X. Read these letters and do the assignments given below each of them.

1. April 28, 20...

Dear Sirs,

We have received your letter of March 10, 20... with a proposal to em­ploy the agency firm L. Peterson Ltd as mediator for the consortium in con­structing the project for the Customer.

While appreciating your efforts to organize the work of our consortium in the best possible way we have to tell you that over some years we have been doing business in the country and have been represented by Holzmann International who have been handling our business very well.

So we do not think it reasonable to change the agency company when we feel entirely satisfied with its activities.

Furthermore, the commission which you write the agent is going to charge is more than we are prepared to pay. We are afraid that other mem­bers of our consortium may be in a similar position.

Under the circumstances we suggest that each member should have an agent who will be invited to participate at the consortium meetings.

There is every hope to believe that this arrangement will be of value to the consortium and that the agency firms will benefit us with their wide experience and information.

We should be obliged if you would include the question in the agenda of the meeting of the consortium members to be held in June, so that the mem­bers could exchange opinions on the matter.

Yours faithfully, mediator л посредник
