SA 7 Rue des Pins Grasse
France
Dear Sirs,
Thank you for your impressive sales presentation on 4
May. It was very informative and you answered all our questions most
professionally.
We have discussed your proposals very thoroughly. Unfortunately,
after considering our financial situation, we have decided not to proceed at
this time.
Over the next few months, we will be slimming down
our operations to compensate for the downturn in trade. When the economy
picks up, however, we shall certainly be interested in talking to you again.
In any event, please contact us in six months' time,
when we might be interested in taking matters further.
Thank you for your time and effort.
Yours faithfully,
|
