Dear Mr. Ratanara,
Re: Removal of business equipment from Singapore to Hong Kong
Thank you for your telephone enquiry. I am (example)┈┈┈to provide you with the quotation that you requested. 21┈┈┈addition to this, I am including further details of our service. The price is 22┈┈┈on the items that you mentioned in your phone cal and will, of course, vary if you decide to add extra items or 23┈some.
In order to keep the cost as low as 24┈┈┈, we will move your equipment when it is most convenient for us. We will try to 25┈┈┈your move with those of other clients who ask us to transport goods at around the same time. I am sure you will 26┈┈┈that if we were to make a special trip just for your equipment the cost would be much 27┈┈┈. This means that 28┈┈┈you requested a move on 23 June, this precise date may not be possible. However, we regularly transport goods 29┈┈┈Singapore and Hong Kong, and we would 30┈┈┈to be able to move your equipment within two or three days of your requested date.
The 31┈┈┈ does not include packing. I understand that you prefer to 32┈┈┈out your own packing since 33┈┈┈of your equipment is quite fragile.
I hope that these initial details meet with your 34┈┈┈, and ask that you do not hesitate to 35┈┈┈us if you require any further advice.

Yours sincerely,
Dave Ring
