Dear Sir or Madam,

As I am planning to take the National Entrance Test of English for MA/MS Candidates (NETEM) , I have decided to place an order of some NETEM books with due consideration of the good reputation of your bookstore and the high quality of your books.

Firstly, please give me particular accounts as regards names, authors, publishing houses and prices of these books. Secondly, I also need to know the terms of payment and after-sell service. Thirdly, I wonder if it is convenient for you to deliver these books by EMS to the headquarters of Beijing New Oriental School by September 1, 2008.

由於我計(jì)劃參加全國(guó)碩士研究生入學(xué)考試英語(yǔ)考試，充分考慮到貴書店的良好聲譽(yù)和書籍的優(yōu)良品質(zhì)，我決定訂購(gòu)一些考研英語(yǔ)書籍。

首先，請(qǐng)給我關(guān)於這些書的書名、作者、出版社、價(jià)格的詳細(xì)信息。其次，我也想知道付款方式和售后服務(wù)。第三，我想知道您是否方便把這些書通過特快郵政專遞在2008年9月1日前送到北京新東方學(xué)校總部。

非常感謝您好心考慮我的請(qǐng)求。期待著盡快得到您的答復(fù)。

您真誠(chéng)的，
