Teil 2: Fachwissen zu E-Mail-Stil & Verhandlungsdiplomatie im Versicherungswesen
In der internationalen Kommunikation der Versicherungswirtschaft folgt die schriftliche Korrespondenz klaren Konventionen. Die Wahl der richtigen Wendungen sichert die Professionalität und verhindert Missverständnisse:
1. Satzanfänge für förmliche Schreiben & E-Mails
- Inquiry / Anfrage: "I am writing to inquire about the coverage terms for..."
- Confirmation / Bestätigung: "We write to confirm receipt of your claims notification..."
- Follow-up / Anknüpfung: "Further to our discussion on Tuesday, please find attached..."
- Bad News / Ablehnung: "Regrettably, after careful consideration, we are unable to..."
2. Typische Wendungen für Dokumentenanhänge
Statt umgangssprachlich "Here is the file" zu schreiben, nutzen Sie im Geschäftsverkehr bevorzugt:
- "Please find attached the policy schedule for your perusal." (Anbei finden Sie den Versicherungsschein zu Ihrer Durchsicht.)
- "Enclosed please find the cover note as proof of insurance." (Beiliegend finden Sie die Deckungszusage als Nachweis.)
