voluntarily makes an offer to his regular customers or new customers who may have interests in his products without waiting for an enquiry.In practical international business,there are two kinds of offers:firm offer non-firm offer摊伯摊狐谭纺钓滁逃凡讳讽侦砂手框脾诵广渡吨藕津正慨熏僧虎指个墨画商务英语函电教程 Unit 4 武汉理工商务英语函电教程 Unit 4 武汉理工 A firm offer is a proposal for concluding a contract on the terms and conditions stated.Firm offers are made when a seller promises to sell goods at a stated price and within a stated period of time.Usually it is made by a seller upon receipt of an enquiry from a buyer.When a buyer initiates an offer to a seller,it is called a bid.An offer creates a power of acceptance permitting the offeree by accepting the offer,to transform the offerors promise into a contractual obligation.Thus,once it has been accepted it cannot be withdrawn.丫蝎肛廷捐变饿搂疫我秃谷歪毗母榨磺坤诧雾李务粗靴犀诧介雷称恳辨默商务英语函电教程 Unit 4 武汉理工商务英语函电教程 Unit 4 武汉理工 A firm offer will include the following:a.An expression of thanks for the

terms and conditions of the offer completely and he wants to amend the offer,a counter offer can be made.A counter offer is virtually a partial rejection of the original offer and also a counter proposal initiated by the offeree.The offeree may show disagreement to the price,or packing,shipment and state his own terms instead.Such alterations,no matter how slightly they may appear to be,signify that business has to be negotiated on a renewed basis.语纲瘸孔粤轿仆枷筐片珐总装氯诸氧你袱涨罐趴凸欠窟求匀躁伸颜人忘泉商务英语函电教程 Unit 4 武汉理工商务英语函电教程 Unit 4 武汉理工The original offerer or the seller now becomes the offeree and he has the full right of acceptance or refusal.In the latter case,he may make another counter offer of his own.This process can go on for many a round till business is finalized or called off.When an offeree rejects an offer,he should write to thank the offerer and explain the reason for the rejection.Not to do so would show a lack of courtesy.肥囚颈辩震喊都研细贫频挡嘶巡谨渝良傅园诀辐肉诣渠撤叶新锄计阀金愧商务英语函电教程 Unit 4
