Dear Mr. Jones:
We have received your L/C No.121/99 issued by the Yemen Bank for Reconstruction & Development for the amount of $19,720 covering 1,600 dozen Men's Shirts. After reviewing the L/C, we find that transshipment and partial shipment are not allowed.
As direct steamers to your port are difficult to find, we have to ship via Hong Kong more often than not. As to partial shipment, it would be our mutual benefit because we could ship immediately whatever we have on hand instead waiting for the whole lot to be completed.
We, therefore, are writing this afternoon, asking you to amend the L/C to read: "TRANSSHIPMENT AND PARTIALSHIPMENT ALLOWED"
We shall be glad if you see to it that amendment is cabled without any delay, as our goods have been packed ready for shipment for quite some time.
Sincerely,
John Roberts
