I’m wanting to write fairly informally - much as one might in English - to an Italian broker of NOS and overstock parts.
I need the article - especially as it’s a killer price and long out of production - but don’t want to sound like a Nigerian scammer. Basically to check the availability and (automatically) estimated shipping cost of an item, before throwing my money into cyberspace. Kind of like this: Hi,Is it these days acceptable/normal to initiate contact with “Salve” - or only when returning prior correspondence? If I want to be polite, do I say “please advise” or “advise, please”? As in, does the per favore come first or second? For the meat of my inquiry, Google offers: Quote:
Also, for signing off an initial enquiry, what’s the most “everyday” salutation? Advice received gratefully. |
