Re:Confirmation of order#pages1



Dear Mr. Tanaka,

Thank you for your fax of October 19th - Ref. 409 / NDP confirming your order for 60,000 sheets of polymer C249. I am happy to confirm that the shipment will arrive by October 30th. The price will be ¥170,000,000 including shipping. I am afraid that we are unable to reduce the cost further.
In your fax you said that you might be interested in our other products. I now intend to be in Tokyo for six days from November 9th and hope to visit you in Osaka on November 11th. I would appreciate it if you could fax me with the following details;
• Your schedule for November
• Your polymer requirements.
I look forward to hearing from you and hope to finally meet next month.
Yours sicerely,

G Singh
Sales Division
