Dear Mr. Smith,
We are pleased to inform. you of our Medical Supplies Company’s 10th Anniversary. The ceremony begins at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, 18 May 2005 and a cocktail party and buffet will be held at Westin hotel at 12:00 at noon. We have pleasure in inviting you to attend.
Yours sincerely,

Situation: You are the assistant of the general manager Mr. John Smith of Pacific Telecommunications. Mr. Smith received the invitation letter above, now you are asked to write a response of accepting the invitation for him.
A: I've come about your offer for bristles.
B: We have the offer ready for you. Let me see... Here it is. 100 cases of Tsingtao Bristles, 57mm, at... pounds sterling per kilogram, CIF European Main Ports, for shipment in June, 2009. The offer is valid for three days.
A: Why, your price has soared.It's almost 25 % higher than last year's. It would be impossible for us to push any sales at such a price.
B: I'm a little surprised to hear you say that. You know very well that market for bristles has gone up a great deal in recent months. The price we offer compares favourably with quotations you can get elsewhere.
A: I'm afraid I can't agree with you there. I must point out that your price is higher than some of the quotations we have received from other sources.
B: But you must take the quality into consideration. Everyone in the trade knows that China's bristles are of superior quality to those from other countries.
A: I agree that yours are of better quality. But there's competition from synthetic products, too. You can't ignore that prices for synthetic bristles haven't changed much over the years.
B: There's practically no substitute for bristles for certain uses. That's why demand for natural bristles keeps rising in spite of cheaper synthetic ones. To be frank with you, if it were not for the long-standing relationship between us, we would hardly be willing to make you a firm offer at this price.
A: Well, we'll have a lot of difficulties in persuading our clients to buy at this price. But I'll have to try, I suppose.
B: Sure.We are inviting tender for the construction of a thermal power plant.We already got more than ten tenders from various countries.
A: We learnt that this project is very competitive.When do you start to the bid?
B: The end before this month.Tenders received after the deadline will not be considered.If you are interested in this tender, you can have a set of tender documents and get the details of the requirements.
A: What should we prepare if we would like to take part in the bid?
B: First, you're required to get the bid documents against payment RMB 500 yuan.The document should be designated department with in designated time.
A: Shall we pay tender bond?
B: Yes.If you fail to furnish a tender bond before the opening of the tender, your tender will not be considered.And detailed engineering of the works, technical specifications and other tender documents should precede the invitation to tender for the contract.
A: I see.
B: It's well known that your company has great experience in this field.We hope you will consider this tender invitation carefully.
A: I think we will.
