A Specimen Letter
Dear Sir,
You letter of 15th August addressed to our Head Office has been passed on to us for attention and reply.
We now take pleasure in advising you that the price of Brown Crystal Sugar is at USA per metric ton F.O.B. Of course we also quote C.F.R. or C.I.F. prices if buyers so desire. The price terms to be employed depend much on the characteristics of the goods as well as their specific transport requirement and shall always serve the best interest of buyers and sellers alike.
