5. Факсы, телеграммы. Принятые сокращения

Современные средства сообщения, такие, как факс, телекс или даже давно известная телеграмма считаются быстрыми не только потому, что они доходят по адресата быстро, но также и потому, что требуют быстрого ответа. Для этих средств коммуникации существует даже свой особенный язык, позволяющий сделать общение не только быстрым, но и эффективным.

Факсы, по сути дела, являются просто быстрыми письмами, поэтому к ним применимы все требования, предъявляемые к письмам. Более того, в некоторых случаях факсовое сообщение подтверждается отправкой оригинала с обычной почтой.

Факсы бывают двух видов: очень короткие сообщения, требующие срочного ответа, и более длинные. В первом случае сообщение пишется на стандартном бланке передачи факса. Текст такого сообщения коротко-информативный. В случае, когда по факсу передается длинное сообщение, на стандартном бланке необходимо указывать, кому адресована информация, и сообщение о содержании приложенного документа (контракта, заказа, копии счета, платежных документов и пр.)

Dear Mr Chan

It was a pleasure to meet you at the Lecture «Venture Capital» in the ETU Zurich on November 3.

Further to our brief conversation, I am very glad to present you two prospective technologies which I hope will be of interest for you.

Both works are beeing developed at the moment as a part of the Program at the leading research institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences under the leadership of the President of the Physical Research Society of Russia, Prof. Petrov. Based on my previous experience as a physicist, I can conclude that both projects are involved in the very latest developments in applied physics and technology. From a marketing point of view, one can conclude that investment in these porjects promisses to be extremely profitable.

I am sure I cannot give a full picture in one letter.

So, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

We are open to discuss all possible opportunities for investiong in this research.

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Dr. P. Korovin.

Dear Mr Corgniadot

Thank you for your letter and complete documentation concerning the «Super-Sonic Velocity Profile Monitor».

I’ve sent all information available to the Moscow Company «SALAT» who asked me about prices on behalf of their clients. They are not end-users and could work as distributors or dealers. Unfortunately I haven’t had a reply so far.

I’ve contacted Prof. Petrov who is the President of the Physical Research Society of Russia and Head of the Department in the Institute of Modern Physics in Moscow. He asked me to send all infomation about this device to decide how it could be applicable to research done in his Department.

I have applied to the High-Energy Physics Department of the Russian Academy of Sicences for the same purposes. Maybe this device will find customers here.

I believe this could be the first step entering the Russian market at the highest possible scientific level.

With my hope for success.

Sincerely yours,

Vera Pravina
