上一篇提到了报价和询价，今天要来整理下还盘和接受的邮件。

回复还盘的邮件写作常见的表达有：

3.对所希望的交易条件提出建议
May we suggest that you could perhaps make some allowance on your quoted prices that would help to introduce your goods on this matket .我们建议，如果贵方在所报价格的基础上给予优惠，也许会有助于贵方产品的市场推介。
I regret that your terms are unsatisfactory and unless you can amend those terms we shall have to place our order elsewhere.很抱歉，贵方的条件不能让人满意，如果不能改变条件的话，我方只好另转订单。
4.希望对方能够接受你所提出的建议

Dear xxx:
I am sorry to learn from your letter of 5th Oct that you find our price too hight.
We do our best to keep prices as low as possible without sacrificing quality and are constantly enquiring into new methods of manufacture .
Considering the quality of the goods offered ,we don't feel that the prices we quote are at all excessive,but bearing in mind the special character of your trade ,we have decided to offer you a special discount of 1.5% on a first order.
We make this allowance because we should like to do business with you if possible,but I must stress that it 's the furthest we can go to help you.
At least I hope this revised offer will now enable you to place an order .
Sincerely yours,
xxx
