Needing help in writing an e-mail in japanese.

[DemiAngel]

Hi guys,

Iam ordering Arcade supplies from a japanese online store, And i send them 2 emails written in english but i got no respond for more than a week,

I REALLY need some serious help here, the email is short and won't need that much of translations.

Dear sirs,

I would like to ask about the availability of _______ at your store, And if you could sell me _______ with all necessary accessories and ship the goods to ________ ?


I also interested in knowing the cost + tax of all of the goods and the shipping costs, I'm also interested to know your favorite paying methods ( Bank T\T, Western Union or VISA ) ?
Thanks you and I'm looking forward to have business with your company.



Thanks in advance :)

well you could use a eng to jap translation service by either using http://babelfish.altavista.com/ or google translator (it's the same thing believe me!) You might want to type it in very simple english and have it translated to Japanese. Next copy the text that is in Japanese and (perfably on a new window on the same web page) translate it back to english. Now does that make any sense to you?? If not more likely neither do they! So it's a 4 step process to get it remotly readable for them. I do this to post up some bugs and idea's on sega's web page in Jap on PSU beta testing report and sometimes it takes me an hour to get it right, so far no one complained so they must understood me then.
