POSITIVE POINTS:

Professional in appearance - well formatted - appears formatted just like a business letter.
Subject line contains information about exactly what the body of the email is providing.
Provides you with a list of what is available, at what price and the procedures for buying it.
No BS or fluff .

NEGATIVE POINTS:

They never bothered to learn who they were sending this to, notice the "Dear,", obviously they are sending it to everyone who is listed on the Internet under 'international trade', 'international business' and/or 'import-export'.
They used a number in the return email address - clearly a sign it is SPAM!
They did not provide a complete business address - does this mean they have something to hide - maybe, maybe not - it would be much, much more professional to have their address, especially since they do not have a web site, which brings me to my next BIG NEGATIVE.
NO WEBSITE??? - in today's Internet connected world, if you wish to be considered a serious contender, you need a website and with hosting costs rates at ALL TIME LOWS there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON for not having a website. If you happen to reading this and wish to be taken seriously, get a website, here is a link to a service that provides you with everything you need to build a website step by step and it includes both the hosting and domain name registration, all for one incredibly low rate - do yourself and your business a favor and check it out - NOTE: even with their step by step building process, you may wish to engage their web building services which are also available at industry low rates: http://www.importexporthelp.com/recommends/best-website-building-system.htm
Yahoo / Hotmail Email addresses - this again ties directly into the need for having a web site - with your own domain, you are most often provided with dozens (sometimes hundreds) of different emails you can set up within your OWN DOMAIN NAME!

Overall, the format of this sample business quote email is excellent, there are still much that could have easily improved it.

Your marketing efforts should be "focused" or "targeted" to gain you the best possible response. Sending hundreds or thousands of emails to people, most of whom have NO interest in your products or services only wastes your time (and theirs) and keeps you from focusing your attention on the REAL BUYERS who could easily be identified with just a little bit of research.
