Lesson 13 Extension to L/C

Lesson 13 Specimen 1 Extension of the Shipment Date and Validity

 

Dear Mr. Rigoni,

 

We acknowledge with thanks receipt of your L/C No.1123846, covering your order for 5,000 sets of heart rattan baskets.

 

We regret that, on account of the delay on part of our suppliers at the point of origin, we won’t be able to have the goods prepared by the end of October. We thus sent you a fax yesterday, asking for the extension of shipment date and validity of the credit to November 15 and November 30.

 

It is expected that the consignment will be ready for shipment in the early part of November and we are arranging to ship it on S.S.“Fan Yang”sailing from Shenzhen on or about November 10.

 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. We sincerely hope that you would immediately extend your L/C as requested thus enabling us to effect shipment of the goods in question.

 

Yours truly,

Huang Kai
