Dear Sir,


Model Answer: 

Dear Sir,

Hope you are fine and doing well with your electrical shop in Kowloon, Hong Kong. I have recently opened an office in the same city, and need some specific electrical goods for my office. Your store was recommended by a friend lately.

I have started a consultancy firm here in Hong Kong, and the preparation to decorate the office is still underway. Once the preparatory tasks are done, I will be in need of bulbs including LED lights, tube lights, switchboards, few circuit breakers, and ceiling fans. I also will need some AC power plugs and sockets.

Please inform me if you have the products at your shop I need, or you can order them for me. And also mention about the prices for each unit in local currencies. I would also like to know if you can hold the goods for me for about two weeks as I will need the products exactly after two weeks. I hope you would be able to offer quality products at a better price.  

Wishing to hear from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Chow Yuen
