Dear Ruth:
100% POLYESTER CURTAINS
Thank you for your offer but I have two points to make:
No.1 Your prices are not good enough. I said in my last letter that I want your best price. The way I see it, your prices would remain good enough if you reduce each item by 10 cents.
No.2 I want the goods to be delivered in June the latest, not July.
Please consider the above.

Bob Klein
ALICE HOME FASHIONS

4. An E-mail
From:
To:
Date: Mar 10, 2023

Dear Bob,

In reply to the two points you raised in your last e-mail, I’d like to tell you that:
1. I’ll reduce the prices for each item by 10 US cents, seeing you are an old customer;
2. As to the time of delivery, I’m sorry to say that the factory has a heavy backlog. Besides, part of the processing of the curtains has to be done by countrywomen, who will be very busy in June, when the reaping of wheat begins. So I propose delivery before June 30 to be written in the contract, but certainly I will try my best to advance shipment if possible.
I am looking forward to your favorable reply.

Best wishes,
Ruth Xu
For Qingdao General Textiles Co., Ltd

5. An E-mail
From:
To:
Date: Mar 11, 2023

Dear Ruth:

I accept your proposal of delivery. But don’t you think it’s time now to change the terms of payment? I have been paying you by L/C at sight, which is very costly to me. Now that we have been doing business for quite a while, I think it’s time that you consider some better terms of payment. I’d propose payment in two installments, 30% by T/T before shipment, and 70% by D/P 30 days after sight. What do you say?

Bob Klein
ALICE HOME FASHIONS

6. An E-mail
From:
To:
Date: Mar 12, 2023

Dear Bob,

While I agree to the idea for a change in payment terms, the one you proposed is too dramatic. I would propose that you pay 30% of the contract value by T/T before shipment, and the balance by D/P SIGHT after you take delivery of the goods.
I hope this could be acceptable.

Best wishes,
Ruth Xu
For Qingdao General Textiles Co., Ltd

7. An E-mail

To:
Date: Mar 15, 2023

Dear Ruth:
Your terms of payment are acceptable. Please send your sales contract/confirmation as soon as possible.
I’m glad to have concluded the deal and please arrange production as soon as you can.
