Dear Sirs

We acknowledge receipt of your enquiry of August 8. Please, accept our apologies for the delay in sending a reply to your letter as we were so overloaded with orders from most of our regular customers that we failed to keep pace with the demand.

Now we face a problem of overstocking as two weeks ago we were suddenly flooded with urgent last-minute orders. We must ask you, therefore, to give the enclosed special price-list your immediate attention. To encourage all customers to lay in a good stock we are prepared to offer a trade discount of 4 per cent. All orders over $500 received before 1st September are subject to the discount in question.

Faithfully yours
