Dear Sirs,?

We have pleted our enquiries concerning the pany mentioned in your letter of May 18 and have to inform you to consider carefully the business with them.?

In the past three years,the pany has experienced a serious difficulty in finance and delayed in executing

their normal payment.It seems to us that the pany’s difficulties were due to bad management and in paricular to overtrading.??

We would advise you to pay most careful attention to any business relations with them.However,this is our personal opinion and we wish you to make further enquiries on your part.?

Yours sincerely，

Dear Sir,?

We are sorry to say that our experiences with the pany which you inquired? about in your letter of June 17 have been unsatisfactory.?

It is true we were in business relations with the firm of the last two years and on several oasions we have had lots of trouble in effecting settlements.?
