Hello my name is Peter Shilling; we met at the recent Edgeware china trade show.

I work for Eggshell, the largest importer of china in Sweden, and I was very interested purchasing some of your designer cups.  Could you please send me information on your product line and a price list? I would also like to know what your delivery times are and whether you treat the china at all to prevent staining.  I look forward to hearing from you; I think there is a definite market for your product in Sweden.

Thank you for your email of the 12th April.  I am sending you our latest catalogue and a price list as an attachment.  You will note that our blue cloud range is on special this month.  With regards to your questions, we deliver within three days of a firm order, and all our china is coated with a special protective agent to prevent staining.  Thank you for your interest in our company, if you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
