Letter Ten
Dear Mr. Merton,
Thank you for your letter of 11 November 2001.
We gave considered your request for a trial delivery of china on documents against acceptance terms, but regret to say that we cannot agree to your proposal.
As an exception, the best we can do for the trial is to offer you direct payment at sight terms.
If you accept our proposal you run very little risk, since our china is well known for its quality, attractive design and reasonable price. Our lines sell very well all over the world and have done so far for the last 50 years. We do not think you will have any difficult in achieving a satisfactory volume of sales.
If you find our proposal acceptable, please let us know and we can then expedite the transaction.
Yours faithfully,
T. Brightwell
Sales Manager
