6、对价格作出让步

Thank you for your letter of&.

nbsp.29 December 1995. We are disappointed
to hear that our .price for Flame cigarette
lighters is too high for you to work on. You
mention that Japanese goods are being offered
to you at a price approximately 10% lower than
that quoted by us .We accept what you say, but
we are of the opinion that the qualityof the
other makes does not measure up to that of
our products.Although we are keen to do business
with you, we regret that wecannot accept your
counter offer or even meet you half way.The best
we can do is to reduce our previous quotation
by 2%. We trust that this will meet with your
approval.We look forward to hearing from you.

1995年12月29日来函收到，不胜感激。得知贵公司认为火焰牌打火机价格过高，无利可图，本公司极感遗憾。来函又提及日本同类货品报价较其低近10%。本公司认同来函的说法，然而，其他厂商的产品质量绝对不能与本公司的相提并论。虽然亟望与贵公司交易，但该还价较本公司报价相差极大，故未能接受贵公司定单。特此调整报价，降价2%，祈盼贵公司满意。

谨候佳音。

7、加价前作出优惠

from 1 April of next year, prices for our
products are due to increase by 10% across the

the current prices.In addition, we are willing
to give youa discount of 5% on all orders of more

the coming year.We look forward to your early reply.

期待着你的复音。

8、提出降价要求以便订货

We have been very pleased with your product，
as you know. However, we find that we can obtain
a price of $4.00 per hundred with a local firm.
This is fifty cents per hundred lower than your
price.If you can see your way clear to meeting
these figures we would be pleased to place with
you an order that will carry us for the rest of
this year. That order is likely to be one of the
largest that we have ever placed with you.

你知道，我们对你的产品一直都很满意。但发现，在当地一家公司可以得到每百个价格为4.00美元的这种产品，比你们每一百个的价格少50美分。如果你们能设法找出原因并使价格也达到这样的数字标准，我们就乐意向你们提出一项可以执行到本年底的订货。而且该项订货就可能是我们从来也没有向你们提出过的最大订货之一。

9、订货前说明要求降价原因

We are aware of the fact that your office uipment
is among the best on the market. We realize that
your materials are of the very highest quality
and that you pay the highest wages in the field.
Nerertheless , we would prefer handing lower
quality goods if we could get a lower price. Our
customers do not demand the standard of quality
that you put into your equipment. If we are to
continue doing business with you we must ask for
a reduction in price in price in order that we may
achieve a higher volume of sales. We shallwait for
a price from you before we decide where to place
out next order.

我们所知道的事实是，你们的办公设备是市场上最上等的。所采用的技术资料是最高级的，同时在本地区中你们所付出的工资也是最高的。

然而，如果我们能够在价格上得点便宜，则宁可经营质量标准。假若需要和我们继续做买卖，就得要求你们价格减少7.5%，以使我们的销售额有所提高。在决定下次向哪里去订货以前，我们等待着你们在价格方面的回音。

10、再次要求削价

We regret that it is not possible to accept the
reduced price you offer. It was very kind of you
to suggest meeting us half way, but thiwill not
be enough to compensate for our increased overhead
and advertising.Unless you see your way clear to
grant us an additional reduction in price, we may
have to discontinue our very pleasant arrangement
with you.
