VIII. Writing
Dear Sirs,
We thank you for your letter of March 25. Y
our comments on our offer of HCO have had our close
attention.
Although
we
are
keen
to
meet
your requirements, we regret that we
are
unable
to comply with
your request to reduce the
prices as our prices are closely calculated. Even if there is a difference
between
our
prices
and
those
of
other
suppliers,
you
will
find
it
profitable
to
buy
from
us
because the quality of out products is far better than that of other manufacturers.
We are prepared to allow you a discount of 5% provided your order calls for a minimum quantity
of 1000mt. If you find our proposal acceptable, please let us have your order at an early date.
Sincerely
Mark

Buyer:
Seller:
Well,
, we
are
glad
that
through
our
mutual
efforts
and cooperation,
we’ve
settled the issues of price, quality and quantity. Now what about the terms of payment?
For
the
payment
of
this
order, we can
only
accept
payment
by confirmed
irrevocable
letter of credit payable against shipping documents.
Buyer:
Seller:
I see. Could you make an exception and accept D/A
or D/P?
I’m sorry
, we cannot. To
tell
you
the
truth,
D/A
is
impossible
because
our
company
would take a considerable risk. Perhaps after more business together, we would agree to
D/P
terms.
To
be
on
the
safe side, we
only
accept
payment
by confirmed,
irrevocable
L/C against shipping documents for our exports at
present.
Buyer:
To be frank, when I open a letter of credit with a
bank, I have to pay a sum of deposit.
This would increase the cost of our import and what’s more, tie up our funds. To avoid
having our funds tied up, could you bend the rules a little?
Seller:
I’m
afraid
not.
We
insist
on
payment
by
letter
of credit.
Y
ou
know
that
a
confirmed
irrevocable
L/C
gives
the
exporter
the
additional
protection
of
the
banker’s
guarantee.
And what’s more, you may consult your bank and see if they will reduce the required
Buyer:
Seller:
deposit to a minimum.
Y
ou can rest assured that we Chinese always mean what we say. Now,to meet you half
way, can we make the payment by L/C after sight?
Well,
since
your
old
customers
speak
highly
of
your
commercial
integrity,
and
we
believe this initial business will serve to promote the friendship as well as trade between
us, I’ll let you make the payment by a 30
-day L/C and pay the interest according to the
rates on international monetary market. What do you think of it?
Buyer:
Great! Thank you.

Dear Sirs,
We have received your Fax of July 5

It is of great importance to our buyers that the arrival date of this order should be arranged as early

Fine. Are you ready for preparation of our ordered fresh garlic?
Surely. You ordered different sizes of our garlic, and 6.0cm up.
Exactly. We urgently need delivery of 6.0cm up garlic packed in CTN.
We are making packages these days. We offer a packing of 25kgs in a carton. Is it
Ok?
It’s Ok. But for consideration of quality guarantee, I must point out that the CTN

Buyer:
What kind of insurance coverage have you got in mind for our ordered fresh garlic, Mr.
Zhang?
Seller:
Considering our deal is based
on CIF terms, we’d like to have it covered under FPA.
Buyer:
Is the sweat and heating of the goods included in FPA?
Seller:
No. it belongs to the additional insurance.
Buyer:
Could you cover the sweat and heating for us, then?
Seller:
Sure. But as you know, the sweat and heating is an additional insurance coverage. If it is
required, the extra premium incurred will be for the buyer’s account.
Buyer:
I see. What about All Risks, then? Do we still have to pay the extra premium?
Seller:
Y
ou don’t really have
to. As a matter of fact, All Risks covers the insurance against all
risks of loss or damage to the insured goods arising from sea perils, and some external
forces.
Buyer:
Do you mean that risks such as leakage, breakage, TPND, seat and heating, hook and
contamination damage are all included?
Seller:
Y
es, absolutely
Buyer:
By the way, Mr. James, how shall we calculate the premium?
Seller:
That we’ll do according to conventions. It’s only a percentage of the total value of your
goods. It’s very low.
Buyer:
Thank you, Mr. Zhang. So, with regard to insurance, let’s put the following clause down
in the contract: “Insurance is to be effected by the seller for
110% of the invoice
value
against All Risks as per Ocean Marine Cargo Clauses of the People’s Insura
nce
Company of China.” Ok?
Seller:
Ok.
