Dear Sirs,
    Many thanks for your offer (报价) dated August 26th for leather shoes and for the illustrated catalogues you very kindly sent us.
    We appreciate the high quality of your goods, but unfortunately we are not in a position to accept the offer on your terms. Your prices appear to be on rather high side and they will leave us little or no margin of profit. As you may know, this is an area in which the principal demand is for goods in the medium price range, and leather shoes of the same quality from some other suppliers are now available in this market at much lower prices than yours. Some suppliers even offer a special discount of as high as 20% on orders exceeding $15 000.
    Much as we would like to do more business with you, it is rather difficult for us to accept the prices you offered. Unless you can reduce your prices by 10%, we will have no choice but to satisfy our requirements elsewhere.
    It is highly appreciated if you will give the matter your due consideration and allow us the discount as we suggested. We await your early reply.
                                                                 Yours faithfully,
                                                                  Charles Austen [br] What was the purpose of this letter?To ask the supplier to offer him ______ of 10%.
选项
答案 a discount
解析 本题问的是写这封信的目的。根据文章第三段第二句话的前半句及最后一段中的and allow us the discount as we suggested可知，写信的目的是要求供应商提供折扣，故答案为a discount。
