In view of our long term friendly relationships, we have decided to offer you a special discount of 4% on a first order for $125. We make this allowance because we should furthest we can go to help you. At least I hope this revised offer will now enable you to place an order. Yours faithfully,

To step up the trade, we counteroffer you 10 thousand Changhong Brand color TV sets inch 34 at US$300 per set CIF Copenhagen.
It is hoped that you would seriously take it into consideration and let us have your reply very soon.
