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
(Signed)
