外贸函电是我们建立对外贸易关系和外贸往来的重要手段。我们将依次给大家介绍一些外贸函电格式样板，供大家参考。

8、与过去有贸易往来的公司联系

We understand from our trade contacts that your company has reestablished itself in Beirut and is once again trading successfully in your region. We would like to extend our congratulations and offer our very best wishes for your continued success. Before the war in Lebanon, our companies were involved in a large volume of trade in our textiles. We see from our records that you were among our ten best customers. We very much hope that we can resume our mutually beneficial relationship now that peace has returned to Lebanon. Since we last traded, our lines have changed beyond recognition. Please examine the detailed¹ current European taste in fabrics², some of our designs are specifically targeted at the Middle Eastern market. As an initial step, I enclose our illustrated³ catalogue for your perusal⁴. Should you wish to receive samples for closer inspection⁵, we will be very happy to forward them. We look forward to hearing from you.

从同行中获悉贵公司在贝鲁特复业，生意发展迅速。得闻喜讯，不胜欢欣。谨祝业务蒸蒸日上。黎巴嫩战事发生前双方曾有多宗纺织品交易；贵公司更是本公司十大客户之一。现今战事平息，亟盼能重展双方互惠的业务联系。自上次合作至令，产品款式变化极大。除了有迎合欧洲人口味的款式外，亦有专门为中东市场设计的产品。现奉上配有插图的商品目录供初步参考。如需查看样本，还望赐知。

9、确认约会

As agreed, we will meet at our office in Bond Street at 9.30am on Monday 20 March. I have scheduled the whole day for the meeting. If for any reason you are unable to attend, please phone me so that we can make alternative arrangements. Please let me know if you would like our office to arrange hotel accommodation. I look forward with great pleasure to our meeting.
