Dear Sirs:
Thank you for your letter of 20 May suggesting that we grant you a sole agency for our household lines.

I regret to say that, at this stage, such an arrangement would be rather premature.

We would, however, be willing to engage in a trial collaboration with your company to see how the arrangement works.

It would be necessary for you to test the market for our products at your end. You would also have to build up a much larger turnover to justify a sole agency.

We enclose price lists covering all the products you are interested in and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Tony Smith
Chief Seller

Enc.

----先生：

五月二十日有關建議擔任家用亞麻制品獨家代理的來信收妥，謹致衷心謝意。

目前時機尚未成熟，不能應允該安排，深感抱歉。

然而，本公司樂意與貴公司先試行合作，為今后合作打下基礎。

為證明擔任獨家代理的能力，貴公司宜就上述貨品作市場調查，研究是否可擴大現有營業額。

隨函奉上該貨品報價單，敬希查照。專此候覆。
