    The purchasing manager receives a request from a rice supplier to increase prices by 5% due to poor harvests. In a 140-word email response, the manager: 1) Thanks the supplier for their past support but explains they cannot accept the proposed price increase as they have already negotiated prices with customers. 2) Proposes an alternative solution of a 5% discount if the restaurant doubles their order quantity and offers a 30% advance payment to help cut costs for the supplier. 3) Warns they have received competitive offers but want to continue the partnership if more reasonable prices can be offered.

    UNIT 6
    Topic: You are the purchasing manger of a restaurant chain. You have received a request from
    a supplier to increase the price of rice by 5% due to poor harvest in recent years (rice is a key
    ingredient for your restaurants).
    Write an email (120 - 140 words) to respond to the request
    Mark: ____________
    Your writing:

    From: AP.purchasing.@gmail.com
    To: supplier.@gmail.com
    Subject: increasing the prices of rice
    Dear sir/madam,

    I am writing with regards to your email about increasing the prices of rice by 5% that you have been
    supplying our company.

    First of all, let me express my sincerest thanks for your continual support over the past three years.
    Concerning your proposal, I and my team reviewed the whole proposal in detail. I understand that
    your firm has faced considerable difficulties due to poor harvest in recent years which hamper your
    attempts to quote a more competitive rate. However, I could not see how entirely shifting that burden
    to your customer is a viable solution.We have already negotiated the prices with our customer so we
    cannot change them now. With that being said, I am afraid we could not agree to your proposal, at
    least as it is right now.

    However,I would like to propose an alternative solution. Could you consider giving us a 5% discount
    off your list prices if we double our order quantity for the contract that we discussed last week? There
    is a possibility that we can make an advance payment of up to 30% of the contract as we are
    experiencing a cash surplus. We believe that will help you cut down on your costs of loss.

    For your information, we have already received very competitive offers from several other suppliers.
    However, we still want to continue our partnership with your company provided that you could offer
    us more reasonable prices.

    Yours sincerely,
    Trang
    Purchasing Manager
