Letter 11Making a QuotationDear Sirs,We are in receipt of your letter of July 17, asking us to offer 10,000 metric tons of Superior White Sugar on FAS Shanghai basis and appreciate very much your interest in our product.To comply with your request, we are quoting you as follows:1. Commodity: Superior White Crystal Sugar.2. Packing: To be packed in new gunny bag of 100 kgs. each.3. Quantity: Ten Thousand (10,000) metric tons.4. Price: at USD105.00 per metric ton, FAS Shanghai.5. Payment: by 100% irrevocable and confirmed letter of credit in our favor available by draft at sight.6.

Therefore, it is imperative that, in order to enable us to effect early shipment, your letter of credit should be opened in time if our price meets with your approval.We are awaiting your immediate reply.Yours faithfully,Letter 12Making an OfferDear Sirs,We are in receipt of your letter of Nov. 21, for which we thank you, and to which we have sent you a reply by telex this morning.You must have noted from our telex that we are in position to make you a firm offer on 250 L/Ts Steel Tubes at £620.00 per L/T CIF Lagos, for shipment to be effected within two months after receipt of your order, and payment is to be made by sight L/C. This offer is subject to your reply reaching here within one week.As you are aware, there has been an active demand for Steel Tubes in the market. Therefore, it is impossible for us to keep this offer open too long for it will certainly result in increased price, to which we hope you will pay attention, and meanwhile we are expecting your early reply.Yoursfaithfully,Letter 13Making a Counter-offerGentlemen:Re : Bitter Apricot Kernels 1999 CropWe are in receipt of your letter of August 14 offering us 60 metric tons of the captioned goods at RMB2,660 per metric ton on the usual terms.In reply, we regret to inform you that our buyers in Odense find your price much too high. Information indicates that some parcels of Turkish origin have been sold there at a level about ten percent lower than yours.We do not deny that the quality of Chinese Kernels is slightly better, but the difference in price should, in no case, be as big as ten percent.To step up trade, we, on behalf of our buyers, counteroffer asfollows ,subject to your reply being received here by August 26, our time: “60 metric tons Bitter Apricot kernels, 1999 Crop at RMB 2350 per metric ton on CIFC 2% Odense with transshipment at Copenhagen, other term as per your letter dated 14/8/99”.As the market is declining, we recommend your immediate acceptance.Yourstruly,Letter 14Advising Sb. To Accept a QuotationDear Sirs,We have for acknowledgement your letter of Feb. 27 from which we note that you find our quotation for the abovementioned commodity too high to be acceptable, as the goods of Spanish origin have been offered at a price about 10% lower than ours. While we do not doubt what (ever) you said, we are of the opinion that the quality of the Spanish goods is far from being comparable to ours.However desirous we are to develop trade between us, we very much regret that we cannot accept your counteroffer. The best we can do is to allow you a 2% reduction in price. We believe if you take the quality into consideration, you will find our quotation most favorable. As our stocks are running low, it is advisable for you to make an immediate decision.We are looking forward to your favorable reply.Yours faithfully,Letter 15Comparison of GoodsGentlemen:We are pleased to learn from China Council for the Promotion of International Trade who informed us that you are in the market for honey.We wish to inform you that we are specialized in the export of the commodity. Chinese honey is popular with European customers with its special flavor.As requested, we now enclose our quotation sheet with samples and catalogues to be sent under separate cover. We trust that the quoted price is acceptable to you, which is 10% lower than that of the similar article of Indian origin. A fair comparison in quality between our products and those of other suppliers will convince you of the reasonableness of our quotations.We would suggest that you send us your trial order as soon as possible, as there is a brisk demand for this article.Yours faithfully,Letter 16Recommendation of a SubstituteDear Sirs,We are delighted to receive your letter of November 18 asking whether we can supply you with Art. No.6024. However, we regret to tell you that the said article is not available owing to the rush of orders.In order to meet your demand, we would recommend an excellent substitute. It is as good as the inquired article in quality, but the price is 25% lower. It has already found a ready market in Asia. We are dead sure it will meet with warm reception in your country as well.Full details of our export prices and terms of business are enclosed with this letter. Our illustrated catalogues and sales literature are being sent by separate post.You may be sure of our immediate attention to your order, which we look forward to receiving.Sincerely yours,Letter 17Introducing commodityDear Sirs,The Global Trading Co., Ltd has informed us that you are searching for high-grade Wool Sweaters to be shipped to Denmark. We’d like to offer you our “Arrow” lines which reach a standard sufficiently high to redound your credit.“Arrow” brand Wool Sweaters are exclu sively made from qualityexport-grade Australian pure new wool, which has unique features giving natural warmth and comfort with proper elasticity and soft feeling. They are also ideal for those with rheumatic, arthritis and back suffering, and already have a good market in over 25 countries and regions.Dealers in this line have reaped gratifying profits and we have no doubt that you will also be able to share the success.We enclose a catalogue of the goods for your reference and look forward to your early reply.Sincerely yours,Letter 18Sales PromotionDear Sirs,Thank you for your letter of June 18 ordering 8,000 meters of 100 cm wide watered silk.We regret to say that we can no longer supply this silk. Fashions constantly change and in recent years the demand for watered silks has fallen to such an extent that we ceased to produce them.In their place we can offer our new Gossamer brand of rayon. This is a finely woven, hardwearing, non-creasable material with a most attractive luster. The large number of repeat orders we regularly receive from leading distributors and dress manufacturers is a clear evidence of the widespread popularity of this brand. At the low price of only $1.10 per meter, this rayon is much cheaper than silk and its appearance is just as attractive.We also manufacture other cloths in which you may be interested, and are sending a complete range of patterns by parcel post. All these cloths are selling very well in many countries and can be supplied from stock. If, as we hope, you decide to place an order, we could meet it within three weeks.We hope to hear from you soon.Very cordially yours,Letter 19Supplier Refuses Price ReductionDear Sirs,We have carefully considered your counter-proposal of 20 July to our offer of woolen underwear, but very much regret that we cannot accept it.The prices quoted in our letter of 18 July leave us with only the smallest margins, and are in fact lower than those of our competitors for goods of similar quality.The wool used in the manufacture of THERMALINE range undergoes a special patented process, which prevents shrinkage and increases durability, the fact that we are the largest suppliers of woolen underwear in this country is in fact in itself evidence of the good value of our products.We hope you will give further thought to this matter, but if you then still feel you cannot accept our offer we hope it will not prevent you from approaching us on some future occasion. We shall always be happy to consider carefully any proposals likely to lead to business between us.Sincerely yours,Letter 20Placing an OrderGentlemen:Enclosed please find our order No. AB3015, for Canvas Shoes in assorted sizes, colors and designs.We have decided to accept the 8% discount you offered and terms of payment, viz. Documents against Payment, but would like these terms to be reviewed in the near future.Would you please send the shipping documents and your sight draft to Northminster Bank (City Branch) Deal Street, Birmingham B3 ISQ?If you do not have any of the listed items in stock, please do not send substitutes in their place.We would appreciate delivery within the next six weeks, and look forward to your acknowledgement.Yours sincerely, Enc. : Order form No. AB 3015。

4. About Credit Inquiries/Investigations
To ensure smooth and successful transactions, it is also essential to make credit inquiries before you correspond with a new customer so as to avoid business risk. Usually, credit investigations include capital/financial condition, capacity /business activity, character and honesty integrity. The information thus obtained must be kept strictly confidential and usually marked with “confidential” or “strict private and confidential”, for it might otherwise get yourself and your informer involved in serious trouble.
