Seeking a Cooperation
Dear Mr. Lee,
I have just been informed that our mutual friend, Mr. Johnson, the boss of the Chinese Food Restaurant has decided to retire from business and sell out. He asks a price of $10 000 for the whole establishment, including furniture and various modem installations (装置，设备).
I am interested in the offer and I’d like to take over the business. As I understand you are interested in the restaurant business, I hasten to inform you of the matter. I think the price of the $10 000 is not high, for the furniture alone is worth $1 000, while the modern installations including a new refrigerator purchased in the United States are valued at $5 000. Besides, the restaurant has been doing a booming business in spite of the general depression. The goodwill of the establishment therefore is worth several thousand dollars.
I intend to invest $5 000 in the business as I am short of money, and I should feel very glad if you are care to invest a similar amount, I believe we can get along as partners wonder fully well.
I do hope you’ll give me a prompt reply.
Yours sincerely,
William Black
