Thank you for your letter of October 10 for business copiers. We are now sending you our price-list and catalog of the newest types that are under production and we can supply at once from stock.

　We want to notice you that prices of copier parts and components have gone up steadily since the second half of the year. Though we have tried hard to keep our quotations down, we are afraid the margin for keeping on going like this will not long. Therefore, we suggest that you will let us have your order before further rises in costs, which will lead to a raise in prices very soon unavoidably.

　感謝貴方10月10日關于商用復印機的詢函。現隨函奉送本公司正在生產的、并有現貨供應的最新型號的產品清單和價目表。

　我方想告訴貴方，自下半年以來，復印機的零、部件價格一直不斷增長。盡管我方盡量壓低報價，但恐怕有此余地的時間不會太久。因此，建議貴方在零、部件再次漲價，并不可避免地引起成品漲價之前便向我方訂貨。
