Dear Sirs:
Thank you for your L/C No.97425, but we regret to say that we have found some discrepancies. Please amend the L/C as follows:
(1) “US $10 000(SAY US DOLLARS TEN THOUSAND ONLY)”should read “ ￡10,000 (SAY POUNDS STERLING TEN THOUSAND LNLY)”.
(2) “Freight to collect” should read “freight prepaid”.
(3) “Shipment from China port to Manchester, England” should read “Shipment from China port to Liverpool, England”.
(4) “Partial shipments are allowed. Transshipment is prohibited.” should read “Partial shipments are prohibited. Transshipment is allowed.”
(5) “This credit expires on July 31, 2002”should read “This credit expires on August 15, 2002.”
We are awaiting your early e-mail amendments.
Yours truly,
