Dear Sir/Madam

We are a chain of retailers based in Birmingham and are looking for a manufacturer who can supply us with a wide range of sweaters for the men’s leisure market. We were impressed by new designs displayed on your stand at the Hamburg Menswear Exhibition last month.

As we usually place large orders, we would expect a quantity discount in addition to a 20% trade discount off net list prices. Our terms of payment are normally 30-day bill of exchange, D/A*.

If these conditions interest you, and you can meet orders over 500 garments at one time, please send us your current catalogue and price list.

We hope to hear from you soon.
