Dear Sirs,
We are one of the largest producers of confectionary in Great Britain and we will be pleased to supply you with our high-grade chocolate on the best terms.
Cocoa beans are in great supply on world markets now. Supplies of this commodity have greatly exceeded the demand causing a slump in its prices. Our production costs have fallen thanks to this favourable supply situation, and we can offer you firm our chocolate at very competitive prices.
We enclose details of our range of products and our export prices. The quoted prices are f.o.t. London. Payment for initial orders should be made on invoice.
Immediate shipment from London is guaranteed as we have a good supply of our products. However, we would recommend you to place an order promptly as there has been a huge response from other foreign customers to this special offer.
We look forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully, C.Marlow C.Marlow Export Manager |

Dear Mr. Pirogov,
Last year we offered you our medical instruments. You expressed interest in our goods, but did not place orders. Now we can offer you an expanded and improved range of our goods on more favourable terms as our factory has recently been reorganized and new manufacturing methods have been introduced.
We enclose our current price-list quoting f.o.b. prices. C.i.f. prices can also be quoted but will be 15% dearer. We are offering a special 10% discount off all net prices. We have the instruments in stock and will ship them as soon as we receive your order.
We should appreciate the opportunity of showing you how efficiently we can serve you.
Yours sincerely, F.Nightingale F.Nightingale (Ms) Senior Export Manager
