ヒッグス様、
本日はお忙しいところ、お時間をいただきありがとうございました。打ち合わせ通り、次のステップに移らせていただきます。
オウンドメディアのコンサルティング会社をお探し中とのことでしたが、実は、ルーキーズ株式会社という優良な企業に以前企業ブログの効果的な運営の仕方を教わりました。現在は業界を牽引する企業です。
もしご興味あれば、ルーキーズの営業担当に連絡するようお伝えしますが、いかがいたしましょう？
（「ルーキーズ株式会社」は架空のものです）

今後の仕事での英語メールの参考になれば幸いです。

Hi everyone, welcome to E-mail Picks. It's
Kyota here and I've just come back from
a meeting with a client. We were
discussing the results of our training
program and also what to do in the next
training term. But towards the end of the
meeting, our client mentioned that they
were thinking of starting a so-called
owned media. Owned media are things like a
company blog or a company radio station,
things like that, but they said that they
had no experience making any owned media
so they had no idea where to start. They
also said that they were looking for a
consulting firm or a vendor that could
help them get started with their owned
media. And then we ran out of time and
had to go. Now actually I know a very
good web marketing consulting firm, so I
thought I should refer them to our
clients. So, in my e-mail today, I need to
do two things: one, I need to
explain why I'm recommending this firm
to our client; and number two, I need to
ask our clients if they would like me to
take the next step, which is to give
their contact information to the
consulting firm. So let's see what that
e-mail will look like.
Hello Ms. Higgs, thank you for taking time
out of your day to meet with us. We will
proceed to the next step as we agreed
during the meeting. In regards to your
search for an owned media consultancy, I
happen to have worked with an excellent
firm called Rookie, Inc. They taught me how
to run a successful company blog a few
years ago and they are now one of the
leading companies in the industry. If you
are interested in seeing how they can
help your company, I can ask their
salesperson to contact you. Please let me
know what you think. Kyota. OK, so in my
first paragraph I'm doing a brief
follow-up on the meeting we just had. In
the second paragraph, as you can see I'm
saying many good things about the
consulting firm. The phrase "I happen to
have worked with an excellent firm" means:
"what a coincidence, I
actually worked with an excellent firm."
OK so I'm making the message sound a
little more special by using the phrase
"I happen to..." In my final paragraph, I'm
asking for permission to pass on Ms. Higgs'
contact information to the
consulting firm. So there you go, an e-mail
to refer a vendor to a client. The new
business happens only when people meet
new people, so maybe this will help our
client in some way, maybe. Anyway, that's it
for today, thank you for watching and
I'll see you next week.
