Urging Establishment of Letter of Credit

Dear Sirs,
         According to the stipulation of our S/C, your covering L/C should have reached us before the end of last month.  We regret to note that up to the present we haven't received it yet.  Please expedite the establishment of the relevant L/C upon receipt of this letter so that we may effect shipment in time as stipulated.
         In order to avoid subsequent possible amendments, please see to it that the L/C stipulations are in conformity with those of the Sales Confirmation.
         Looking forward to receiving your favourable news in the shortest possible time.

                                                                           Your faithfully,




Refusing Belated L/C

Dear Sirs,

                      Re: Sales Contract No. 6837
     We regret to note that you have failed to establish your L/C against S/C No.6837 as required.  You did not even give us a reply in spite of our repeated reminders.  But, to our great surprise, today we are informed by our bank of the arrival of a L/C from you while the stipulated limit has been long over.
     As drastic changes have taken place in the market situation, it is impossible for us to execute the above contract, which we have treated as cancelled.  Therefore, your L/C No. 4692 has been returned through the bank.
    In addition, we would like to advise that if you guarantee to open your L/C according to the deadline stipulation in future., we will still be willing to take up your fresh orders.

                                                                                                                                                          Yours truly,

Requesting Extension of L/C

[b]Gentleman:[/b]

                          Re: Extension of L/C
         Thank you for your L/C No.2351 covering your order for 20,000 metres of printed shirting.  We regret to notice that, due to some delay on the part of our manufacturers, we are unable to get the goods in question ready before the end of March.  The earliest shipment we can arrange is just in the middle of April.
         For the above reason, we sent you a cable this morning reading:  L/C NO. 2351 PLSEXTEND BYCABLE SHIPDATE APRIL 16 VALIDITY APRIL 30.  We are sure that you will give us cooperation by extending the shipment date to April 16, and the negotiation validity to April 30 respectively.
        We feel sorry for the inconvenience caused by our delay in delivery.

                                                                                 
                                                                                                                                      Your faithfully,

To cover our shipment, we request you to establish an 100% value, Confirmed and irrevocable L/ C with partial shipment and transshipment  allowed clause, available by draft at sight, against surrendering the full set of shipping documents to the negotiation bank here.

As agreed, a Letter of Credit should be opened for a total of US$31900 covering the FOB price plus ocean freight, stipulating shipment by 31 August.  The credit expires on 15th September.

Please note that the terms of payment for the above orders are letter ( s ) of credit of 60 days' sight or D/P sight draft.  We regret we cannot accept "cash against documents on arrival of goods at destination".

Your order was confirmed by cable of May 15, subject to arrival of credit within 15-day period having expired on June 1st without receipt of L/C nor hearing any further advice from you, we cabled you today asking when the required L/C had been opened.

We regret that we would not ship the goods by a March vessel only because of the delay of your L/C.  We would request you to take up this matter with the issuing bank at once and let us know what has become of the letter of credit, otherwise, contrary to our intention, the shipment may be delayed a great deal.

As we have placed a further order with our suppliers, will you please increase the credit to US$11250 in accordance with attached instruction.

Your request for open account terms has been considered and we are pleased to grant this facility.  We would, however, prefer to draw a sight bill on you quarterly in favour of the Export Bank of Singapore, and we hope this will be agreeable to you.

Your statement of our account for the last quarter has been received and found correct.  We have instructed our bank to remit the amount of US$ 16500 for the credit of your account at the Mercantile Bank, New York.

We would suggest that, for this trial order, you let us have a demand draft or a postal money order, on receipt of which, we shall ship the goods on the first available steamer.  By so doing, you could save bank charges for opening an L/C.

Many thanks for your proforma invoice.  We accept this price and are making immediate payment to our bank, who will notify you of hte credit in due course.

urging shipment of goods overdue

Gentleman,:   
                                  Subject: Our order No. 918/contract No.8692
        We refer to Contract NO.8692 signed between us on 10th november, 1997 for 5000 cases Tin Plates, which is stipulated for shipment in February, 1998.  However, up to the time of writing we have not received from you any information about the order in question.  As you know, the contracted time of delivery is rapidly falling due and we should have received your shipping advice by the end of last month.
        No doubt there must have been some reason for the delay in shipping and to cover this contingency we cabled you that we were extending the Letter of Credit to the end of March.  We feel sure we shall soon be hearing from you about this business.
        Awaiting your reply, we are.
   
                                                      Yours truly,

A Reply to the above letter
Dear Sirs,
         We are in receipt of your letter dated 8th instant, contents of which have been duly noted.  We thank you for your kind cooperation in providing the necessary amendment to your L/C.
         We must apologize for the delay in delivery your order, which has been caused by the unexpected late arrival of the goods from the place of origin.
         Now the shipment has been arranged to go forth on board s.s. " Seagull", which is scheduled  to sail for your port early next month.  We shall, of course, not fail to cable you details of the shipment as soon as the goods are placed on board the steamer.
         It is sincerely hoped that our delay in communicating with you on the above order has caused you no trouble and that shipment will turn out  to your entire satisfaction.
                                         Your faithfully,

Shipping instruction

Dear Sirs,
         We acknowledge receipt of your telegram of 15th February, form which we understand that you have booked our order for three Model 590 precision grinding machines.
         Our Confirmation of Order will be sent to you in a few days.
         Since the transaction is made on FOB basis, you are to ship the goods from London on a steamer we designate.  As soon as the shipping space is booked, we shall inform you of the name of steamer, on which the goods are to go forward.  For further instructions, please contact our forwarding agents, Messrs.  Brown Company, London, who have hitherto been in charge of shipping from you.
         As some parts of the machines may be damaged easily by shock, the machines must be packed in seaworthy cases capable of withstanding rough handling.  The bright metal parts should be protected from dampness in transit by a coating of slushing compound that will keep out dampness, but will not liquefy and run off under changing weather condition.
         We believe that the above instructions are very clear to you and hope that the users will be entirely satisfied with the shipment.
                                                                        
                                                              Yours truly,

Requesting Postponement of Shipment

Gentleman:
        In regard to the first shipment against our Contract No. 6209, we wrote you on 5th instant that part of the goods was not in conformity with the contracted specifications.  We requested you to give us explanations and advise us how you would deal with the matter, but up to now we have not yet received any reply.
        So we regret to declare that we can not bind ourselves to accept the second lot of goods which is to be delivered by the end of next month until the quality problem has been settled satisfactorily.  We have to request that you should postpone shipment of this shipment for the time being. It goes without saying that we  have no obligations whatever in this matter.
         Meanwhile, we are still looking forward to your reply.

                                      Yours fatithfully,
