Dear Sirs,
This is to confirm your telex of 16 January, 2009 , asking us to make you firm offers for rice and soybeans CIF Singapore.
We telexed you this morning offering you 300 metric tons of polished rice at $2400 per metric ton, G&F Singapore , for shipment during March/April 2009. This offer is firm, subject to the receipt of your reply before 10 February 2009.
Please note that we have quoted our most favourable price and are unable to entertain any counter offer.
With regard to soybeans, we advise you that the few lots we have at present are under offer elsewhere. If, however, you were to make us a suitable offer, there is a possibility of our supplying them. As you know, of late, it has been a heavy demand for these commodities and this has resulted in increased prices. You may, however, take advantage of the strengthening market if you send an immediate reply.

SECRET SHOPPERS
Tim Wright knows all about making companies more efficient. His firm, Check-up, sends 'secret shoppers' into retail and leisure companies (29) order to make sure that customers are receiving good service. After (30) visit, the secret shoppers prepare a report for the company to let them know (31) good or bad the service was.
Companies like to know,' says Mr Wright,' that (32) customers go into a store just a few minutes before closing time, they will (33) get good service.' Check-up (34) set up in the west of England in 1992 and (35) two years moved to London so it could offer a nationwide service. (36) the last three years, Check-up's profits have (37) dramatically as companies have come to realise (38) great importance of good customer service. Having started with just three employees, Check-up now has a staff (39) sixty-five and last week (40) an important new contract with a major supermarket chain.

A: I've come about your offer for bristles.
B: We have the offer ready for you. Let me see... Here it is. 100 cases of Tsingtao Bristles, 57mm, at... pounds sterling per kilogram, CIF European Main Ports, for shipment in June, 2009. The offer is valid for three days.
A: Why, your price has soared.It's almost 25 % higher than last year's. It would be impossible for us to push any sales at such a price.
B: I'm a little surprised to hear you say that. You know very well that market for bristles has gone up a great deal in recent months. The price we offer compares favourably with quotations you can get elsewhere.
A: I'm afraid I can't agree with you there. I must point out that your price is higher than some of the quotations we have received from other sources.
B: But you must take the quality into consideration. Everyone in the trade knows that China's bristles are of superior quality to those from other countries.
A: I agree that yours are of better quality. But there's competition from synthetic products, too. You can't ignore that prices for synthetic bristles haven't changed much over the years.
B: There's practically no substitute for bristles for certain uses. That's why demand for natural bristles keeps rising in spite of cheaper synthetic ones. To be frank with you, if it were not for the long-standing relationship between us, we would hardly be willing to make you a firm offer at this price.
A: Well, we'll have a lot of difficulties in persuading our clients to buy at this price. But I'll have to try, I suppose.
