Dear Sir:

We have received your letter of Jan. 12th, regarding commission on the sale of the above-mentioned goods.

As a rule, we usually grant 3% commission on this particular article. However, considering the difficulty you may meet with and your efforts in pushing sales of our products, we agree to raise your commission to 5%, in order to help you open the market at your end.

Yours faithfully,

通常對(duì)這種特殊商品，我們只給百分之三的傭金。然而，考慮到您可能遇到的困難和在推銷我方產(chǎn)品中做出的努力，我們同意將傭金提高到百分之五以幫助開拓你方市場(chǎng)。
