The essential 7C’s in commercial English correspondence are clearness,conciseness,courtesy,consideration,completeness,concreteness,correctness.2. If a letter show impoliteness, it cannot achieve the purpose of writing. More serious consequences will be that it may offend the recipient and damage the established business relations. The courteous writer should be sincere and tactful, thoughtful and appreciative. Another important thing is promptness.3. If conciseness conflicts with courtesy, then make a little sacrifice of conciseness. Generally speaking, you will gain in clearness and conciseness by writing short sentences rather than long ones.4. A business letter consists of eleven principal parts:(1) the letter-head (including the date)(2) the inside name and address(3) the salutation(4) the subject heading or caption(5) the opening sentences(6) the body of letter(7) the closing sentences(8) the complimentary close(9) the wr iter’s signature and official position(10) the enclosure(11) the postscript5.

You may have received incomplete consignments. You may have written and not yet received a reply. You may have tried to call us and not been able to get through. We have ten Customer Service lines with staff to man them, but once these lines are overloaded there is nothing we can do. Our correspondence staff are working all hours to catch up.The real problem goes back a long way and relates to our growth from a small familyfirm into a sizable business. Our working procedures have basically not kept up with our expansion.Last year, our old computer was replaced with new hardware and software, which we were told would solve all our problems and could expand as our business expanded. Unfortunately, this was not the case and the speed of processing orders slowed down, even though our staff were working round the clock.We were just about to abandon the system and revert to our old procedures for processing orders when a new version of the software was supplied. This speeded up the system and we are now catching up with the backlog of orders. By the end of this month we will be completely up to date.I know you don’t want to hear about our problems. You want your orders to be delivered promptly and correctly. I promise you that in future you can rely on us to do this and to respond to your inquiries courteously and efficiently.I feel that we owe you an apology but actions speak louder than words. We have taken on more staff, acquired a new warehouse and invested heavily in computer systems, all to provide the service which you need and of which we can feel proud.To end on a positive note, our new catalogue is enclosed and I am sure you will agree that our new product range is even more attractive and better value than before. We are working hard to continue to improve our service and I hope we can count on your support in spite of our recent problems.Yours sincerely×××以上为陶老师所发,部分课后习题答案。
