外贸函电是大家打造对外贸易关系和外贸往来的要紧方法。大家将依次给大伙介绍一些外贸函电格式样板，供大伙参考。
8、与过去有贸易往来的公司联系
We understand from our trade contacts that your company has reestablished itself in Beirut and is once again trading successfully in your region. We would like to extend our congratulations and offer our very best wishes for your continued success. Before the war in Lebanon, our companies were involved in a large volume of trade in our textiles. We see from our records that you were among our ten best customers. We very much hope that we can resume our mutually beneficial relationship now that peace has returned to Lebanon. Since we last traded, our lines have changed beyond recognition. Please examine the detailed1 current European taste in fabrics2, some of our designs are specifically targeted at the Middle Eastern market. As an initial step, I enclose our illustrated3 catalogue for your perusal4. Should you wish to receive samples for closer inspection5, we will be very happy to forward them. We look forward to hearing from you.
从同行中获悉贵公司在贝鲁特复业，买卖飞速发展。得闻喜讯，不胜欢欣。谨祝业务蒸蒸日上。黎巴嫩战事发生前双方曾有多宗纺织品买卖；贵公司更是本公司十大顾客之一。如今战事平息，亟盼能重展双方互惠的业务联系。自上次合作至令，商品款式变化很大。除去有迎合欧洲人口味的款式外，亦有专门为中东市场设计的商品。现奉上配有插图的产品目录供初步参考。如需查询样本，还望赐知。
