Dear Sirs

We thank you for your letter of 25 June, and are glad to inform you that all the items listed in your enquiry, are in stock. We are enclosing a pro-forma invoice for the aluminium fittings you are interested in: if you wish to place a firm order, will you please arrange for settlement of the invoice by draft through your bank, and advise us at the same time.

We can guarantee delivery in Melbourne within 3 weeks of receiving your instruc­tions. If you require the items urgently, we will arrange for them to be sent by air, but this will, of course, entail higher freight charges.

We are enclosing details of our terms of payment, and would be happy to discuss discounts with you if you would kindly let us know how large your orders are likely to be.

We are also enclosing a copy of the report, which appeared in the March issue of The Metal Worker, on our ALUMOY fittings..

Dear Sirs

We are very pleased to have your enquiry, and are enclosing the price-list you requested, together with our terms of sale.

As you have evidently realized, plastic kitchenware is here to stay — it has already ousted heavy and expendable metal, glass and china from the modern kitchen. Dealers who have displayed our brightly coloured range have reported good sales even in the present season, when hardware sales are usually at their lowest.

After studying our prices and our liberal terms to the trade, you will understand why we are working to capacity to meet the demand. We would advise you, therefore, to let us have your order by the end of the month, as this will enable you to have stocks of our attractive lines by Easter.

We look forward to the opportunity of being of service to you.

Yours faithfully

Re: DRILITE BATTERIES

Improved methods of production enable us to offer you our range of Drilite batteries at a reduced price for large quantities.

Details of the new prices for your market are enclosed, and you will see that the average price reduction is 5%. As our prices are quoted c.i.f. Dublin, you will agree that they are considerably lower than those of manufacturers of similar batteries, both here in Japan and elsewhere.

The quality of our products remains the same — only the finest chemicals are used. The new prices are for minimum orders of £1,000 and are effective as from 1 January. Immediate dispatch is guaranteed, and we hold ample stocks.

We appreciate your past custom, and look forward to supplying you in the new year at the new prices.

In your letter of 1 May you ask us to send you samples of our rubberised floor-coverings for use on rough surfaces. We appreciate your interest, and have today dispatched a range of qualities which we have selected specially to meet your needs.

All of these materials are robust and hard-wearing, and we particularly recommend no. 7 — compo — which is a synthetic substance developed by our research department to withstand the wear and tear of rough and uneven floors.

Please give the samples any test you wish: we are confident that they will stand up to the roughest handling.

Our price-list is enclosed with this letter, together with our trade terms, as we think you will need these when you have completed your tests. It will be a pleasure to quote you terms for contract supplies, and our technical repre­sentatives are at your service at all times.

Many thanks for your letter of 15 July, in which you ask us for an extra discount of 2'/₂% over and above the usual trade discounts in connection with your order for 30,000 envelopes no. 2M.

While we appreciate your order, we feel we must point out that our prices have already been cut to the minimum possible, and that envelopes are unobtain­able elsewhere at these rates.

However, we would be willing to allow you a special 2'/₂% discount if you could see your way to increasing your order to 50,000.

Messrs. Hankinson and Co. of Towgate St., with whom we have been doing business for a number of years, have informed us that you will probably be replenishing your stocks of French white wines in the near future.

You will already know that we had an exceptionally good season in 1993, and that the fine quality of our white vintages of that year is renowned both in your country and in ours.

We are now shipping these wines, and would be very glad to welcome you as customers. Our full export price-list is enclosed, but we would like to draw your attention particularly to our

White Bordeaux @ £60.00 per gross bottles, and

Sauterne @ £70.00 - „ -

These wines have always sold very well in Britain, and the prices quoted above for bulk purchase will enable you to sell at highly competitive prices, while obtaining a good margin of profit.

We will be pleased to supply you with a first order against settlement within 30 days of date of invoice, and with 2'/₂% discount.

Immediate shipment from Bordeaux is guaranteed.

We advise you to place your order promptly, since we expect considerable response from other foreign customers to this special offer.

