Dear Sirs,
Your letter of March 3 addressed to our Dalian Branch Office has been passed on to us for attention and reply, as the captioned goods come within the range of our business activities.
We regret to inform you, however, that this particular line has already been agent for ABC Company, 81 Broad Street, Los Angeles, USA. Therefore, we are not in a position to offer you but would rather recommend that you approach them for your requirements directly. Should any other items be of interest to you, please let us know and we shall be pleased to make you offers.
B/R,
Helen (‘S)
