A Specimen Letter
Dear sir：
Your letter of the 5th March came to hand yesterday.
Accordingly, we have lost no time in getting in touch with our factories and urged them to hasten their delivery. Owing to heavy commitments, they cannot advance delivery from June to April but they understand perfectly that July is the selling season for shirts in your market. They eventually agree to make delivery in mid-May.
We have booked the shipping space on S.S.. Peace, which is scheduled to sail on or about the 20th of May. We shall send you an email as soon as the loading is completed.
Yours faithfully
National Textiles I/E Corp.
贵方三月五日来函昨日收悉。
据此，我们立即与厂方联系，催促他们赶快交货。由于交货任务繁重，他们不能把交货日期从六月份提前到四月份。但是他们非常清楚七月份是贵方市场衬衣的销售季节，故最终他们同意五月中旬交货。
我们已订妥“和平轮”的舱位，预计五月二十日左右开航。一旦装货完毕，我们即发电子邮件告知贵方。
