With reference to our Sales Confirmation No.7904 dated August 8th, 2000, we regret to say that your letter of credit has not yet reached us up to the time of writing. This has caused us much inconvenience as we have already made preparations for shipment according to the stipulations of the said Sales Confirmation.

You must be aware that the terms and conditions of a contract once signed should be strictly observed, failure to abide by them will mean violation of contract. If you refer to our Sales Confirmation, you will see the clause reading:

“The Buyer shall establish the covering letter of credit before 30th August, 2000, failing which the Seller reserves the right to rescind the contract without further notice.”

The goods you ordered have been ready for quite some time and the demand of late has been so great that we find it hard to keep them for you any longer. However, in consideration of our friendly business relations, we are prepared to wait for your L/C, which must reach us not later than October 5

th, 2000. If we again fail to receive your L/C in time, we shall cancel our Sales Confirmation and ask you to refund to us the storage charges we have paid on your behalf.

Your co0operation in this respect will be appreciated.

    For the past five years we have been selling your Electronic Lighters to wholesalers and large dealers in all parts of Pakistan and our clients are very much satisfied with your products. The styles and colours are very much to the taste of our market. We have built up a considerable number of well-established connections with excellent business results.

As we understand that you have no agent in Pakistan, we would like to offer our services.

For your reference, we would propose a sole agency agreement for a duration of three years with annual turnover of 50,000, 60,000 and 70,000 pieces for the first, second and third year respectively. On all sales, we are entitled to receive a commission of 15%. During the validity of the agency agreement, we shall not handle any other foreign products of the same line and competitive types. The area to be covered by the agency agreement is confined to Pakistan.

If you agree to grant us the sole agency we will devote full attention to the development of your products on the Pakistan market and will go into the matter further.

We look forward to receiving your favourable reply.

Thank you for your letter of the 31st October in connection with sole agency.

In reply, we wish to state that we appreciate your efforts in pushing the sales of our Electronic Lighters in Pakistan and we are satisfied with your work in the past. However, after serious consideration, we do not think conditions are ripe to entrust you with the agency at the present stage as the sales volume mentioned in your letter under reply is too small for us to grant you the agency. To tell you frankly, the average annual quantity we sold to your country in the past few years is larger than what you mentioned.

In spite of this, please do not misinterpret our above remark, which in no way implies dissatisfaction. If a bigger turnover can be realized to justify establishing the agency we would like you to represent us.

We hope you will agree with on this point and continue placing orders with us as you have done so far.

虽然这样，请不要误解我们上面所说的，我们的话绝没有暗示有不满意。（3）假如贵方能够达到更大数量的销售额以证明有能力担任我方代理，则我们会十分愿意将代理权授予贵方。（3）
