亲爱的TOMI,
伦敦银行开立的F25-1号信用证
很感谢收到金额计8500英镑60打尼龙成衣(nylon dresses)的标题所指信用证。
看来你方信用证少开了300英镑,因为你方定单CIF正确总金额合计为8800英镑,而不是8500英镑,其差额为300英镑。
有鉴于此,请将信用证金额增加300英镑。
一俟收到你方信用证修改书,我方立即发运。
忠诚的XXX
敬启者:
来信收悉,在收到你公司前次信件之后,我们立即与制造厂取得联系,催促
他们赶快交货。
因为他们迟迟不复,装船期不能肯定,我们在上个月便没有答复你方的信件,深为抱歉。
经过再三努力,已商定装“东风”轮,预计本月25日左右开航。
装货完毕,当即电告装运通知。
真诚的XXX。
