What is the difference between Enquiry and Inquiry? When replying to emails, do we say, thank you for your enquiry or inquiry?

Hi Finnian,
In an email, you would use 'enquiry'.
An enquiry is a question (e.g. I am enquiring about your opening times)
An inquiry is an investigation into something. For example, if someone dies in suspicious circumstances, or the government makes a mistake, there is an inquiry.
Hope this helps

The word inquiry is being used in relation to a formal inquest , while enquiry is being used to denote the act of questioning
