SampleAnalysisComplimentaryCloseRe-expressingtheappreciationSignatureAsample尊敬的某某公司的各位領(lǐng)導(dǎo)：你們好！感謝貴公司對我們的信任，指定我們?yōu)镈Q20這一項目的供應(yīng)商之一。為此，我們保證在今年的第20周之前提供樣件，不會耽誤貴公司的整體規(guī)劃。再次感謝你們對我公司的信任，希望我們今后合作的愉快。順祝商琪！某某有限公司2008年3月28日順祝商祺

祺有吉祥之意。對商人（也指生意人、做買賣的人等）的祝愿一類的意思（但一般不是祝賀）。類似的，還有如“敬頌師祺”等.“順祝商祺”就是在信件終了時，順便祝愿你經(jīng)商的時候吉祥如意。對文人，作家可用“文祺”；對教師用“教祺”，一般人可用“時祺”，就是時下吉祥。寫信時，前面兩字也可變化，如“即頌”之類。
