五、写作
1. 略。 2. Dear Sirs,
We learned from your letter of May 21 that you are interested in our stationery but find our quotation of April 30 too high to conclude.
We would inform you that our price has been accepted by other buyers in your city, at which substantial business has been done and that inquires have kept flooding in over the past few month. Such being the case, we cannot cut our price. As a matter of fact, it is only in view of our long-standing trade relations that we offered you such a favorable price.
We hope you will reconsider it and fax us as soon as you can. Yours truly
