Sample Letter One: Asking for Amendment to L/C

Re: L/C No.AC-567

We have today received your L/C No.AC-567 covering the shipment of 2,000 metric tons of Rice. After we have checked the L/C carefully, we find the L/C stipulations are not in strict conformity with the terms of our Sales Contract No. 473. Thus, we have to ask you to make the following amendments:

1. The quantity should read: 2,000 metric tons (5% more or less at Seller’s option). However, in your L/C, “5% more or less at Seller’s option” is omitted.

2. Draft to be at 30 days after sight, instead of at 90 days after sight.

3. The last shipment date should be extended to the end of November and the validity of the credit to December 15. Please confirm your amendments by fax, so that we may arrange shipment accordingly. Yours faithfully,
