Subject: REPRESENTATIVE NEEDED
KYDEI ENTERPRISE (H.K) CO.LTD
29-32/F., 30 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong,
HONG KONG.
Dear Sir/Madam,
We the management, members and staff of Kydei Enterprise (H.K)co. ltd, will be very glad if you
can represent us in your country as a medium of receiving payments for goods supplied to our
customers in North America.
We deal in Chinese art and interior design and the global need for our goods has given rise to a
significant increase in our customer base world wide.
Commission for your services is subject to negotiation upon acceptance of our proposal. In
anticipation of your acceptance of our proposal, I am taking the liberty of explaining in detail
the requirements and need for your services.
I am an exporter based in Hong Kong who exports Chinese art and interior design. Due to the
growing trend for the need for Chinese arts and interior
design in North America and the world in general, there has been an upsurge in my customer base
and the need for me to expand my business to meet up with the new responsibility at hand.
I assume you understand the need for every business to grow and expand to increase profit. As a
result of this development, I have had the need to extend my customer base to North America.
However, it is only logical that changes are put in place to meet up with the demands of a speedy
intercontinental monetary transaction as time is always a factor in effective business
management.
To give you a better understanding of what your responsibilities will be as my private payment
agent, it is important that you understand some difficulties that I am faced with presently in
receiving funds from clients in North America.
Firstly, most payments for goods are drawn in checks and it takes approximately two-four weeks
for checks from other continents to clear with our local banks. These delays mostly result in our
late response to orders
and we sometimes loose clients to other suppliers.
Secondly, we experience high tariffs and foreign exchange charges as funds will have to be
converted by our banks to local currencies as they are cleared with our banks and re converted to
foreign currency as we place orders for supplies from our international suppliers. As you can
see, the back and forth process of currency conversion, results to high charges for foreign
exchange thereby resulting to increase in cost of doing business. But with your assistance, funds
that are to be used for supplies will be sent directly by you to my supplies there by avoiding
the intercontinental banking processing time between Asia and North America.
From My business experience, I have come to realize that every good business reference starts
with a satisfactory performance and I have decided that it is better for us to prove to ourselves
how efficient we are. I believe this is better than any recommendation or reference. Good
business partnership is bonded firmly by friendship and understanding because
we are all unique and different that is why character and understanding cannot be over looked.
Because of this factor, I have come to the agreement that any funds received by you on my behalf,
entitles you to10% of the total funds for your services as commission. I do hope this is
acceptable to you.
I need you to understand that my requirement of your services is totally legal and there is no
reason for you to have any concerns. I personally will not
involve myself in any business venture that is not 100% legal and I will not advise you to throw
caution to the wind in that regard as well.
All I have asked is for your services to initiate a reduction in time and cost of doing business.
This will automatically instigate progress that will obviously be beneficial to both parties.
I do hope the term of business is acceptable to you. Upon receipt of your acceptance, I will
update you on how we may proceed.
Please accept my sincerest appreciation for your willingness to render your services and I look
forward to your prompt response to my email.
Thank you.
SHU LEE WONG.
