We hope they will reach you in due course and will help you in making your selection .Wish we will promote business as well as friendship!Best wishes !Aaron 回复B：先写邮件问清情况。本人觉得先写邮件问清情况，简单的询问，如HAVE YOU RECEIVED MY P/I, IS THERE ANY QUESTION OR PROBLEM WITH YOU?再问何时开L/C 或汇订金过来.如客户没回复，那你应该(很有必要)打个电话过去问清情况。是价格问题还是临时发生改变?客户是中间商，还在等最终客户的确认？还是其它问题？然后根据情况做一些措施看能否挽回这一张订单。Dear Sir,Good morning! Hope you have got a wonderful weekend!For several days no news from you, my friend. Now I am writing for reminding you about our offer for item of * dated * according to your relative inquiry.
