Sample 5 Counter-offer to the above

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for your offer of May 4 for the “Silik” brand basketballs.

We have persuaded our customers to accept your prices although they seem still high in this market. As our customers urgently need the goods, they require shipment not later than the end of this month. Otherwise, they will buy elsewhere. We think it would be to your interest to consider this unharsh condition. Other terms and conditions are the same as before.

We should be grateful if you could treat this as urgent and arrange prompt shipment.

Your immediate response will be highly appreciated.

Yours faithfully,

Notes:

1. unharsh condition: 不苛刻的条件

2. terms and conditions: 条款和条件
