Dear Sirs:
Re: Chemical Fertilizer We thank you for your letter of July 5th offering us 1000 metric tons of the subject goods at US. $ 600 per metric ton CIF Dalian , usual terms. In reply, we very much regret to state that our end users here find your price too high and out of the prevailing market level. Information indicates that some Japanese makes has been sold at the level of US$ 550 per metric ton. Such being the case, it is impossible for us to persuade our ender users to accept your price. Should you be prepared to reduce your limit by ,say 10 percent , we might come to terms. It is in view of our long-standing business relations that we make you such a counter offer. As the market is declining, we hope you will consider our counter offer most favourably and fax us acceptance at your earliest convenience. We are anticipating your early reply.

Dear Sirs, We wrote to you on May 22 in reply to your enquiry for air-conditioners. However, up to the present writing, we have not had the pleasure of hearing from you. Your silence leads us to think that there must be something that precludes you from making further enquiries. Perhaps it is because that the catalogue we sent you shows only the standard type of air-condtioners, and it is quite probably that you could not find the model you were looking for .
