September 10,2004 Dear Sirs, We
thank you for your irrevocable (不可撤销的) letter of credit (信用证) opened through
your bank for 4,000 dozen Man's Shirts. According to
stipulations (约定) of the L/C (letter of credit), the goods should be shipped not
later than September 15, Although we have been making great efforts to book
shipping on time, but much to our regret, we were told by the shipping companies
contacted that there would be no steamship before September because of the bad
weather. Therefore, we have not been able to deliver your order
in time, and we hereby request you to have both the date of shipment and the
validity (有效性) of the L/C extended. Since this is an urgent matter, please amend
(修正，修订) the L/C by cable. Your compliance (遵从，顺从) with our requests will be
highly appreciated.
