giá trị vấn đề kinh doanh, chẳng hạn giao dịch mua bán, mà chúng cịn có giá trị pháp lý Tính hiệu thư phụ thuộc nhiều vào kỹ viết thư người viết vì, để thể nội dung, với ngôn từ cách diễn đạt thông

chúng tơi chọn đề tài “Lịch thư yêu cầu hồi đáp yêu cầu giao dịch thương mại: đối chiếu tiếng Anh người Anh/ Mỹ tiếng Anh người Việt” cho cơng trình luận án Luận án chúng tơi sâu tìm hiểu chiến lược lịch sự, chủ yếu dựa theo lý thuyết lịch Brown & Levinson [67], phân tích so sánh việc sử dụng chiến lược lịch thư yêu cầu hồi đáp thư yêu cầu tiếng Anh người nói tiếng Anh ngữ (Anh/Mỹ) người Việt

tương đồng khác biệt việc sử dụng chiến lược lịch hai nhóm người viết hai loại thư này, đồng thời tìm cách luận giải điểm tương đồng khác biệt Nhiệm vụ nghiên cứu Để đạt mục đích trên, luận án tập trung giải nhiệm vụ sau: a Thống kê, phân tích phần bước kết cấu thư yêu cầu từ chối tiếng Anh người Anh/ Mỹ người Việt viết, miêu tả chiến lược lịch người ngữ người Việt sử dụng phần bước hai loại

