REQUEST
Kyiv, 8th June, 20...
Dear Sirs,
During the visit of your representative Mr. A. B. Smith to Kyiv in April last we handed him our enquiry for a Steam Turbine Plant of 5,000 kW capacity.
Mr. Smith assured us that your company had a wide experience in designing and manufacturing turbines of the type required by us and that you, therefore, could offer us a plant with better working characteristics as compared with those of turbines produced by other makers and, of course, at a quite competitive price.
We have now received your tender of the 28th May and regret to state that after its careful examination we have come to the conclusion that the turbine plant offered by you does not reflect the latest achievements in turbine building. Its efficiency is low, and some other important characteristics are inferior to those of other turbines offered us. An English translation of our experts`.
Report on the matter is enclosed herewith.
As to the price quoted by you, we think that a mistake has probably occurred in your calculation as your price is very high. In the circumstances you will realize that your chances to secure this order are very slight.
Taking, however, into consideration the conversation we had on the telephone with Mr.Smith who informed us that your company was very much interested in the supply of this equipment, we suggest that you should revise your offer and send us as soon as possible, but by the 5th July at the latest, a new tender for a turbine conforming in all respects to the latest achievements in turbine building. The price of the turbine must certainly be much lower than that stated in your tender of the 28th of May.
We should be obliged if you would let us know immediately whether you agree to revise your offer as stated above.
Yours faithfully,
