| May 22, 2014 at 5:52 | comment | added | CoolHandLouis | Even though this has been "answered" can we get a clarification? Let's call you BUYER, raw supplier SELLER and Ministry of X GOVT. So BUYER has had many negotiations with GOVT to be able to purchase from SELLER to create MEDICATION. At this point, GOVT has given permission to BUYER to buy from SELLER. SELLER has helped you in negotiations with GOVT. And you are writing a "sentence of appreciation" to SELLER (perhaps a thank you or a preface to a proposal/contract), telling SELLER that with SELLER's help, you have SUCCESSFULLY negotiated with GOVT. Is that correct? | |

| May 21, 2014 at 12:57 | comment | added | A-friend | @oerkelens thanks for being of help. Just one more question. Can I use the adverb 'monopolistically' instead of 'directly. in my original sentence? I mean: "...purchase the raw materials monopolistically from you and..."? | |
