Hello everybody!
Could you explane the difference between "inquiry" and "enquiry"?

Thank you
Lara

Apart from the spelling, there isn't one.
They're alternative spellings.

Could it be correct to say

Thanks

'had some enquiries' is incorrect. The verb you need is 'to make'
I've made some enquiries about him.

You should not use an exclamation mark and a comma together. One replaces the other.
