Dear Mrs. Mangala,
I am interested in information regarding your company's new line of jewelry. I have
seen the samples on your web site, and I am interested in the possibility of importing your
jewelry into Australia. I think it would sell very well here, especially among the younger
women who make up the majority of my company's clientele.
I will be making a trip to Malaysia, India, and Sri Lanka next summer. I would like to
arrange to meet with you then to discuss setting up a business relationship. Please let me
know when you will be available for a meeting. In the meantime, I would appreciate your
sending a list of your wholesale prices and information about ordering and shipping.
My associates in London have been very pleased with the quality of the gems you have
sent them, and they have had a great deal of success with them. I look forward to doing
business with you in the near future.
Sincerely,

could meet during lunch.
