L/C for the amount of9 USD2,500 covering your Order No.215 for rapeseeds.It appears that the amount of your L/C is insufficient,as the correct total CIF value of your order comes to10 USD2,650 instead of USD2,500 with a difference of USD150.41 Furthermore,when we booked your order,we made it clear that delivery should be made within one month after receipt of your L/C.Now you are allowing us only half a month.As you may be well aware,it is impossible for us to get the shipment ready in such a short period of time.In view of the above,you are requested to increase the amount of your L/C by USD150,making a total of USD2,650,and also to extend the time of shipment to 31st October.Your prompt attention to this matter will be appreciated.Yours

the order.45 On the contrary,you inserted in the L/C two clauses to the effect that inspection of the material will be made at the port of destination and that you have the right to lodge claims against us within 10 days after arrival of the shipment.We are sorry to say that we cannot agree to such terms,and believe that their being contrary to our agreement has perhaps escaped your attention12.Your prompt amendment to the L/C and deletion of the two clauses is urgently r
