兹回复你方2005年5月14日的电子邮件，首先感谢你方对我方产品的询价。我方的报价如下： 上海保险、运费加成本价（单位：箱） 数量 货名 单价（美元） HO3型 134 HO4型 140 HO5型 145 HO6型 150

付款方式是见票即付的不可撤销的信用证。交货日期在我方收到信用证后一个月。货物将用适合海运的木箱包装，一箱装150个同类机器零件。

因为我方生产用的原材料已上涨一段时间，我产品的市场行情也在上涨。因此我们建议你方早日接受我方的报价。此报价在15日内有效。

盼望你们早日接受。

在此情况下，我们认为有责任再次提醒你方，我们显然不能将7月1日到期的第32567号信用证再次延期。 有关各方均盼你迅速办理装运事宜，并电告有关装运情况，勿误。 谨上 3）

今后如你方有机会把价格做高，请告知我们。同时，请随时告知你地行情变化情况。我方保证对你方任何询价都予立即办理。 谨上
