Sample 3　The importer wants to set up relations with a manufacturer

Dear Sirs,

On the recommendation of our sister corporation L&D Co., Ltd, we have learned that you are a manufacturer of cotton garments. Now we are particularly interested in importing your women’s blouses and sweaters since they are very popular in our markets.

If the price you offer is workable and the goods come up to our expectation, we can place large orders with you regularly. With this in mind, it would be grateful if you could furnish us with some illustrated catalogues and samples.

As to our credit standing, please refer to the Bank of Swiss.

Best Regards,

John Stevens

Yotho Limited.
