先生：

　　十二月二十日来函收到，获悉您放有意在贵国推销我们的自行车。对此，我们非常干兴趣。

　　对您方为推销我方的自行车所作的努力我们深为感激。但对您方的要求以见票后六十天承兑交单方式付款一事，我们谦难考虑。我们的通常做法是要求即期信用证付款。

　　为了促进我方自行车在贵方市场上的销售，我方准备接受即期付款交单方式，以示特别照顾。

　　希望您能接受上述付款条件并盼早日收到回音。

Dear Sirs,

　　“Golden Deer” Brand Bicycle

　　We have received your letter of December 20 and noted with interest your intention of pushing the sale of our bicycle in your country.

　　Although we are much appreciative of your efforts to help sell our bicycles, we regret being unable to consider your request for payment by D/A 60days’ sight. Our usual practices is to ask for sight L/C.

　　However, in order to facilitate developing the sale of our bicycles in your market, we are prepared to accept payment by D/P at sight as a special accommodation.

　　We hope that the above payment terms will be acceptable to you and look forward to the pleasure of hearing from you soon.

　　Your faithfully,
