Dear Sirs

DRILITE BATTERIES

Improved methods of production enable us to offer our range of Drilite batteries at a reduced price for large quantities.

Details of the new prices for your market are enclosed, and you will see that the average price reduction is 5%. As our prices are quoted c.i.f. Dublin, you will agree that they are considerably lower than those of manufacturers of similar batteries, both here in Japan and elsewhere.

The quality of our products remains the same – only the finest chemicals are used. The new prices are for minimum orders of £ 1000 and are effective from 1 January. Immediate dispatch is guaranteed, and we hold ample stocks.

We look forward to supplying you in the new year at the new prices.

Yours faithfully,

NIPPONEX ELECTRICS
