I. Az zleti levl
1. AZ. ZLETI

Kzismert, hogy az zleti letben kommunikcis formk egyre sok-
rWbbekk, vlnak. Az zleti levl azonban nemhogy
cskkenne, hanem egyre nvekszik, br formai s stilisztikai szempontbl is fontos vl-
tozsokon esett t. A levlnek van meg az a kizrlagos adottsga, hogya stilris, tar-
talmi s formai elemek a clnak varilhatk benne, egyttal a levl doku-
mentum is, archivlhat anyag.
A vllalatoknak komoly gondot kell fordtaniuk arra, hogy levelezsk ne csak tartalmi-
lag legyen korrekt, de formjval, klalakjval is j benyomst keltsen, hiszen zleti
partnereik ez alapjn forminak vlemnyt rluk. A leveleket j angolsggal kell rni,
vilgos, tmr megfogalmazsban, udvarias stlusban. Kerlni kell a szksgtelen rsz-
leteket, ismtlseket, de felttlen tartalmaznia kell minden fontos informcit. Nemcsak
a szp formra s elrendezsre kell figyelni, de mg a levelezsre hasznlt papr
a nyomtats vagy gpels rskpe is fontos lehet.
Az zleti levl rszei:
1. A fejlc (Letterheads)
A cgek ltalban nyomtatott fejlcet hasznlnak, amely sok informcit ad a A
fejlc tartalmazza a cg nevt, cmt, emblmjt (logo), telefonszmait, tviratcmt,
telex- s telefaxszmt, postafikszmt, a cg VAT (Value Added Tax=hozzadott
rtktbbletad) referenciaszmt.
A cg neve al gyakran tevkenysgi krt s sok esetben az igazgatk nevt is.
A fejlc kzpre vagy jobb oldalra kerl.
A cg neve utn ll rvidtsek a trsasgi formra PI.: Az Ltd. a Limited (lim-
ited liability company) rvidtse, amely kb. megfelel a magyar kft.-nek (korltolt
trsasg), azt jelzi hogy az zletrszek tulajdonosai csak bevitt
erejig vllalnak zleti tevkenysgkrt. A PLC/plc a Public Limited
Company (magyarul rszvnytrsasg) rvidtse. Ebben a trsasgi formban a
cgek rszvnyei nyilvnosan eladhatk. Az Inc. (Incorporated) rvidts az USA-ban a
rszvnytrsasgi formra utal. Az & Co. rvidts azt jelzi, hogya cg kt vagy tbb
szemly zleti trsulsa (partnership). Ez a trsuls lehet korltolt vagy nem korltolt
Csaldi vllalkozs esetn gyakran hasznljuk az & Son, Sons, Bros
(Brothers) vagy ritkn Daughter/s/ kifejezst. Ha sem az Ltd. sem az & Co. kifejezs
nem jelenik meg a cg neve utn, akkor ez egyszemlyes vllalkozsra (sole trader)
utal. Ha a cget igazgatsg (Board of Directors) irnytja, az elnk (Chairman; az
6 Dvny gnes: Angolul az irodban
USA-ban President), az igazgatk (Directors) s az igazgat (Managing
Director, az USA-ban Chief Executive) nevt is meg szoktk adni.
Szintn a cg neve utn llnak a cmek (addresses). Itt a cg kzpontjnak s kln-
gazatainak (branches), irodinak cmt adjk meg.
Nhny levlpapron lthat a cgbejegyzs nyilvntartsi szma s a VAT (Value
Added Tax) szm is.
2. Hivatkozsok (References)
A levlpapron nyomtatva olvashatk a Your ref.:, illetve az Our ref.: kifejezsek.
Ide a levelek hivatkozsi szmt szoktk rni. A hivatkozsi kd szmokbl vagy
vagy ezek kombincijbl ll. A szmok a levelek sorrendjt, gyiratszmt s a
kibocst osztly szmt jelzik, a az s a gpr nevnek
ll.
A hivatkozsok a levlpapron jobb vagy bal oldalra kerlnek s kvetik vagy
a cimzst.
3. A keltezs (Date)
A dtum a hivatkozsokkal egytt szerepel. ltalban jobb oldalra kerl a hivatkozsok
al, vagy velk egy sorba. A dtum rvidtett formjnak hasznlata, amely Eurpban
igen elterjedt, kellemetlen flrertsekhez vezethet az angol levelezsben,
ugyanis Nagy-Britanniban a keltezst a nap megjellsvel kezdik, az amerikai
levelezsben viszont a hnap kerl a keltezs elejre. Teht a 11.08.93 Nagy-
Britanniban 1993. augusztus 11-t jell, az USA-ban 1993. november 8-t. Ez a fl-
rerts ha kirjuk a hnap teljes nevt, termszetesen mindig nagy
pl.: 11 August 1993. A napot sorszmnv utn nem tesszk ki a 'st, nd,
th' rvidtseket. Fontos megjegyezni, hogy az Eurpban szoksos gyakorlattal szem-
ben, nem teszik ki a vros nevt a dtum el.

