Amendment to L/C
  Dear Sir or Madam，

    Your letter of credit No.8844 issued by the Royal Bank of Canada has arrived.
    Upon further examination, we have found that transshipment and partial shipment are not allowed.
    As direct sailings to Portugal are infrequent, we have to transshipment may be necessary. With regard to partial shipment, it would speed matters up if we have in stock instead of waiting for the whole shipment to be completed.
    With this in mind, I send you a letter today asking for the letter of credit to be amended to read “part shipment and transshipment allowed”.
    I trust this amendment will meet your approval and you will send e-mail to us that effect without delay.
    Yours sincerely,
    Hillary
