Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding our furniture products. We appreciate your interest in our offerings and value the business relationship we have built over the years.
We understand that you have requested a 10% reduction in our current quotation. While we strive to accommodate our clients' needs, we must also ensure that our prices reflect the high quality of our goods and the recent rise in raw material costs. These factors have significantly impacted our production expenses.
Considering our long-standing partnership, we are willing to offer a 3% reduction on our current quotation. This adjustment reflects our commitment to maintaining a mutually beneficial relationship. Additionally, we propose a payment structure where 1/4 of the total amount is paid as a down payment, with the remaining balance to be settled upon delivery.
We believe this proposal will help mitigate some of the financial pressures while ensuring that you receive the superior quality products you expect from us. We look forward to your positive response and to continuing our successful collaboration.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
Sales Representative
