Gérard Manager Disc S.A. 251 rue des Raimoniéres F-86000 Poitiers Cédex Reply to a request for CDs Dear M. Gérard Thank you for your enquiry of 12 May in which you asked about CDs we advertised in this month‘s edition of ‘Lectron‘. I can confirm that they are of high quality, and suitable for domestic recording. They are ‘Kolby‘ products, a brand name you will certainly recognize, and the reason their prices are so competitive is that they are part of a consigment of bankrupt stock that was offered to us. Because of their low price, and the small profit margin, we will not be offering any trade discounts on this consigment. But we sell a wide range of electronic and computer products and have enclosed a price list giving you details of trade, quantity, and cash discounts. We have sent, by separate post, samples of the advertised CDs and other brands we stock, and would urge you to place an order as soon as possible as there has been a huge response to our advertisement. Thank you for you interest. Yours sincerely (Herr) R. Gerlach Sales Director Enc. price-list
