Dear Sirs,
This is to confirm your fax of 16 January 2012, asking us to make you offers for rice and soybeans CIF Singapore.
We faxed you this morning offering you 300 metric tons of polished rice at A$2400 per metric ton , C&F Singapore, for shipment during March/April 2012. This offer is firm, subject to the receipt of you reply before 10 February 2012.
Please note that we have quoted our most favorable price and are unable to entertain any counteroffer.
With regard to soybeans, we advice you that the few lots we have at present are under offer elsewhere. If, however, you were to make us a suitable offer, there is a possibility of our supplying them. As you know, of late, it has been a heavy demand for these commodities and this has resulted in increased prices You may, however take advantages of the strengthening market if you send an immediate reply.
敬啟者:
此函意在确認貴公司在 2012年1月16日 要求我公司提供大米和大豆新加坡到岸價格的傳真。
我公司今早已傳真給貴公司精白米300公噸以每公噸2400澳元的新加坡到岸價,貨物會在2012年3到4月期間裝運。此報盤為實盤, 以在 2012年2月10日 之前收到回複為準。
請注意,我方已報出最優價格,無法接受任何還價。
大豆方面,我公司提醒您,我們有一批貨目前正向别處報盤。但是,如果貴公司給我公司一個合适的報價,我公司有可能向貴公司提供。正如貴公司所知道的,最近市場對這些商品的大量需求導緻了價格上漲。但是如果貴公司即時回複,将能利用市場優勢大賺一把。

Dear Sirs,
We have carefully studied your letter of Dec.14. As our two firms have done business with each other for many years, we should like to grant your request to lower the price of our underwear. But there are difficulties. Our cost of raw materials have risen sharply in the past three months and to reduce the prices by 5% you mentioned could not be done without considerably lowering our standards of quality. This is something we are not prepared to do. Instead of 5% reduction on underwear, we suggest a reduction of 3% on all lines. On orders of this size we could manage to make the reduction without lowering our standards.
We hope you will agree to our counter-suggestion and we look forward to receiving orders from you as in the past.
Yours truly,
敬啟者:
我公司已仔細研究你 12月14日 的來信。鑒于貴我兩家公司業務往來多年,我公司本應應貴公司要求降低内衣價格,奈何在過去的3個月内,原材料成本大幅上升,若按貴公司降低價格的5%的要求,我公司不得不降低質量标準。這是我們不願意做的事情。與其降低5%的内衣價格,我們建議所有産品都減少了3%的售價。在這種規模的訂單下,我公司可以做到物美價廉。
我們希望您能同意我們的建議,我們期待着一如既往地收到你的訂單。
順緻敬意
1.CIF與CFR在很多書與網站都翻譯成到岸價,客戶是怎麼分得清哪個是哪個?
2.中文格式多采取縮進式
3.信末的“Faithfully yours”“Yours faithfully”“Truly yours”“Yours sincerely”“Sincerely yours”除了能翻譯成“敬上”“謹上”以外,還可翻譯成“順緻敬意”
4.sirs記得用複數
5.多看點currency code
有話要說...
