We are placing this order based on the quotation
sent by your centre. We are assured that all the items would be of best quality
and in perfect condition. We hope that packaging cost is included in the price
mentioned. In case of damage during delivery it would be borne by you.
Needless to say, 15% discount would be given as
specified in your quotation letter. Payment will be made by cash on delivery. I
would like to make a special mention that the items should reach by 20 May
2018.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully
