                           ENQUIRES AND OFFERS

                                  1. ENQUIRES

    Business transactions usually start with enquiries.
    As a rule the prospective buyer gets the name and the address of the prospec-
tive seller either at an exhibition, from an advertisement in a newspaper, maga-
zine, and thanks to a television or radio commercial. All these channels of infor-
mation are very important.
     Enquiries can be sent by mail, by telex or by fax. Sometimes enquiries can be
made orally, by telephone.
    In the enquiry the prospective buyer states in what goods exactly he is inter-
ested and asks for details on the price and terms of sale.
