LEAD-IN 1
Most letters of enquiry are short and simple, so much that many firms have adopted the practice of sending printed enquiry forms, thereby eliminating the need for a letter. An enquiry can be made by telephone, telex, fax, or postcard. As a prospective buyer, the writer of an enquiry states briefly and clearly what he is interested in, and this is all the receiver of the letter needs to know.
