Уважаемые!!!

[Orhid]

Товарищи!пожалуйста посоветуйте, как лучше письмо написать одному доктору из США. Я сама попробовала, вот что получилось:
Dear Dr XXX,
I am an attending physician in Genetic Clinic at Research Institute of Medical Genetics, Tomsk Research Centre, Siberian Division, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Tomsk. I am interested in inherited skin disorders. I`ll be grateful if you could arrange to forward me a copy of your publication entitled “The Epidermal Nevus Syndromes: Multisystem Disorders”, which appeared in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology in June 2004, vol. 50, issue 6, pages 957-961.
Sincerely yours,
XXX
Так вообще пишут?

Я думаю, доктор поймет,что от него требуется, но может быть, стоит начать с "Could you...", или чего-то подобного, а не с информации о себе?

Dr XXX,

Would you be so kind to send me/Could you... a copy of your article titled The Epidermal Nevus Syndromes: Multisystem Disorders (Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology in June 2004, vol. 50, issue 6, pages 957-961).

I work for the Genetic Clinic at the Research Institute of Medical Genetics (Tomsk Research Centre, Siberian Division, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Tomsk) as an attending physician.

I would appreciate your assistance.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Truly yours,

XXX

Ура! Спасибо огромное! Всего вам доброго, здоровья!

нормально
сначала человек представляется, а потом просит от адресата что-нибудь
в противном случае письмо идет в корзину недочитанными

ну на западе у них там так.
не Россия чай.. :0)

TRY THIS:

I WOULD BE VERY grateful if you could forward me a copy of your publication entitled “The Epidermal NevOus Syndromes: Multisystem Disorders”, which appeared in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (June 2004, vol. 50, issue 6, pages 957-961).

um, dont get confused (a co-worker once did) -- the things i wrote in CAPITAL LETTERS are corrections but should not remain in capital letters. :) ever since my co-worker got confused i worry about using this method of correction.

Просьба выслать копию - обыденное дело, в корзину такие письма отправлять не принято, поэтому с этой просьбы вполне разумно начать письмо. Вторая часть будет прочитана в этом случае с большим интересом.

поддерживаю изначальную структуру, предложенную автором и tumanov, вначале-короткое представление, а уж потом - просьба..

agree. it's good to introduce yourself first (as you would in person) and let the person know why you are coming to them and THEN ask for what you want. otherwise, you look like a nahal

[Bangladesh]

Nina79 - absolutely.. I like that nahal part.. and that's what "Dear Dr XXX" would inevitably think of an asker from eh.. Tomsk..
