Dear Sirs:
Thank you for your letter of 20 May suggesting that we grant you a sole agency for our household lines.
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 your company to see how the arrangement works.
It would be necessary for you to test the market for our products at your 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.
Yours sincerely,
Tony Smith
Chief Seller
Enc.

五月二十日有关建议担任家用亚麻制品独家代理的来信收妥，谨致衷心谢意。
目前时机尚未成熟，不能应允该安排，深感抱歉。
然而，本公司乐意与贵公司先试行合作，为今后合作打下基础。
为证明担任独家代理的能力，贵公司宜就上述货品作市场调查，研究是否可扩大现有营业额。
随函奉上该货品报价单，敬希查照。专此候覆。
