Lesson 11Specimen 1 Pressing for Opening the L/C

Dear Mr. Handayani,

Re: S/C No. 354

With reference to the correspondences exchanged between us recently, we have finalized the business on the basis of CIF. Needless to say，as a buyer, you are responsible for applying for an L/C, but much to our disappointment we have not had any news from you though we sent you an email two weeks ago pressing you for opening.

 

As contracted, the relative L/C covering the above S/C should have reached us before the end of last week. As the date of delivery is only one month and half away, we recommend that you open the L/C without delay. Extra charges and any losses caused by delay in arrival of the L/C will be for your account.

 

Please open your L/C immediately and let us have your reply by return. Your prompt attention to this matter will be appreciated.

 

Yours faithfully,

Li Wen

Manager
