Several days upon returning from Comdex, I received an email from someone from a computer hardware company (at least I think that's their biz). She just said it was a pleasure meeting me (I don't recall meeting any women at Comdex...I probably dropped of my business card hoping to win a prize or something), and she asked me to look at their Web site. That was it.
So I went to the Web site, and the whole freakin' thing is in Chinese. (Even when I first got her email, I wasn't taking anything seriously. My title on the card is "News Editor," and I was representing a Web site that reviews computer and other techie stuff.) So I wrote back asking if they had an English version, and some other dude gave me a link.
I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do after looking at the site. Did she want me to buy something as a consumer? Wholesaler? What?? So I just told her people I'd forward the URL to my colleague, who runs the site.
Being the good little worker she is, she followed up with " How are you doing? And any news or comments from your side,pls kindly notify me. thanks and best regards." I haven't responded because I'm not sure how to. If she paid attention to my card, she might think I can't do anything about her request. I already notified her that someone else is looking at her "request."
What I'd like to say is, "I'm fine, thanks, Nancy. What kind of news and comments would like you?" To this day, I don't know if she wants to sell me something or what.
What I'd also like to tell her is...
1. If you're going to do business correspondence, use correct English. 2. What were you thinking going to an American convention and then following up with a Chinese Web site? 3. Don't bug me anymore.
