(A) Asking for Easier Payment Terms

Dear sirs,

Our past purchase of Mild Steel Sheets from you has been paid as a rule by confirmed, irrevocable letter of credit.

On this basis, it has indeed cost us a great deal. From the moment we open credit till the time our buyers pay us, the tie-up of our funds lasts about four months. Under the present circumstances, this question is particularly taxing owing to the tight money condition and unprecedentedly high bank interest.

If you would kindly make easier payment terms, we are sure that such an accommodation would be conducive to encouraging business. We propose either " Cash against Documents on arrival of goods" or " Drawig on us at three months' sight".

Your kindness in giving priority to the consideration of the above request and giving us an early favourable reply will be highly appreciated.

Yours faithfully,

函电 (30) ------ B

(B) Reply

Dear sirs,

We note from your letter of August 2 that you wish to ask for an entension of our terms.

Acctually, there is nothing unusual in our original arrangement. Counting from the time you open credit till the time shipment reaches your port, the interval, which is quite normal, is only about three months. Besides, your L/C is opened when the goods are ready for shipment. In this case, we are sorry that we cannot meet your wishes.

As we must adhere to our customary practice, we siincerely hope that you will not think us unaccommodating.

As soon as a fresh supply of Mild Steel Sheets comes in, we will contact you.

Your faithfully,

Dear sirs,

Reference is made to your Contract No.AB405 covering Weasel Tail Hair in the amount of RMB￥1,200 and No.AB507 RMB￥1,100 for Dressed Goathair "2--4".

As either of these contracts is less than the equivalent of ￡1,000 in value,we shall be glad if you will as usual ship the goods to us on CAD. i.e. each against documents basis.

We hope you will accommodate us in this respect and look forward to your early reply.

Dear sirs,

We are in possession of your letter of 28th August and have noted your proposal for payment against documents for Contract Nos. AB405 and AB507.

We are pleased to say that we agree to your above proposal. However we consider it advisable to make it clear that for future transactions D/P will only be applicable if the amount involved for each transaction is not up to ￡1,000 or its equivalent in Renminbi at the conversion rate then prevailing. Should the amount exceed that figure, payment by letter of credit would be required.

As we said previously, it is only due to our long friendly relations that we extend you this accommodation.

Yours faithfully,

(A) Modifying Terms of Payment

Dear sirs,

[u]Our Order No.123[/u]

We have studied the specifications and pricelist of your new paints and varnishes and now wish to place the enclosed order with you. As we are in urgent need of several of the items, we should be glad if you could make up and ship the order as soon as you possibly can.

In the past we have dealt with you on sight credit basis. Now, we would like to propose a different way of payment, i.e. when the goods purchased by us are ready for shipment and the freight space booked, you cable us and we will remit you the full amount by T/T. The reasons are that we can thus more confidently assure our buyers of the time of delivery and save a lot of expense on opening the letter of credit. As we feel this would not make much difference to you but would facilitate our sales, we hope you will grant our request.

We look forward to your confirmation of our order and your affirmative reply to our new arrangements of payment.

Yours faithfully,

Encl. As stated.

今天的例文如下:

(A) Request for Payment by D/A

Dear sirs,

We are the largest departmet store in Kuwait and have recently received a number of enquires for your stainless-steel cutlery. We think there are good prospects for the sale of this cutlery, but at present it is little known here and as we cannot count on regular sales we do not feel able to make purchase on our own account.

We are therefore writing to suggest that you send us a trial delivery for sale on D/A terms. We make the proposal hoping to place firm orders when the market is established.

We believe our proposal offers good prospects and hope you will be willing to give it a trial. As to our standing, you may check it with our bankers, the National Bank of Kuwait.

Yours faithfully,

Dear sirs,

Thank you for your letter of 9th February. We have carefully considered your proposal to receive a trial delivery of our cutlery on D/A but wish to inform you that to promote business the best we can exceptionally do as a trial will be on D/P sight terms.

In accepting our proposal you assume no risks since our cutlery is well-known for its good quality, attractive design and reasonable price. This cutlery sells well in many other countries and we think it will have a good sale in your store.

If you are interested in our proposal, please write us by return and we will approach you further.

Yours faithfully,

好,进入我们今天的例文: Unfavourable Reply to a Proposal of D/A Terms

Dear sirs,

We have received your letter dated December 1, 2001. As already pointed out in our previous letter, we had made arrangements with our manufacturers to make delivery as punctually as possible in future. We shall see to it that your interest is well taken care of at all times.

Regarding the terms of payment, while we have every confidence in your integrity and ability, we wish to reiterate that our usual terms of payment by confirmed and irrevocable letter of credit remain unchanged in all ordinary cases. For the time being, therefore, we regret our inability to accept D/A terms in all transactions with our buyers abroad.

For future shipments, however, we shall do our best to fulfil your orders within the time stipulated. If, by any chance, it is impossible for us to do so, we will effect shipment on a D/P basis in order to avoid putting you to so much trouble in the extension of letter of credit. We trust you will appreciate our cooperation.

Yours sincerely,
