We write to thank you for your letter and for the booklets you very kindly sent us
We appreciate the good quality of the captioned goods ,but unfortunately your prices appear to be on the high side and out of line with the prevailing market level . To accept the process you quote would leave us with only a small profit on our sales since this is a area in which the principal demand is for articles in the medium price range .
We like the quality of your goods and also the way in which you have handle our enquiry and would welcome the opportunity to do business with you . May we suggest that you allow us a discount of 3% on your quote prices that would help you to introduce your goods to our customers ?
Much as we would like to cooperate with you , we just can not see our way to entertain your offer, as the price quote is too much high to be workable . In view of our long-standing business relations , we counter-offer , subject to your reply here within two days ,
As the market is declining，we hope you will consider our counter-offer most favorably and fax us your acceptance as soon as possible .
We are anticipating your reply.
