联络(接触)的性质
从我读的上下文看,“接触”"联络"是正确的字眼。通常，当我们用电子邮件，电话，文字等联系人，是有原因,目的或性质的。例如,因公事, 因私事等。
很多时间，在工作中使用电脑，其内容是可能受到限制或监控的，因此，可以问，接触的性质，如它的目的是为个人或企业。除此之外, 保密也是其中因素之一。

: 这是正确的见地和解释。事实上当业务员问道“What's the nature of the call or contact?时，就是在问您打电话或联络的原因是什么。

其实，许多时候contact表明上指人，实际上指“联系人或联络人的信息/资料”。这在IT领域（如手机或电邮）中尤为常见。
