Dear Sir, We thank you for your letter of the 7th instant, enclosing quotations for model cars. Will you please proceed with the work as quickly as possible. We will let you have the information asked for, at the earliest date, which will be in a few days time. It is understood that the model in the first place will be made with the plated parts indicated in aluminium paint, and so arranged that, after approval of outline, these parts can be replaced by others made in metal and chromium plated, also that the interior will be so arranged that it can be trimmed as required. It is also understood that you will arrange the model so that a front end of a different design from the one you have, can be fitted. This alternative front end is not mentioned in your quotation, but we take it that this is included. After receiving your reply, our official order will be forwarded to you. Yours faithfully, | ||
