贵公司8月22日来信认为我方报价过高,令人感到遗憾。我公司一向在不影响质量的条件下尽可能降低价格。为此,我们一直在探讨制鞋的新工艺。
鉴于所报皮鞋的质量,我公司并不认为我方报价有过高之处,但考虑到双方长期的业务关系,我公司决定对贵公司超过1万美元的订货,给予3%的特别折扣。我们作此让价是为了继续保持双方的业务关系。但必须强调指出,这是我公司所能做的最大让步。希望这个修订的报价能促成贵公司提出订货。
Gentlemen,
We are sorry to learn from your letter of August 22 that you find our price too high. We do our best to keep prices as low as possible without sacrificing quality. To this end, we are constantly enquiring into new methods of making shoes.
Considering the quality of shoes offered, we do not feel that the prices we quoted are at all excessive, but bearing in mind the long-standing relationship between our firms, we have decided to offer you a special discount of 3% on an order exceeding $ 10,000. We make this allowance because we should like to continue to do business with you, but we must stress that it is the furthest we can go. We hope this revised offer will now enable you to place an order.
Yours sincerely,
Sam Lee