I have attached the contract, but I have the feeling that we will have some questions about it If you need to reach me you can call me on my cell phone at I hope everything goes well with Camdon and that you have a great weekend I will see you next week Thanks Jason Bates TcA32 Dear Mr Sanders, I would like to thank you personally for extending me the opportunity to work with your company It was a great honor to receive an offer from a company such as yours After much consideration, however, I have decided that I cannot accept your offer at this time, as I have found another position that better fits my own career path and skills Because of your company’s excellent vision, it is difficult to turn down this position I'm sure that you will find the right person for this position, and someone who will prove to be an even greater asset to your company I'm grateful that I was able to meet with you to talk about the position at Stardon Inc and was very impressed by your company’s outlook and goals Best of luck to you and your future pursuits Sincerely Joseph Smith TcA33 Ms Parker, We would like to thank you for choosing us to book your tour of South Korea Temporary schedule is listed below and includes the hotel reservation We regret to inform you that because you only signed up passengers we cannot provide you a group discount rate Our policy is that a group requires a minimum of 10 people in order to qualify for the 15% discount on airfare Your payment options are credit cards, money order or direct online transfer Thanks and best regards, Harold Klum TcA34 Did Ms Briscoe, Thank you for your letter of November 16 about you and your family's visit to our rink We are sorry to say we could not find your daughter's skates We know that those skates are not cheap Unfortunately, we have a policy that states we are not responsible for lost or stolen articles during your visit to our club You can find it in the fine print in our club contract and located throughout the rink; including the changing and snack areas If you would like to stop by and check the contract you signed, we are more than willing to let you take a look Nevertheless, we know you and your family have been faithful members of our club for over 10 years, and we hope that this incident will not ruin a long-lasting relationship To try and smooth over this, we would like to offer you free skate sharpening for a year for your whole family and a coupon for family fun meal We have included the coupon for the meal in the envelope To get your skates sharpened, just drop by the proshop and mention your name Sincerely Harry Burn TcA35 Dear Mr Pham, We regret that we are not able to offer you admission to the MBA program As you probably know, we look at each application a whole Admissions decisions are based on a composite of information including your previous academic performance, comments from referees, relevant professional activities, proposed research statements, and GRE scores Your application file was considered in detail by me and by the faculty members in your area of interest The 234 number of applications we received far exceeded the number of students we are able to accept, and so we had to make very difficult admissions decisions Each application is considered in relation to other applications in the same area and only the very top applicants are admitted Your application, considered as a whole, was not as strong as some of the others we received Although I must regretfully send you an unfavorable response to your application, I appreciate your interest in our program and I certainly wish you the best for your future work Yours truly, Glenn Moore Graduate Advisor TcA36 Dear Ms Claudia, Thank you for applying for a short term loan in our branch Unfortunately, after careful review of your application, we must decline your request We have concluded that your current financial situation precludes this institution from extending further credit to you at this time When your financial picture changes and your current level of risk exposure become slower, we will be happy to reconsider your application On behalf of Citibank, I thank you for your ongoing business and trust that we will continue to serve you in the future If you have any questions about the details of your loan application review, please feel free to contact me at or email me at… Yours sincerely TcA37 Dear Mr Johnson, Your letter requesting that we bill you quarterly rather than monthly, presents us with somewhat of a problem As much we would like to welcome you as a new customer of our firm, we would like to accommodate you in any way possible Your request, however, would result in your receiving preferential treatment on your account and would be unfair to all of our customers who must settle their accounts within 30 days If we were to offer the terms you have requested to all of our customers, we would soon be out of business I am sure you can understand our position in this matter We would welcome your account on our regular open account basis and hope that we will have the opportunity to provide you with our fine line of products as well as service Sincerely, TcA38 Dear Peter Liam, Thank you for auditioning for Resonance We had many talented people at callbacks, and unfortunately we won’t be able to accept you into the group this term We really appreciate your interest in our group and congratulate you once again for making it to callbacks out of this year’s large audition pool Resonance encourages you to try out for us again next year or to explore other groups on campus, such as the concert choir and the chamber chorus Thanks again for your interest! Sincerely, Michelle Jordan President of Resonance TcA39 Dear Jasmine Heyden, Hope you are doing well Although the offer of tying up with Kaira Business Solutions for business branding and promotions was good but unfortunately, at the moment our business is not in need of any such service provider Currently we are already associated with one of the business branding and promotions company which is helping us in making a name in the industry Therefore, we cannot take up the business proposal that you had sent to Vistashares Inc due to the contract made with them I am sorry that we are not in a state to disclose the name of the company due to the contract made with them For future we can consider your company as an ally to Vistashares Inc if you agree to offer some unique 235 promotional services at a price which is reasonably competitive I advise you approach us back in November with a good quality package especially designed for us In the meanwhile, I suggest that you talk to our head of marketing department and understand what exactly we are looking for when we say that we want to ally with a branding an promotions partner Hope to see your revised proposal sometime by the end of the year Wishing you all the best for your future Thanks and Regards, Kevin Matthews Marketing Country Head Vistashares Inc TcA40 Dear Ms Jennifer Ricardo, I am absolutely honored to receive an invitation to become a member of your prestigious Association I am greatly thankful to you and the other members to give me such an honorable offer I understand that being part of your association would require me to put in my