Dear Mr T. Gajibula
Orders for Lace
Thank you for your offer of 5 April and for the pattern collection that you sent us under separate cover. We have examined the samples and are pleased with their quality.
We are enclosing 2 (two) trial orders:
No.156 for immediate delivery
No.157 for shipment on 10 June.
Please let us have confirmation of these.
One of your competitors has quoted us a discount of 10% for payment within 30 days and an additional 2.5% discount for payment within 7 days of the invoice date. We assume that you are willing to do business on the same terms, and these orders are conditional on your agreeing to them.
In the event of our being satisfied with the trial orders, we hope to be able to place regular orders with you in the future.
Yours sincerely
JTaylor
