  感謝你6月15日的來函和樣品。
特告知,我方客戶對你樣品的試用結果非常滿意,但現在仍有些猶豫。
經與同類貨物作仔細比較,我們發現你方報價有點高。當前的洗髮精(shampoo)市場充斥著各種各樣的品牌,象rejoice,pond`s等優質產品很容易買到。而且這些品牌都已得到我地市場的認可。就洗髮精而言,很多消費者不願接受新產品。你方產品作為新品牌,最大的賣點將是它的護髮功能,質量上雖然已達到客戶要求,但要想在我地市場打開銷路,必須還要具備價格優勢,否則是很難與一些老牌產品競爭的。
  鑒於此,我方客戶建議將原報價減10%。請考慮並作及時答覆。

dear sirs;
thank you for your letter and samples sent on june 15. we`re glad to inform you that our customers are very
satisfied with the test result of your samples. but they are still hesitating at the moment.
after careful comparison with similar goods. we find your quotation on the high side. the current shampoo market
is swollen up with various brands. and quality brands such as rejoice and pond`s are easily available. these brands
have already gained recognition of the local market. in terms of shampoo. many consumers are reluctant to accept new
products. as a new brand. the biggest selling point of your product will be its hair care funtion. although its quality has already measured up to our customers` requirements. it still needs price advantage in order to open up a
market here. otherwise it can hardly compete against the established brands.
  in view of this.our customers request you to reduce your original price by 10%. please consider this and give us
a prompt reply.
  yours faithfully
