感谢你们6月26日的报盘以及寄来的餐具样品。
尽管我们很欣赏这些餐具的优良品质，但我们遗憾地说，你们的价格似乎太高。如果接受你们的报价将使我们在销售中无利可图，因为其他供应商对同样品质的商品出价更低。
因此，我们建议你方将价格减至25美元/套，否则无法成交。 我们期待着你们的确认。 Dear Sirs:
Thank you for your offer of June 26th and the enclosed tableware samples . Although we really appreciate the high quality of the tableware, we regret to say that your price seems uncompetitive at all.
To accept the price you quote would leave us little profit on our sales, since other suppliers offer lower prices for products of the same quality.
Therefore, we suggest that you reduce your price to $ 25 per set, or business is impossible.
We are looking forward to your confirmation.
