Export electric toys

We have received your letter of May 12th offering us 5000 electric toys at US $5.00 each.thanks.

We have been very pleased with your product as you know.However,it is regretful that your price is too high to come to business as we find that we can obtain a price of $4.50 for each one with a local firm.This is 50 cents each lower than your price.

In view of our long-standing business relationship,we make you such a counter offer.If you can see your way clear to meeting these figures we would be pleased to place with you an order that will carry us for the rest of this year.That order is likely to one of the largest that we have ever placed with you.

Please inform us of acceptance at your earliest convenience. Yours truly,

Re:New price of silk underwear Dear Sirs,

Thanks you for your letter of June 12.Considering the fact that we have done business with each other for so long and that you have bought from us such a volume of silk underwear,we would like to offer you a special discount of 5% on the order of $600 In your request for lower prices.

The price of US $20 per piece is only valid for the order of this time,excluding the subsequent orders.Since the silk price is increasingly rising and our own overheads have been going up,absolutely our price will not remain the old one and probably rise in the near future.Thus,at the end of this July you will have to go back to the previous price list. You wholehearted cooperation is very much appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

事由：真丝内衣的最新报价

执事先生：

感谢贵方6月12日得来函。考虑到我们之间长期的合作关系，以及贵公司此次购买我们的真丝内衣数量较大，根据你们降价的请求，我们愿意给你们600美元的订单5%的优惠折扣。

每件20美元的价格仅限此次订单，不适于以后的订单。由于蚕丝的价格持续攀升，而且我们的营业开支日益增加，我们已不可能维持原价，不久商品价格很可能更高。因此，此报价的有效期只保持到今年7月底。

感谢贵方的通力合作。

Asking for easier Payment Terms April 20th ,2005

Dear Sirs ,

We are pleased that the businesses between us have proved to be very smooth and successful.Our past purchase of Giant Bicycles from you has been paid as a rule by confimed ,irrevocable letter of credit.

On this basis ,it has indeed cost us a great deal .from the moment we open the credit till the time our buyers pay us,our funds are tied up for about four months.

Under the present circumstances,this question is particularly taxing due to the tight money conditions and the unprecedented high bank interest.If you would kindly grant easier payment terms ,we are sure that such an accommodation would be conducive to encouraging more business.We propose payment either by “Cash against Document on arrival of goods”or “Drawing on us at three months sight”.

It will be highly appreciated if you can kindly give priority to the consideration of the above request and give us an early favorable reply. Your faithfully,

翻译：要求更便利的付款条件 敬启者：

你我双方间的贸易一直顺利成功，令人欣慰。我方以往一直采用保兑的、不可撤销的信用证从贵处购买的捷安特自行车。

以此种方式支付，我方费用甚大。从开立信用证到买方付款，资金占用约需四个月。当前由于资金紧张和银行的高额利息，此种付款方式负担过重。若能给予易于接受的付款条款，我们相信，这样的照顾定会促进我们双方间的贸易。为此，我们建议采用“货到后凭单付款”或“见票后3个月付款”方式支付。

如能优先考虑上述要求，尽早给予令人满意的答复，我方将不胜感激。

敬上

第九章第3篇 Reply to letter 2 Dear Mr.Boswell,

We note from your letter dated April 20 ,2005 that you wish to have a chang in payment terms.

,Actually ,there is nothing unusual in our original arrangment of payment.Counting from the time you open credit till the time the shipment reaches your port. the intervals ,which is quite normal ,is only about three months.Besides,your L/C cannot meet your requst.

As we must adhere to our customary practices,we sincerely hope that this will not affect our future business relations.

As soon As the suppliers of Giant Bicycles come in ,we will contact you.

Yours truly, Guo Zhan Manager

翻译：对信函二的回复 尊敬的鲍兹威尔先生：

贵公司2005年4月20日来函收悉，得知你方希望改变支付

条款。

实际上，我们原有的付款条件并无不妥。从开立信用证至货物运达你方港口，这段时间仅为3个月，这实属正常。此外，货物备妥待运时你方才开立信用证。为此，很遗憾我们不能满足你方要求。因我方必须坚持管理，我们真诚希望，此事不会影响我们今后的业务关系。

当捷安特自行车到货时，马上与你方联系。 第九章第4篇
