Unfortunately we have to raise our price for item 5 by 15 % because of the increased cost of raw materials.

Our legislation has been changed in an unfavourable way so we must withdraw the order.

Based on our extensive research into this matter we believe the responsibility for the shortage does, in fact, lie with you.

It is reported that your competitors Robertson & Sons are discount­ing 22 % of their list price, with immediate delivery, so we hope that you can offer us better price.

We think that in the first year we cannot guarantee the minimum sale of goods for the above sum.

Dear Sirs,
Account No. 638/Hrs/0078/Invoice No. 05124
I regret to inform you that the above invoice contains a mistake. It is almost certainly the case that the figure in the invoice for the total has been multiplied by a hundred. In view of our long­standing dealings with your company, I am convinced that you do not expect me to pay $ 98,000 for the last delivery of switch­es and electrical components.
I would very much appreciate receiving a more reasonable invoice. Otherwise we plan to withdraw our next order with
your company.
	Yours faithfully,
	fattC 'Sl^CV-tt

11. Прочитайте и переведите на родной язык следующий
текст. Скажите, какое из правил Вам труднее всего соблюдать и
почему?

Complaining about faulty goods or bad service is never easy. Most people dislike making a fuss. However, when you are shopping, it is important to know your rights.

There are four golden rules:

a) Examine the goods you buy at once. If they are faulty, tell the seller quickly.

b) Keep any receipts you are given. If you have to return some­thing, the receipt will help to prove where and when you bought it.

c^ Don't be afraid to complain. You are not asking a favour to have faulty goods put right. The law is on your side.

d) Be persistent (but not aggressive). If your complaint is justified, it is somebody's responsibility to put things right.
