Arthur: We're willing to participate in the bid which you advertised in China Daily. Would you please tell me the detail of the tender conditions?
Mr. Hunter: You will receive the detailed information about volume of the project and the cost.
Arthur: OK! Our company is eligible bidders, and I'm sure that we'll do our best to win the bidding. Should we pay earnest money?

Mr. Hunter: To our office which is on the third floor.
Arthur: Oh, I see. By the way, is tender-opening done publicly?
Mr. Hunter: Yes. All the bidders will be invited to join us to supervise the tender-opening. So far as we know, in the field, your company has lots of experience, and we hope you'll consider the tender seriously.
Arthur: OK! We will. Bye!
Mr. Hunter: Bye!