Dear Sir or Madam

On 1 June this year we are moving to larger and more modern premises at nos. 50-55 Oxford Street. Our business has grown so considerably in recent years that we can no longer provide our customers with the service we are used to giving them in our present building.

In view of this move we are selling off our entire stock at greatly reduced prices to save us the trouble and expense of packing and removal.

Come and visit us any day next week. The sale will last for 7 days only — less if stocks are cleared sooner. This is an exceptional opportunity for you to obtain real bargains: reductions range from 15% to 30%, while certain surplus lines will be going at up to 50% off list prices.

Don't miss this chance! Our doors open at 9 a.m. on Monday 20 May.

Dear Sirs

In last summer's exceptionally fine weather we were so overloaded with late orders from most of our regular customers that we were unable to keep pace with the demand.

To encourage all customers to lay in a good opening stock this year, we are prepared to offer a special trade discount of 4% on all orders over £500 net value received before the end of the month.

Help us by helping yourselves!

A few weeks ago we were fortunate enough to have the offer of the entire stock of the Hartley Blanket Company, which has now ceased to manufacture woolen products.

Orders will be executed in strict rotation and can only be accepted as long as stocks last.

Dear Mr Morton

You wish to modernize your store-rooms with the most up-to-date shelving system yet devised: that is clear because you asked for our catalogue, which was sent to you earlier this month.

The next step lies, of course, with you. You could have a demonstration of the fitting of the lockshelf system in your own store-room, or see the combined units here in our showrooms.

You could test for yourself the wonderful adaptability of our system to all stor­age problems, by sending us a trial order for one 5 metre section, which com­prises three units. Or if you have any special problems, you are welcome to our advice without any obligation.

You may be sure that whichever of our services you decide to use, you will receive our immediate attention.

Dear Dr. Singhvi:

Here is the information you requested about how to protect your invention. The enclosed report, «Patent Protection», also explains how to sell your product.

The report states: «You do not always need patent pro­tection to market a product successfully». Marketing without a patent, however, is usually done only by business owners.

The prospects for licensing a product without a patent are poor. Many U.S. manufacturers will not consider an idea or invention that is not patented.

If you decide to apply for a patent, you should first seek legal help. Telephone or write to a registered patent attorney or agent. Attorneys and agents are available in your country or in the United States. A list of U.S. attorneys and agents is enclosed.

We wish you success in obtaining a patent for your invention. Please let us know if we can offer additional help;

Sincerely yours,

Dear Mrs. Hohenfellner:

Thank you for asking about techniques for improving worker productivity.

I am enclosing a booklet about ways to improve the quality of work life. It explains how these obstacles were overcome in one company:

- Worker resistance

- Worker resentment

- Worker skepticism

- Inaccurate job classifications

- Ineffective work habits

These obstacles were overcome by reorganizing retraining the company's work units. The modified units were then ready to begin work in the plant.

After the quality of work life had improved the com-pany used the same work-unit procedure in other plants. The idea of reorganizing and retraining the units was adjusts as needed for each plant.

We hope this information will help you improve pro­ductivity in your company. Please write or telephone if we can provide further information.

Thank you for your quotation of 75p per metre for cloth no. 110.

Before we place an order with you, we would like to know whether you can quote us a slightly better price for the material. We are thinking in terms of an order for some 2,000 metres, and as the cloth is for export to a highly competitive market, a keen price is essential.

A prompt reply would be greatly appreciated.

Exporter's request for lower price

Dear Sirs

We have received your quotation of 1 February and the samples of men's suiting we asked for, and thank you for these.

While we appreciate the good quality of your products, we find the prices of these materials rather high for the market we supply. We have to point out that very good materials of this type are being exported by European manufacturers at prices from 10% to 15% below yours, so the prices you quote would make it impossible for us to compete on the market in question.

We would like to place our order with you, but must ask you to consider mak­ing us a more favourable offer. As our order would be worth around £8,000, you may find a concession worthwhile.

ORDER 8

Dear Sir,

In reply to your letter dated 8th July we would like to tell you that your terms of delivery and payment are quite acceptable to us, we find your price a bit too high, though.
