Dear sirs,
The 12,000 cycles you ordered will be ready for dispatch by 17th December. Since you require them for onward shipment to Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar, we are arranging for them to be packed in seaworthy containers.
Each bicycle is enclosed in a corrugated cardboard pack, and 20 are banned together and wrapped in sheet plastic. A container holds 240 cycles; the whole cargo would therefore comprise 50 containers, each weighing 8 tons. Dispatch can be made from our works by rail to be forwarded from Shanghai harbour. The freight charges from works to Shanghai are US$80 per container, totally US$ for this cnsignment, excluding container hire, which will be charged to your account.
Please let us have your delivery instruction.
Yours faithfully,

On a personal note, I must say that I am delighted that we are probably going to strengthen our relationship. I have very pleasant memories of my last visit to Bahrain when you entertained me so delightfully .I look forward to reciprocating on your next visit to Milan .
My very best wishes to you and your wife.

如果每个款式的购买数量不少于1000 罗的话我们可给2%的折扣。支付是凭不可撤销的即期信用证。

Dear Sirs,
We are glad to acknowledge you inquiry dated April 10th. As your request, we will send you our illustrated catalogue and pricelist. Separately, we will send you some samples. I believe after checking, you will recognize that our product is of high quality and price is reasonable.
If the purchasing quantity for each specification is not less than 1000G(G=Gross), we can offer you 2% discount. The payment is irrevocable sight L/C.
Because of texture and durable, our bed sheet and pillow cover are far more popular.
I guess after considering our price, you will find why we couldn’t meet the demands of the market. However, if your order is not later than the end of the month, we can assure you prompt shipment. We look forward to your early reply.

Dear Sirs：
Thank you for your letter of 20 January 20_. We are disappointed to hear that our price for Flame cigarette lighters is too high for you to work on. You mention that Japanese goods are being offered to you at a price approximately 10% lower than that quoted by us.
We accept what you say， but we are of the opinion that the quality of the other makes does not measure up to that of our products.
Although we are keen to do business with you， we regret that we cannot accept your counter offer or even meet you half way.
The best we can do is to reduce our previous quotation by 2%. We trust that this will meet with your look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully，

先生：
二零零四年元月二十日来函收到，不胜感激。得知贵公司认为火焰牌打火机价格过高，无利可图，本公司极感遗憾。来函又提及日本同类货品报价较其低近百分之十。
本公司认同来函的说法，然而，其他厂商的产品质量绝对不能与本公司的相提并论。
虽然极望与贵公司交易，但该还盘较本公司报价相差极大，故未能接受贵公司定单。
特此调整报价，降价百分之二，祈盼贵公司满意。
谨候佳音。
