Thank you for your letter of October 10 for business copiers. We are now sending you our price-list and catalog of the newest types that are under production and we can supply at once from stock.

　We want to notice you that prices of copier parts and components have gone up steadily since the second half of the year. Though we have tried hard to keep our quotations down, we are afraid the margin for keeping on going like this will not long. Therefore, we suggest that you will let us have your order before further rises in costs, which will lead to a raise in prices very soon unavoidably.

　感謝貴方10月10日關(guān)于商用復(fù)印機的詢函?，F(xiàn)隨函奉送本公司正在生產(chǎn)的、并有現(xiàn)貨供應(yīng)的最新型號的產(chǎn)品清單和價目表。

　我方想告訴貴方，自下半年以來，復(fù)印機的零、部件價格一直不斷增長。盡管我方盡量壓低報價，但恐怕有此余地的時間不會太久。因此，建議貴方在零、部件再次漲價，并不可避免地引起成品漲價之前便向我方訂貨。

　二. 要求及時供貨

　We understand that you are the agent for the White Tiger ties. We enclose our order for 1000 dozens of the White Tiger ties. Please note that we need these goods rather urgently as Christmas is drawing near. If you could supply goods timely for seasons, we would make repeated orders, provided prices are reasonable. Payment for the enclosed order will be made on a draft at sight under our letter of credit opened in your favor on receipt of your confirmation that the goods are sent out, and can be delivered before 1, December, 2000.

　獲悉貴公司為“白虎牌領(lǐng)帶”的代理商。茲附上1000打白虎牌領(lǐng)帶訂單一份。

　請注意，由于 圣誕節(jié) 在即，本公司急需這批貨物。如果貴公司能夠及時供應(yīng)時令貨品，而且價格公道，我方將繼續(xù)訂貨。

　此票訂單之貨款，待確認貴方已于2000年12月1日前發(fā)貨之后，本公司即向貴公司開出見票即付的 信用證 。

　三. 要求代理商報價

　We have read in China Daily that you are the exclusive agent for Hi-Fi Corporation of Africa and Asia. Would you please send us price-lists and catalogues of all the Hi-Fi wireless products and terms of payment. Please advise if you would grant special terms for an annual trade over 1 million U.S. dollars. A visit of your representative would be appreciated. Perhaps he could bring the newest samples of the 999 hand phone, an item of growing interest here.

　我方從《中國日報》上獲知，貴公司為高保真公司在非洲和亞洲的獨家代理商。

　請惠送該公司所有無線通訊產(chǎn)品的目錄、價目表及付款條件，并請告知，如果每年交易額達100萬美元以上，是否可獲得特別條件。

　敬請貴方派代表來與我們洽談，并攜帶最新999型手機樣品，該產(chǎn)品在此地銷路看好。

　四. 回復(fù) 詢盤 告知無貨

　Referring to your letter of 5 June, we very much regret that we are unable to make you an offer for the goods you demand. The reason is that the product you need has been out of stock. What’s more our manufacturers have declined orders because of shortage of raw materials.

　We shall, however, file your inquiry and cable you our offers as soon as we have got supplies.

　我方收到貴公司6月5日來函，但非常遺憾，我方無法對貴方所需產(chǎn)品報盤。其原因是，此貨品在我處已經(jīng)脫銷。而且，由于原料短缺，生產(chǎn)廠家已經(jīng)拒絕了我方訂單。

　我方已將貴方詢函備案，一經(jīng)有貨，我方將以電報報盤。

　五. 回復(fù) 詢盤 ，量大折價

　We are pleased to receive your letter of 5 July and enclose our catalogue and price list. Also by separate post we are sending you the samples of our products. Our catalogue contains items and their specifications of our supplies. Through comparing our prices with those of other suppliers, you will appreciate the moderate prices of ours. For a total purchase of not less than 100,000 and not more than 200,000 American dollars, we would allow a discount of 10% and for a purchase larger than 200,000 American dollars, we would allow a 20% special discount.

　很高興收到貴公司7月5日來函?，F(xiàn)寄上產(chǎn)品目錄與價目表。同時另封寄去樣品，請查收。

　所寄產(chǎn)品目錄包括本公司產(chǎn)品的品名、規(guī)格。與其他廠商的價格比較，我方的報價定會使貴方滿意。

　凡總定購量超過100,000美元但不足200,000美元者，我方將給予10%的折扣;凡總定購量超過200,000美元者，我方將給予20%的折扣。

　六. 如何追問買方意見

　In reply to your inquiry we sent you on May 25 a copy of illustrated catalog of our electric products. As we have not heard from you since, we would like to ask whether you have had received our reply and what opinion you have on our products. We are always ready to serve you and should be grateful for your reply.

　在5月25日我方對貴方詢函的回函中，已寄去本公司電器產(chǎn)品的附圖目錄。因迄今尚未接到貴方的消息，特致函詢問，貴方是否已收到我方回函，并征求貴方對本公司產(chǎn)品的意見。我方隨時愿意效勞，若承蒙貴方惠賜回函，當不勝感激。
