Thanks a lot Tdol.
Would you please say to me which of these sentences would you prefer use?

1.) If your prices are acceptable, we should be prepared to place a trail order.
2.) We should be prepared to place a trail order if your prices are acceptable.

I would use the first one.


Best regards,
Dany
