Concept:A letter of inquiry is a formal request sent by a buyer to a supplier to obtain details about the availability, prices, and terms of trade of goods before any purchase is made.
Explanation:The letter given was written by the manager of Oladosu Bookshop to Olu Stationery Ltd.
In the letter, the sender requests quotes for
200 fountain pens and
1000 exercise books.
The sender also asks for a statement of the terms of trade.
These requests show that the buyer only wants product information and price details.
No definite order or purchase is placed in this letter.
Therefore, the document is not a quotation, because a quotation is issued by the seller.
It is equally not a consignment note or an order form.
