if you can see your way clear to meeting these figures we would be pleased to place with you an order that will carry us for the rest of this year. that order is likely to be one of the largest that we have ever placed with you.
sincerely,

亲爱的先生：
你知道，我们对你的产品一致都很满意。 但发现，在当地一家公司可以得到每一百个价格为4美元的这种产品，比你们每一百个的价格少50美分。如果你们能设法找出原因并使价格也达到这样的标准，我们就乐意向你们提出一项可以执行到本年底的订货。而且该项订货就可能是我们从来也没有向你们提出过的最大订货之一。
你真诚的，

你真诚的，
