Denial of Request for Additional Discount
Dear
This letter is in response to your inquiry regarding our flexibility
in the discount rate we offer for early settlement of accounts.
* in response to ~ = ~에 답하여(응하여)/ inquiry = 문의(질의/조회)
* settlement = 지불(계산)
Our established discount is 2% of the total invoiced amount
when payment is received within 10 days of delivery. This figure
is not one that has been arbitrarily chosen, but is based on cost,
overhead and profit. To increase this discount rate for all of our
accounts would seriously jeopardize our firm and to increase
the rate for an individual account would be both unfair and unethical.
I believe that you will find that the 2% discount rate we offer our
customers is standard in the industry.
* arbitrarily = 독단(전단)적으로; 제멋대로, 마음대로
* overhead(s) = 간접비용
* jeopardize = 위태롭게 하다/ unethical = 비윤리적인
We consider you a most valued customer and hope that you can
appreciate our position in this matter. If we are able to accommodate you
in any way that is within our company policy, we will be most happy to do so.
* accommodate = (요구 등에) 부응하다/ in any way = 어떤 방법으로든
