Thank you for your letter of 1 September suggesting that we grant you a sole agency for our household linens. 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 you company to see how the arrangement works. It would be necessary for you to test the market for our products at you 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.

9月1日有關(guān)建議擔(dān)任家用亞麻制品獨(dú)家代理的來信收悉。謹(jǐn)致衷心謝意。目前時(shí)機(jī)尚未成熟，不能應(yīng)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(chǔ)。為證明擔(dān)任獨(dú)家代理的能力，貴公司宜上述貨品作市場(chǎng)調(diào)查，研究是否可擴(kuò)大現(xiàn)有之營(yíng)業(yè)額。奉上該貨品之報(bào)價(jià)單，敬希查照。專此候復(fù)。 此致 敬禮
