Subject:Costs of raw materials
Dear Harry,
We need to increase our sales by at least 15%because the cost of our raw materials has gone up by 50%. We cannot sustain this situation for long.If we want to stay in business we need to lower costs and increase sales.I have spoken to Terry, our Production Manager, about this and he is doing what he can to lower costs in his department and if you can raise sales in your department then we will be well on the road to recovery.Please urge your staff to do whatever they can.
Regards,
Andy
親愛的哈里:
由于我們的原材料成本已經(jīng)上漲了50%,我們需要增加至少15%的銷售額。否則,目前這種局面我們維持不了多久。如果我們希望繼續(xù)經(jīng)營(yíng)下去的話,我們必需降低成本,同時(shí)增加銷售。我已經(jīng)和生產(chǎn)經(jīng)理泰瑞談過這個(gè)情況了,現(xiàn)在,他正盡一切可能降低他們部門的成本,如果你能提高你們部門的銷售業(yè)績(jī),我們的處境就將有所好轉(zhuǎn)。請(qǐng)督促你的員工,讓他們盡力而為。
此致
敬禮!
