General Enquiry

Specimen 1A General Enquiry from an Importer

Dear Sirs,

Re: 100% Cotton T-shirts

We learn from your advertisement in China Trade Directory that you are producing 100% cotton T-shirts for export. We are quite interested in your products.

 

Would you please send us as soon as possible your illustrated catalogue and the latest price list, together with any samples that you can let us have?

 

We are given to understand that you are able to supply large quantities at attractive prices. For your information, there is a steady demand here for 100% cotton T-shirts of high quality. Sales are not particularly high, but good prices can be obtained for fashionable designs.

 

We are looking forward to receiving your immediate reply.

 

Yours truly,

G.P. Johnson

Manager
