ABC company, Paul & LeGrand

ABC, one of the biggest suppliers of leather soled shoes, has been operating in China, our biggest market, for 15 years.
Abacon, our main competitor, lost 3% of market share. Since the sports shoe market is a growing area of sales, it has been diversifying its product range to gain in the sports shoe market.
In order to secure a competitive market share, we also need to gain a foothold in this market. Therefore, new products including durable shoe, waterproof shoe and sports shoe are now explored.
We found that the increase of 5% in sales in February was because of our new marketing campaign in January 2004. Therefore, we have spent a lot on R&D over the last year and a half to promote new products being launched next January.

Dear Paul

We are writing to place an order of 6 suits according to your standard fabrics and colours. Would you please arrange to deliver 2 suits to each warehouse in Paris, Lyon and Marseille within 3 days? Total 510 pounds will be paid 60 days after delivery.

Please be reminded that both of our names should be labelled in the suits. Moreover, we will return the unsold suits within six months of the order date in good condition, and please arrange refunds by bank transfer within 30 days of return.

I am looking forward to hearing your reply.
