Ex. 8 Write the letter of enquiry to which the letter below is a reply. You are M. Morreau and you saw an advertisement for Glaston Potteries latest designs for oven-to-table ware in the May edition of International Homes.
Dear M. Horreau
Thank you for your enquiry of 28 June in which you expressed an interest in retailing a selection of our products in your shops in Nancy.
Please find enclosed our current catalogue and price list. You might also be interested in visiting our website.
In response to your request for a 20% trade discount, we regret that we cannot offer more than 15%. However, we do dive a 5% quantity discount on orders over $20,000. In comparison with similar companies in the UK, these terms are extremely competitive. Payment would need to be by sight draft until we have established a business relationship.
Finally, we are confident that we can deliver well within the two-month time limit you require.
Thank you for your interest. We hope to hear from you soon.
Yours sincerely
J. Merton
