Dear,
Thank you for your offer of 20th November for 10, 000 sets of photocopier.
We regret being unable to make use of goods as the price you ask is above the market level here for the quality in question.
The copiers supplies here covering the same brand are not of the quality we have expected for the price quoted.
Yours sincerely,
