商务英语写作:如何降低成本?

信例1

Subject:Production costs

Dear Adam,

According to our latest sales numbers, we are doing very well. We've seen our sales more than quadruple over the last 6 months alone.But even though these numbers should have us tickled pink, we still have a major problem on our hands.Because of material shortages worldwide, the cost of production has shot up over tenfold.So, instead of a healthy margin of proft, we are walking a fine line between proftability and non-profitability.Can you help me to brainstorm what some solutions to this problem may be?

Thanks!

Samuel

主题:生产成本

亲爱的亚当:

根据我们最新的销售数字,得知我们干得非常好。我们看到,在过去仅仅六个月的时间里,我们的销售额就增长了四倍多。这些数字本该令我们非常高兴,但我们仍面临一个重大难题。由于全球范围内材料资源短缺,我们的生产成本陡增了十多倍。所以,没有了良性的利润空间,我们就要谨慎处理盈利与否的问题。您能否帮我想想有什么办法可以解决这个问题?

谢谢!

Subject:FYI——Good news on the production front

Dear Loretta,

Just to keep you updated—I am very happy to report that our production manager has found a new source for raw materials and we will be able to decrease the cost of production by 15%. Initially we started looking for a new supplier because our previous supplier kept upping the price of materials on us, which resulted in a smaller margin of proft.While switching suppliers can require some adjustments or tweaking here and there, we are confdent this change can help to improve our bottom line.

Regards!

Ken

主题:供参考——来自生产前线的好消息

亲爱的洛蕾塔:

我只想告诉您一个消息——很高兴告诉您,我们的生产经理找到了新的原料供货商,这样我们的生产成本就能降低15%。起初我们着手寻找新的供货商,是因为我们以前的供货商一直提高原材料的价格,这导致我们的利润减少。虽然更换供货商会要求我们做些调整和适应,但我们相信这次改变能够帮助我们改善业绩。

致礼!
