Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of credit No. 0316 covering your order for cashmere sweaters. Much to our regret, we find that there is no stipulation of transshipment being allowed in the relative L/C, so that we can hardly make any shipping arrangement for this parcel. When making our offer in our letter of May 12, we clearly pointed out the necessity of transshipment at Hong Kong, China. In order to expedite delivery of the goods, we have to request you to amend the relevant L/C accordingly. The goods are ready for shipment and we hope you will rush the necessary amendment with the least possible delay. We shall book shipping space on receipt of you amendments. Yours truly,