quality time and effort which I am quite willing to However, I am already committed to various projects for more than a year and hence, I will not be able to work as a member of the association Therefore, I kindly request you to look for another person who is worthy to be a member of your esteemed association Best wishes for the future Best Regards, Isabella Courtier TcA41 Dear Mr Joshua Mason, Thank you for offering an interesting proposal for the servicing and overhauling of machinery in Acetek Company's new manufacturing facility Our vendor management team has reviewed your proposal carefully to ensure that it meets our requirements However, we regret to inform you that we will be unable to take it ahead, because of our company's stringent vendor and cost policies We already have a pool of vendors who are offering us similar services at costeffective rates We hope that we will be able to work together in the future We once again thank you for investing your time and interest in Acetek Company Sincerely, Paul Ford TcA42 Dear Mr Will Taylor, We thank you for your application requesting an extension of your credit for the payment of $100,000 against 20,000 spare parts supplied in November, 2012 for a duration of three months We regret to inform you that under the current situation of the economy, we will not be able to give you any further credit As you know, we have already offered you flexible payment terms of 60 days, post the date of delivery However, owing to the market downturn, we have revised all our credit policies and have resorted to work on "immediate payment" basis, as we are also obligated to pay our dues on time We, at Contad Company, value your long-term support and acknowledge that you have always adhered to our payment terms without defaulting As soon as the economy shows an upward trend, we will resume our credit policies as earlier We sincerely hope that you will consider our situation, and continue to share a strong business relationship Sincerely, Marie Jacob Sales Manager TcA43 Dear Ms Jean Cook, We thank you for giving us an opportunity to read the manuscript of "A major minor problem" However, we regret to inform you that our editors have gone through the book and decided that we will not be publishing the book 236 While we loved the plot of the story, we not find the characters interesting enough to captivate the imagination of the readers We wish you all the best in your search for a publisher Best Regards, Jack Howard Publishing Department Middle-max Publishers TcA44 Dear Leo Rogers, Recently, I received your fundraising letter describing the financial support required to realize the upcoming programs and services of Alza Food As you know, I admire and feel connected to the purpose and mission of your organization, and I am amazed by the effects of the services you provide During past fundraising drives, I was able to express my admiration and support of your endeavors with a monetary donation However, at this time, I regret to say that I am unable to contribute funds to your cause, but please not view this inability as an expression of my wavering support I continue to value highly the work that Alza Food does, and I hope to be able to express my admiration and support of your organization again in the future Best regards, TcA45 Dear Ms Lea Roberts, I can imagine how disappointed you must have been to discover that the backpack you bought from Doe Camping Supply was too small to hold your gear for an extended trip While I sympathize with your plight, you did buy the backpack during our two-day Thanksgiving Blowout Sale Signs posted during the sale said that we could offer no refunds or exchanges This is the only way that Doe's can continue to bring you such low prices on our blowout sales Having to process returns and exchanges would greatly increase the price of the gear I am enclosing a $5.00 gift certificate you can redeem at any Doe Camping Supply store It is good on all merchandise, including sale items We value your patronage here at Doe's and hope you will continue to consult us for all your outdoor supplies Thanks and best regards, Julia Scotts TcA46 Dear Kate Carter, Thank you for inviting us to sponsor the Springfield Gala We agree that this is a very good cause, but unfortunately we will not be able to help this year With the downturn in the economy, our company, like so many others, has had to rationalize our corporate giving, and we have already reached our limits for this fiscal year If you will contact us before the end of February of next year, we will be in a better position to consider your application We wish you every success in this year's Springfield Gala Sincerely, Elizabeth Thompson TcA47 Dear Mr Carter, I would like to cancel the appointment I made to see you on January 29, at 9:00 a.m When I made the appointment, I thought I would have all of the necessary information collected so we could discuss a change of zoning in my residential neighborhood, but gathering the information has been more difficult than I had anticipated It will probably take three more months before I am ready to discuss this proposition I am working with a group of concerned neighbors, and as soon as we are ready, one of us will call to set up a 237 new appointment Thanks for your understanding Best regards, John Turner TcA48 Dear Rosy Jones, We compliment your work to provide a summer camp for young cancer patients This is indeed a worthy cause Rather than donating to individual charities, however, our employees donate through payroll donations to the United Way We suggest that you apply to that organization for additional funding Although we can't commit to monetary support at this time, when you are ready for volunteer labor, a number of Doe employees are willing to help We wish you much success in this worthy cause Sincerely, Palm Smith TcA49 Dear Mr Jackson, My sincere thanks for the thoughtful invitation to speak at your banquet next month I am sorry that my travel plans will take me away during that week, so I won't be able to be part of the program; otherwise, I would be pleased to accept your invitation If you not have another person in mind, you might consider inviting John Doe, who recently returned from an assignment in China I think you would find his insights very interesting In any case, I wish you a very successful evening Thank you for thinking of me Best regards, Jack Cooper TcA50 Dear Mr Hopes, Thank you for your recent order of the Business and

call me and I’ll probably introduce someone suitable for you Sincerely, TcV20 Dear David Hallow, After considering your offer, I have to say that I cannot give you a substantial discount on these

to discuss this further Sincerely, TcV21 Dear Mr Lee Anderson, I am glad that you select our company as your partner However, there are some points in your request I think I need to clarify with you

for us to deliver For these mentioned reasons, I am afraid we cannot approve and confirm your request However, if you can change some details, we are willing to look at it again Hope that we can have other chances to cooperate in the future Once again we are sorry for this 242 inconvenience Thank you for your support and faith Sincerely, TcV22 Dear Mr Minh, First of all, thank you for your
