　　Dear Sirs:

　　We would like to place an order for 500 Irina 262 electric typewriters at your price of US$300 each, CIF Lagos, for shipment during July/August.

　　We would like to pay for this order by a 30-day L/C. This is a big order involving US$150,000 and, since we have only moderate cash reserves, tying up funds for three or four months would cause problems for us.

　　We much appreciate the support you have given us in the past and would be most grateful if you could extend this favour to us. If you are agreeable, please send us your contract. On receipt, we will establish the relevant L/C immediately.

　　Yours faithfully,

　　Tony Smith
　　Chief Seller

　　——先生:

　　本公司欲以貴公司報價條件，以每臺300美元價格（拉哥斯到岸價），訂購500臺伊琳娜262型號電動打字機，于七至八月裝運。

　　是項交易款額高達150,000美元，本公司只是適量現金儲備，占用資金三、四個月將造成麻煩，故建議以三十日有效期的 信用證 付款。

　　承蒙貴公司一向照顧，若能繼續給予優惠，本公司感激不忘。如同意上述建議，煩請賜寄合約，即開立 信用證 。