NYELVE, STrLUSA
1. Az zleti levl hossza. m&gtervezse
Az zleti levl hosszt termszetesen befolysolja annak trgya, stlusa s
a hasznlt nyelvezet. Igen fontos azonban, hogy tartalmazza a legfontosabb inform-
cikat, amelyeket partnernkkel kzlni akarunk mghozz a logikai sorrend-
ben. Igen zavar lehet egy kapkodan sszelltott levl, ahol az egymst
bekezdsek nem logikus sorrendben kvetik egymst.
Levelnk megrsakor tegyk fel magunknak a krdst:
Mit akarunk elrni a levllel?
Mire szeretnnk vlaszt kapni?
Szerepel-e benne az sszes fontos problma?
Minden informci helyes-e?
Vilgos, sszefogott s udvarias-e a levl?
J benyomst kelt-e majd a cmzettben?
Klalakja, rskpe
Levelnk megtervezsekor vegyk figyelembe:
a) Az bekezds
A levl mondata igen fontos, mert ez hatrozza meg a levl hangnemt s az
olvas ekkor kapja az benyomst a levl rjrl s ltalban az
bekezdsben megksznjk partnernk levelt, bemutatjuk nmagunkat vagy
cgnket, kzljk levelnk trgyt s cljt.
b) A bekezdsek
Ez a levl legfontosabb tartalmi rsze. Mondanivalja levltpusonknt vltozik.
A tovbbi fejezetekben sok pldt fogunk ltni arra, hogy mi minden kerlhet a
bekezdsbe.
c) Az utols bekezds
Itt rviden sszefoglalhatjuk mg egyszer a levl legfontosabb pontjait,
megksznhetjk partnernk ha nem tettk ezt meg az bekez-
dsben, kifejezhetjk jkvnsgainkat s remnynket, hogy hamarosan vlaszt
kapunk levelnkre.
2. Az levl megtervezse, nyelve, stlusa
2. Az zleti levl strlusa s nyelvezete

A kereskedelmi levelezsben gyakran a rgimdi, daglyos stlus, amely ne-
hezti a megrtst s sokszor azt a benyomst kelti, klnsen a nem ol-
vasban, hogy egy ltala ismeretlen nyelven rdott a levl. Trekednnk kell teht az
vilgos fogalmazsra, amely azonban nem mehet az udvariassg rovsra.
Kerlnnk kell a hossz, sokszorosan sszetett mondatokat, mert ezek zavaross s
nehezen tehetik mondanivalnkat. Ne hasznljunk kznapi (argo) kife-
jezseket zleti levelezsnkben, mert ez igen rossz benyomst kelthet. Fogalmaz-
zunk gy, hogy ez ne legyen partnernk szmra, de ne legyen tlsgosan bizal-
maskod sem. Br az zleti levlben szeretnek semlegesen fogalmazni, azrt ne
hasznljunk tl sok szerkezetet.
Igen fontos a vilgos, fogalmazs, nehogy partnernk flrertsen minket.
Vigyzzunk arra, hogya levlben hasznlt rvidtsek mindkt fl szmra ugyanazt
jelentsk. Ilyen rvidtsek pldul a nemzetkzi megllapodsokban szablyozott
kifejezsek, pl.: f.o.b.(free on board), c.i.f.(cost, insurance and freight) stb. Nhny
nemzetkzi szervezet, pid.: EU (European Union) nevnek rvidtse
nyelveken mskppen hangzik (magyarul pl.:EU), ms szervezetek nevnek rvidtse
viszont minden nyelven ismert, pl.: NATO. Fontos, hogy soha ne hasznljunk olyan
rvidtst, amely nem
Sokszor a szmok hasznlata is lehet. Korbban emltettk adtumban
klnbsgeket az angol s amerikai zleti levelekben. Ms, szmokkal
kapcsolatos, klnbsgek is lehetnek. A brit s amerikai hasznlatban pontot tesznek
ott, ahol a legtbb eurpai orszgban hasznlnak. PI.: az angolok vagy
az amerikaiak 2.623-t rnak ott, ahol mi vagy a francik 2,623-at rnnk. Ez utbbit vi-
szont az angolok ktezer-hatszzhuszonhromnak olvasnk. Ezrt ajnlatos a sz-
mokat s szmmal is kirni.
Klnsen gondosan kell megadni a mreteket, slyokat, rakat s egyb specifik-
cit, hiszen ezek flrertse slyos problmkat okozhat.

Dear Sirs
We were impressed by the selection of shoes that were displayed on your
stand at Barcelona International Fair.
There is a steady demand in Great Britain for high-quality goods of this type.
Sales are high and a good price can be obtained for fashionable designs.
We are a large chain of retailers and are looking for firms who could supply
us with a wide range of high quality goods.
As we usually place large orders, we would expect a quantity discount in
addition to a 10% trade discount off net list prices, and our terms of payment
are normally 60-day bill of exchange, documents against acceptance.
If these conditions interest you, please send us your latest catalogue and
price-list. We hope to hear from you soon.
Yours faithfully

Our government has put an embargo on ali meat produce exports to South

with us for over a year.

would be uneconomical for us.

As you know, we have been trading with one another for the past two years
and our accounts have been cleared by letter of credit. However, at the begin-
ning of our association with you, you mentioned that once a business relation-
ship had been established our accounts would be settled by 60-day bill of
exchange, documents against acceptance. We think you have enough confid-

Please let us know if these terms are acceptable as we intend to place a sub-

course, reimburse the shipping costs) and we will replace them with the cor-
rect items or credit you with their value.
We apologise for the error and we can assure you that ali your future orders

We enclose account sales for the past month showing a balance of f1,800 in
your favour. If you draw on us for this amount at 60 days, we will accept the

We are very sorry for the fali in sales in the past two months, which is

No doubt you have plans to meet this strong competition which we will now
have to face ali over Europe. Our opinion is that if you wish to keep your hold
in this market, it will be necessary to make an all-round reduction in prices
and launeh an extensive advertising campaign.
We wish to continue to represent you and are fairly sure that the high reputa-

We look forward to your reply.
