the letterhead too? If not, where should I put it? (Technically theyâre on the envelope, too. I just want to be sure.)

3. I begin the letter with "I am ***, the International Marketing Manager for *** Information Corporation^Â®." Is that what people do? Or do they start with something else?

4. The general outline of the letter is as follows:

-letterhead

-Date

-Dear Sir or Madam

-Header ("Offer of Assistance for Future *** Events")

-Content (starting with "I am ***, the International Marketingâ¦â¦")

#we would like to help your event in such and such a way

#detail of our plan

#detail of product (includes instruction of getting free trial on-line, which I have an url typed)

#detail/history of company

#ending (includes personal contact info.)

-Sincerely

*** (Signature by hand)

-International Marketing Manager

*** Company

The letter now totals about 3000 words, a little bit more than a page if single-spaced. Anything missing or out of order or whatnot?

5. I wanted to leave an instruction for the receiver if they are interested, so in the penultimate line I said "If our proposal is acceptable, please contact me through e-mail at Icantwritebusinessletter@english.com" The reason why I want them to use e-mail is because the real marketing manager who I am writing as couldn't really speak English, even though he/she reads English pretty well. What is the proper way of leaving personal contact information? I do have a letter head that contains the contact address of the company, but I feel I need to have personal info (e-mail, phone, fax, etc) as well. Where do I put it? After the signature? In what order?

6. What is the etiquette for leaving url and e-mail in an formal letter?

7. I ended the letter with "On behalf of my company, I invite you into this partnership." I think it sounds funny, but I don't know what to do.

8. What do I put after the signature? The example letters Wikipedia had are somewhat conflictingâ¦

9. We have formal envelope for our company, but do I print (as with a printer) the name and address of the receiver, or do I write it with hand with a pen?

10. How do I use the small circled trademark ^Â®? I have it on the righthand corner after every mention of our company's and product's name, though I donât know if thatâs proper. Moreover, if I have ââsâ after the names, should I put the R before or after the apostrophe?

11. One problem we have now is that our company does not have formal letter paper, so I have to set it up myself. Are there anything I should be aware of? Do I need to treat the letter with procedures (such as rubber stamps) or use a particular kind of paper?

12. Anything you think I would do wrong and didnât notice?

I know this is a huge question, but any help will be appreciated, even if you could just point me in the right direction!

Thank you!!

Re: Formal Letter - author codes, and the use of "Con't"...

There is no hard and fast rule, but the most common practice is to put the author's initials in capitals and the typist's initials in lower case. Here is an example:

LC/vb

When there are more pages than one in a letter it is normal practice to put nothing at the end of the first page. Since there is no closure or signature it is obvious that there is another page. At the top of the second page, however, you have a choice. One method is to put in brackets, (To John Doe, continued). It is better not to abreviate. Put "continued" in full, rather than "cont." But let me repeat, again there is no hard and fast rule.

A good guide to American style business letters is "Merriam Webster's Guide to Business Correspondence." It comes with a disk with sample letters too. It is published by Merriam-Webster Inc.
