　　After further consultation with the manufacturers of the goods, we regret to say that we are unable to come to any positive result which would help clear the situation. Our manufacturers are of the opinion that by a few traces of rust no harm could be done to those spare parts. They are not precision instruments after all, which would need different packing. Our manufacturers therefore come to the conclusion that there is no valid ground for complaint so long as such a defect does not in the least affect the use of the goods.
　　In consequence, we consider it difficult to file a claim against the manufacturers. Nevertheless, we are prepared to straighten out the matter in an amicable way by paying you a rebate of 5% so as to start with a clean slate. We hope that our proposal will be acceptable to you for the settlement of the pending case so that we may continue doing business with you shortly.
