要求书信的"完整"， 理由有三： 1．一封完整的书信比一封不完整的书信，有更大的可能性带来预期的效果； 2．一封完整的书信，有助于建立和表达友善关系； 3．一封完整的书信，可以避免由于遗漏重要情况（情报）所导致的诉讼（Lawsuit）； 4．有时，某些不显眼的书信或文件，由于所提供的情况完整而又生动有力（Complete and Effective）而成为极为重要的文件。 一封信写得是否完整，建议用五个"W"来检验，既： "Who, What, Where, When 及Why(包括How)" 例如在定货的信中，必须明确说明 "需要什么商品"(What you want) "何时需要" (When you need the goods) "货物发到何地何人收"(to Whom and Where the goods to be sent) "如何付款"(How payment will be mande) 如对对方的要求作出否定的答复时（如不能报盘，不能理赔等）应说明理由"为什么 "(Why) 再给你些实例： 寻求建立商贸关系信函 Dear Sirs， A few days ago we had the opportunity to see a display If your products at the Chengdu International

刚回复了同一个问题，为了避免重复，我简单说下，具体的可以去看我的文章。
今天分享的是开发信的写作技巧。说说几个重要的原则：
1.首先，重要的事情说三遍：
找准目标客户再写！找准目标客户再写！找准目标客户再写！
因为，如果这个客户不做你的产品，或者规模太小只在当地采购，或者只是完全是另一个行业的，那么你一天发出去200封开发信，也全部是无效的。目标客户正确了，开发信给对了人，即使你只发一封邮件，这一封的有效率是100%。
2，一定要发对人。也就是说，确定这个公司是目标客户后，那就要开始找对人。我们都知道国外客户不喜欢留下采购部的****，就是怕大家打扰他啊！但是我们不打扰他，怎么能把产品推销给他呢？所以还是要想方设法地烦扰他啊！如果你发的邮箱对应的是叉车司机、财务主任、生产工人。。。你想，他看到邮件会不会直接无视呢？情况好的，会帮你转发，或者告诉你他不负责；但是，99%以上的人，会无视或者删除，哪怕你让他给你负责人****，他也不敢，也不想啊。所以，你要自己找。具体方法先不说，以后再详谈，因为方法太多了。
3，标题不要写敏感词汇。举个例子，做LED灯的，采购经理真的每天收到几十封上百封邮件，而且”LED”标题的太多了，看到你是陌生人，很多会选择“未读删除”。建议直接列举出来优势，比如你们产品的独家优势是xxx，那就直接在标题里面写出来。
4，要有针对性。也就是说，千篇一律的模板不适合所有客户，尤其一些特殊客户，比如你的竞争对手的客户。举个例子：我通过海关数据发现竞争对手的客户，这封开发信的重点就是：直接表明我们的产品不存在xx问题，这个问题当然就是你的竞争对手的问题。
5，连贯性。意思是，不要一遍一遍、一轮一轮地发同一封开发信，发几次就被拉黑了。
6，最基本的：字体不要花里胡哨、格式不要乱七八糟、签名不要五颜六色、链接不要到处都是、附件不要太大、内容不要太冗杂。这些是基本的注意事项，学好了再进行下一步。
暂时想到的是这些，后期想到的会再更新。
