Offer of 2% Discount for Speedy Payments
Dear
In the past twelve months you have purchased a considerable amount of merchandise
from us, which pleases us greatly.
* considerable = 상당한, 많은/ merchandise = (매매한) 물품; (상점에서 파는) 상품
Since you have never taken advantage of the 2% discount we offer for early payment, we thought
that you might be unaware of just how substantial your savings could be. The savings on last year's
purchases alone would have amounted to $ _____.
* take advantage of ~ = ~을 이용하다; ~을 기회로 활용하다/ unaware of ~ = ~을 알지 못하는
* substantial = (양・가치・중요성이) 상당한/ amount to ~ = (합계가) …에 이르다[달하다]
By paying us within 10 days of delivery, you can actually save 24% of the face amount of your
average monthly bill over the period of a year. There are, in fact, firms who prefer to borrow funds
to take advantage of this discount. Of course, you know what is best for your own business, but we
want to be sure that you are aware of this savings factor.
* face amount = 액면, 액면금액/ average monthly bill = 월 평균 청구서
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the orders you have given to us over this past year
and the promptness with which you have always paid. It is a pleasure doing business with your firm.
* promptness = 재빠름, 신속, 기미/ do business with ~ = ~와 거래하다
