    Hello Bosun

    1.We will send you the remaining items in your order at a later date.
    — This is fine!

    2. My apologies to you for the delay responding to your e-mail on a my business trip
    — Not quite; you don't need "to you", you need a preposition before "responding", and the part in bold isn't quite right (try to make a separate clause or sentence of it). If you try again, I'll check it for you!

    3.The new web service is going well.
    — Fine!

    4..... as an Assistant Manager in the Strategy Purchaning Division, Cheaonan Purchanging Team, and I am mainly responsible for Analysising the cost of new commodity. I am writing the e-mail because I was introduced to you by the Sales manager in our headoffice.
    — I've marked the parts that aren't quite right. Do you want to try again?

    All the best,

    MrP

    This is my suggestion and I am not sure how to change some of the marked words.

    2. My apologies for the delay in responding to your email. I was on a business trip for a couple of days.

    4.... as an assistant manger in the stragegy purchase division, XX purchase team and I are responsible for estimating the cost of new items. I am writing this email because I was introduced to you.....

    Hello Bosun

    2. My apologies for the delay in responding to your email. I was on a business trip for a couple of days.] Yes, that's fine. It would probably suit an informal situation, where you knew your correspondent relatively well. For a slightly more formal tone, you could say e.g. "...I have been away on business for a few days."

    4.... as an assistant manager in the strategy purchase division, XX purchase team and I are responsible for estimating the cost of new items. I am writing this email because I was introduced to you...] Yes, that's almost ok. The only parts that I'm not sure about are these:

    a) strategy purchase division ] I'm not sure what this would mean – what does the division do?

    b) I am writing this email because I was introduced to you ] Here, did you want to express a sense of "I am writing to you following our meeting..."?

    All the best,

    MrP
