Dear

Your letter requesting that we bill you quarterly rather
than monthly, presents us with somewhat of a problem.

Inasmuch as we would like to welcome you as a new customer
of our firm, we would like to accommodate you in any way
possible. Your request, however, would result in your
receiving preferential treatment for your account and would
be unfair to all of our customers who must settle their
accounts within 30 days. If we were to offer the terms
you have requested to all of our customers, we would soon
be out of business entirely.

I am sure you can understand our position in this matter.
We would welcome your account on our regular open account
basis and hope that we will have the opportunity to provide
you with our fine line of products as well as service.
