 Dear Mr Wong
Re: Enquiry about Batteries
 Thank you for your letter of Friday, 12 February 2012
regarding making copies of the sample battery you sent us.
 I have investigated the situation and found that your
specifications are exactly the same as the design of a
proprietary camera battery manufactured by a large Japanese
electronics company. We feel that it would not be in our
interests to supply this type of battery.
 However, I would like to thank you for considering our
company as your supplier.
 I look forward to doing business with your company in the
future.
 Yours sincerely
