Dear Mr Wong
Enquiry about Batteries*
Thank you for your letter of Friday, 30 September 2022 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
