We thank you for your quotation of February 3 for 1,ooo sets of Panosoinc 2188 Colour TV. We find your price as well as delivery date satisfactory, however we would give our suggestion of an alteration of your payment terms.
Our past purchase of other household electrical appliances from you has benn paid as a rule by confirmed, irrevocable letter of credit at sight. On this basis, it has indeed cost us a great deal. From the moment to open credit till the time our buyers pay us, the tie-up of our funds lasts xbout four months. Under the present circumstance, this question is particularly taxing owing to the tight money condition and unprecedentedly high bank interest.
In view of our long business relations and our amicable cooperation prospects, we suggest that you accept either “Cash against Documents on arrival of goods” or “Drawing on us at 60 day’s sight”.
Your first priority to the consideration of the above request and an early favourable reply will be highly appreciated. Yours faithfully,
