offer in reply.
     The offer usually quotes the price and stipulates terms of delivery, terms of
payment, time of delivery and some other necessary details.

     Here is a specimen reply-offer:

Mr. J. Allen                                               16 May 19…

Dear Mr. Allen,
Thank you for your enquiry of 12 May in which you asked about the tapes we
advertised in this month’s edition of Hi Fi News.
The cassettes are ferrous based and high quality chromium dioxide which as you
know means they would be suitable for any type of recording. They are Kolby
products which is brand name you will certainly recognize. Our prices are low
and quite competitive as we are working on a small profit margin, therefore we
will not be offering any trade discounts on this consignment.
But we sell a wide range of cassettes and we enclose a pricelist giving you de-
tails of trade, quantity, and cash discounts on our other products.
