Dear Siror Madam:

About our faxes on the 2nd, 6th and 12th of September, requesting you to establish the L/C concerned, we regret to inform you that we haven't received any response from you. We would like to remind you that it was agreed that you would establish the required L/C upon receipt of our confirmation. Obviously, we are placed in a very embarrassing situation since two months have passed and we have heard nothing from you. As the goods have been ready for shipment for quite a while, we believe you should take immediate action, and we cannot think of any valid reason for further delaying the establishing of the credit.

We look forward to your earliest reply.

Yours sincerely,

或者

General Recommendation.(10%)

To Whom It May Concern:

This is to testify that Mr. Yang Xiaoming has been employed in our sales department for over five years.

Mr. Yang graduated from the Shanghai Institute of Foreign Trade in 20--, specializing in International Marketing. He joined our staff as a junior clerk in July in the same year. He has continuously been aiming to improve his professional abilities since he began his work in our company.

Mr. Yang was willing and able to take on increased responsibility whenever necessary. He also was energetic and flexible, and ready to work part time. Moreover, his innovation spirit proved to be a great asset to our company, which eventually brought him to the position of Sales Manager last year.

We sincerely recommend him to any position for which he will apply.

Sincerely yours,

Elizabeth Post

Managing Director
