Translating the letters into Chinese:敬启者：你方第 333 号订单项下 12000打“莲花”牌牛仔裤的第

6288 号信用证已收到，谢谢！在详阅后我们发现不允许转船和分批装运，由于到你方港口的直达船稀少，在大多数情况下，货物必须在香港转运。至于分批装运问题，如果我们能立即装运目前已备好的货物，而不必等到整批货物备妥后再装运，这将对你我双方都是有利的。因此我们认为有必要请你方将信用证修改为“允许转船和分批装运”。否则，交货势必被延误。

请从速办理此事，我们不胜感激。此致敬礼


Gentlemen : We thank you for your L/C No.6288 covering your Ord

er No.333 for 12,000 dozen Lotus Brand Jeans . On perusal, we find that transshipment and partial shi

pment are not allowed . As direct steamers to your port are few and far between ,in most cases , goods have to be transshipped from Hongkong. As to partial shipment , it would be to our mutual benefit if we could ship immediately whatever is read instead of waiting for the whole shipment to be completed . Therefore , we find it necessary to request you to amend your L/C as allowing transshipment and partial shipment , failing which the delivery of this order will by force be delayed.

Tour prompt attention to the matter will be much appreciate.

Your truly,

Chapter A Sample L/C Ⅶ
