Could you please send us in advance a set of
technical documents in both English andVietnamese?
We regret that at present we are not in a position to
place an order for the Freshman 2035 because its
price is rather high and we are not quite sure that it
will sell well in Vietnam. However, if this order is
completed to our satisfaction and if we find that
there is a ready market for this kind of goods inVietnam, we shall probably place further orders.
