15.說明價格調整原因

　I enclose our new price list , which will come into effect ,from the end of this month. You will see that we have increased our prices on most models. We have ,however , refrained from doing so on some models of which we hold large stocks. We feel we should explain why we have increased our prices. We are paying 10% more for our raw materials than we were paying last year. Some of our subcontractors have raised their by as much as 15%. As you know , we take great pride in our machines and are jealous of the reputation for quality and dependability which we have achieved over the last 40 years. We will not compromise that reputation because of rising costs. We hope, therefore decided to raise the price of some of our machines. We hope you will understand our position and look forward to your orders.

　現謹附上本公司新價格表，新價格將于本月底生效。除了存貨充裕的商品外，其余大部分貨品均已調升價格。是次調整原因是原材料價格升幅上漲10%□，一些承包商的價格調升到15%。 過去40年，本公司生產的機器品質優良、性能可靠。今為確保產品質量，唯有稍為調整價格。上述情況，還望考慮。愿能與貴公司保持緊密合作。
