（1） Dear Sirs, Thank you for your Letter of Credit No. 789, but on checking its clauses we find with regret that your L/C calls for shipment in October,20.., whereas our contract stipulates for November shipment. Therefore, it is imperative for you to extend the shipment date to November 30, and negotiation date to December 15, 20 .. respectively. Please act promptly and let us have your fax reply the soonest possible. Yours faithfully, (2) Gentlemen: We have received your L/C No. 3455 for the amount of US $ 6000 covering your Order No 123 for peanuts, for which we thank you. It appears that the amount in your L/C is insufficient, as the correct total CIF value of your Order comes to US $ 6500 instead of 6000, the difference being US $ 5oo. In view of the above, you are kindly requested to increase the amount of your L/C by US$ 500. Your prompt attention to the matter will be much appreciated. Yours truly, (3) Dear Sirs, Letter of Credit No. 3524 issued by the Bank of New South Wales has duly arrived. On perusal, we find that transshipment and partial shipments are not allowed. As direct steamers to your port are few and far between, we have to ship via Hongkong more often than not. As to partial shipments, it would be to our mutual benefit if we ship immediately whatever is ready instead of waiting for the whole shipment to be completed. Therefore, we have faxed you this afternoon, asking you to amend your L/C to read “Partial shipments and transshipment allowed”. We hope you will see to it that the amendment is sent without delay. Yours faithfully, VIII. Check the following letters of credit with the contract terms given and then
