【正确答案】Dear Sir(s),
I am a university student majoring in English. We are going to have a course about American culture next term. My professor recommended a book called Essential to the American Culture to us, which is said to have been published last month and is selling well. So I want to ask some information about it. Could you tell me the price of the book plus the postage and packing? What's more, I wonder if there is a discount if I make a group order of 30 for my class. Your reply will be appreciated. Thank you!
Yours Sincerely,
Li Ping

(ii) 不要加入太多与表达要点无关的表述。比如自我介绍,一两句带过即够。
(iii) 表述上注意多元化,不要太过生硬和随意。
