样品Sample
以下这封书信是一个老客户以轻松平易的语气，向厂商谈交易条件。

英文正文

Thank you for your last delivery. You'll be pleased that the units you sent are selling well, and that the quality of the units match the buyer's sample we sent you.

Many of our customers have been asking about your new product, the Mini-Motor. We would like to test the market for them.

Would it be possible for me to have six units, sale on approval, before placing a firm order? This is because we feel we can't place a sale as seen order, since we don't know anything about the product. We ask that the samples, and the later orders we may place, be sale or return.

句型总结

●　你会对…感到高兴
1. You will be pleased that...
2. I am sure you will be happy to hear that...
3. I am happy to inform you that...

"pleased"，‘欣喜、满足的’，与"happy"或"satisfied"同义。"that"之后衔接子句，说明值得高兴的事。这句型在商场上多用于通知好消息时。此句主词以"You"开头，表示自己很肯定对方一定会高兴，是熟朋友间的用法。
