Dear Sirs:

Thank you for your quotation for Men’s Shirts and the samples sent us on May 6.

We have approached a number of our customers in this area and many of them take an interest in "Swan" brand shirts. We, therefore, ask you to make us your best offer on C& F Rangoon basis for 5,000 Men’s Shirts (No. G-3). We believe we may secure some orders for you.

We, however, would like to point out that unless your quotation is attractive to the buyers, it would be difficult to push the sale of your shirts successfully. We shall appreciate your offer in the form of a proforma invoice.

Yours faithfully
