　Thank you for your letter of 1 September suggesting that we grant you a sole agency for our household linens.

　9月1日有關建議擔任家用亞麻制品獨家代理的來信收悉。謹致衷心謝意。

　I regret to say that, at this stage ,such an arrangement would berather premature. We would, however, be willing to engage in a trial collaboration with you company to see how the arrangement works.

　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。

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

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

　We enclose price lists covering all the products you are interested in and look forward to hearing from you soon. 奉上該貨品之報價單，敬希查照。專此候復。
