句型总结
●　如果您不介意…
1. If you don't mind...
2. If it's acceptable to you...
3. If it is no trouble (to you)...

"mind"，‘介意’。这是句客套话，说完这句话之后就可以接着提出本身希望的条件或将要执行的动作。这个句型的用意是在礼貌性的询问对方是否同意你的提议。

短语解说
make an inquiry about 针对（产品）询价
"inquiry"‘查询、询问’，商用上为‘询价’之意。指买方在采购前，为了对商品有更进一步之了解，而向卖方查询货物价格及其它交易条件（如品质、数量、付款方式等）的行动。"inquiry"也可拼为"enquiry"。

full details of 全部（交易）细节
"detail"，‘详情、细节’；在商业上另指‘交易细节’，为特殊用法。‘交易细节’是指买卖双方进行交易时必备的一些数据，包括品质、数量、价格、付款方式、交货时间、保险购买等项目。因此"full details of.."有两种含意：一为‘有关…的全部详情’；二为‘…全部交易细节’。解释凭上下文而定。

further inquiries 进一步的询价
买方在询价之初，通常只要求卖方提供有关货物之一般性资料。经过评估比较后，若仍感兴趣则会提出‘进一步的询价’。此时之‘询价’已较具体，次数亦频繁，交易成功的可能性亦随之增加。"further"，‘进一步的’。
