Sample Letter of Agents services

Dear Sir/Madam   We recently attended the International Photographic Exhibition in Cairo and were impressed by the high quality, attractive design and reasonable prices of your cameras. Having since seen your full catalogue, we are convinced that there is a promising market for your products here in Jordan.

If you are not already represented here we should be interested in acting as your sole agents. As leading importers and distributors of more than 20 years’ standing in the photographic trade, we have a good knowledge of the Jordanian market. Through our sales organization we have good contacts with the leading retailers. We handle several other agencies in non-competing lines and if our proposal interests you we can supply first-class references from manufacturers in Britain. We firmly believe that an agency for marketing your products in Jordan would be of considerable benefit to both of us and we look forward to learning that you are interested in our proposal. Mr Semir Haddad, our Purchasing Director, will be in England during May and will be pleased to call on you if we hear from you positively.   Yours faithfully

Answer of the manufacturer:

Dear Mr. Jamal   Thank you for your letter of 18 March and for your comments on our cameras. We are still a young company but are expanding rapidly. At present our overseas representation is confined to countries in Western Europe where our cameras are selling well. However we are interested in the chance of developing our trade further a field.   When your Mr. Semir Haddad is in England we should certainly like to meet him to discuss your proposal further. If Mr. Haddad will get in touch with me to arrange a meeting, I can also arrange for him to look around our factory and see for himself the quality of the materials and workmanship put into our cameras.   Yours sincerely
