Dear sirs,
We thank you for your enquiry of 30th
November and enclose our quotation
for curtain materials.
We have made a good selection of
patterns and sent them to you today by
post. Their fine quality, attractive
designs and the reasonable prices
at which we offer them will convince you
that these materials are really of good
value. There is a heavy demand for our
goods from house furnishers in various
districts and regions, which we are
finding it difficult to meet , but provided
that we receive your order within the next
ten days, we will give priority to it for
prompt delivery.

Your early reply will be appreciated.

Yours faithfully
