Dear Sirs,

Your Draft Contract has reached us duly and we can now make comments on some of the clauses.

While most of the clauses are acceptable the total cost of the equipment seems unreasonably high. We think that we have to look again at the prices which are quoted by the world leading firms in this field.

Will you therefore meet our representative in Moscow to dis­cuss your itemized and group prices. This would help us to reach mutual agreement.

We expect to hear from you soon!

Yours faithfully,

2.

Dear Sirs,

With reference to your re­quest to speed up issuing entry visas for your engineers we wish to inform you that proper action was taken a week ago and we hope the visas will come through very soon.

Meanwhile will you let us have your comments on our ideas about the new reimbursement

Уважаемые господа!

Мы получили Ваш проект контракта и можем сделать за­ключение по ряду статей.

Основные статьи контракта приемлемы (для нас), однако, об­щая стоимость оборудования оче­видно завышена. Мы полагаем, что необходимо еще раз рассмот­реть цены ведущих фирм мира, занятых в указанной сфере.

Просим встретить нашего представителя в Москве для об­суждения ваших позиционных и групповых цен. Это поможет, нам достичь взаимного согла-j шения.
