Thanks & best regards Mustafa Mahmoud Purchase Assistant 客户把自己的公司说的很正规，因为我还是个外贸新手，事有点糊涂，过老板的意见之后，他说科威特的客户不好弄，而且这个邮件写得很像骗子的伎俩。我想想还是听老板的，只是了一个试探的回复。 Dear Mr Mustafa Mahmoud, Thank you for your inquiry dated Sep.27th.2010.

我觉得这个回复比较婉转，既表达了担心伪装的问题，又表示了愿意配合的态度，同时也不失礼貌。客户当天回复了邮件，看得出来他们很着急，因为他们有明确的购买意向。

Dear XXX,

Thanks for your prompt mail.

Yes, our request was valid and serious.

I will check the technical details on my side and revert back to you soon; in the meanwhile please could you send us your most competitive c/f price to Kuwait airport and the payment terms.

Expecting your earliest response.

Best regards,

Mustafa

到此，似乎一切都在正轨上了。我很高兴客户回复了我，并且非常愿意与他们进一步合作。看来我的质疑是过度了。

于是我回复：

还是相当简明扼要的回复，只是包含了足够的细节，方便客户核实和考虑。接下来就是一周的沉默期。

10月11日，客户又回复邮件了：
