Subject: Price increase of rice

Dear Supplier,
Thank you for your email informing us about the increase in rice prices due to poor harvests in
recent years. We appreciate your honesty and transparency.
However, we are concerned about the impact of increasing this price on our business. Maybe you
also know that Rice is a key ingredient for our restaurants and we have a tight budget. So we
can't afford it and face some big trouble.
We have been loyal customers of your company for over five years. Therefore, we would like to
negotiate with you about the price increase. Could you please consider reducing the increase from
5% to 3%? If you increase by 3%, we promise to buy 400 kilograms straight ahead and pay by
cash after receiving the rice . We hope that you can understand our situation and accept our
request. Besides, I also receive offers from other suppliers for their products at lower prices than
yours. Because we have a long-term cooperation relationship with you, I have not yet responded
to their request and we trust your quality and service.
Please let us know your decision by the end of this week. We look forward to hearing from you
soon.
Yours sincerely,
Quynh Vu
