have also received the cow split leather and work glove samples (样品) you sent
us. We are glad to inform you that your order for the work gloves has been put
to work. As we can’t see which one is Item p79252 and which one is Item SUR 100,
please give us an explanation as soon as possible. We have
pleasure in informing you that we have given the above mentioned cow split
leather and your samples to our factory for producing sample products. When we
get any further news, we will contact you right away. We thank
you very much for this first order, and hope that this transaction(交易) will be
the beginning of a long and friendly connection with your firm.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours truly,
Peter Anderson Why did Peter ask for an explanation about the two items mentioned
