Dear Sirs,

Your L/C No.D 303
We are in receipt of the Letter of Credit bearing No. D 303 you established through the Barkley Bank, London on April 15th, covering our contract No. HC 54.

On perusal, we find that the Port of Destination should be Belfast and no transhipment is allowed. Since there are only one or two direct steamers monthly from Dalian to Belfast, we usually have to make shipment via Hong Kong. ln order to make sure that the goods will be duly delivered, which is to our mutual benefit, we request that you amend the said L/C to allow us transhipment.

In case the above amendment is not agreeable to you, you may change the Port of Destination Belfast to Liverpool because there are more direct steamers available from Dalian to Liverpool.

Your kind acknowledgement will highly oblige us.

Yours truly,

敬启者：
信用证第D303号
我方已收到贵公司4月15日往伦敦巴克莱银行开出的第D303号信用证。
经审阅后我们发现该信用证规定的货运目的港贝尔法斯特，已不允许转船，由于大连至贝尔法斯特的直达船，每月只有一、二次航次，我们经常在香港转船。为确保货物按时发送，请修改信用证允许转船，这对双方均有利。
若贵公司不同意这一修改，亦可将目的港贝尔法斯特改为利物浦。由大连至利物浦的直达船较多。
敬请首肯。
敬上
Dear Sirs,

Our L/C No. D 303

We hasten to answer your letter dated 7th March and express our regret that we have troubled you for our oversight in opening our L/C No. D 303.

This morning, we have cabled our bankers to make an amendment, reading:

“L/C D 303 PLSAMEND ALLOW TRANSHIPMENT”.

On receipt of notification of the amendment issued by the bank, please arrange for the shipment with all speed. If the goods turn out to our satisfaction, we will place a repeat order with you in near future.

Yours sincerely,

信用证第D303号
我们非常抱歉，由于我们的疏忽，开出的信用证第D303号有误，给你们带来了麻烦。
我们已于今天上午电告银行修改该信用证，电文如下：
“请修改第D303号信用证，允许装船。”
贵方收到银行修改信用证通知书之后，请尽一切可能早日安排装运。如果这批货物令人满意，我方不久将再次向贵方订购。
敬上
