These things are called pangrams, and the most famous is the one typists use to test their keyboards: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. We don't know of a sentence that only uses each letter once, but there is a 28-letter example that uses the letters "i" and "u" twice: Brick quiz whangs jumpy veldt fox.

There is not such thing as an "english alphabet". There is the Latin alphabet. The romans conquered the world and the nations that didn't had discovered the writing adopted the Latin alphabet and adjusted at the needs of their Language. Russia and the Slavic nations(there is not a country named "Macedonia") are using the Cyrrilic alphabet which was created by the Greek monk Cyrrilos. And of course the Latin alphabet came from the Greek Alphabet

There is no such sentence. I once read a Yahoo! Answers question that had information about the shortest sentence that contained each letter, but even that sentence had to repeat letters. In particular, I think you would run out of vowels very quickly. Assuming that each vowel in the alphabet represents a possible vowel sound, there would be 21 consonants to 5 vowels, giving a ratio of about 4 consonants to each vowel. It is possible to have syllables in English that have 4 consonants for each vowel, but not very frequent.
EDIT: I just saw the answer right above mine and I guess I was wrong. Only if Cwm is really the name of a valley, though.
