Exercise 3
Act as an interpreter.

Grant: |
Come in, John. Well, you seem to have covered a lot of ground in Abraca. What about an agent? |
|
John Martin: |
Думаю, что я нашел хорошего (агента). Думаю, что он будет вести наши дела хорошо. |
|
Grant: |
What's his financial position? |
|
John: |
Когда я был в Джемзе, я навел справки в Национальном Банке Абраки, и они считают его (агента) надежным. |
|
Grant: |
Did you agree a commission if we decide to employ him? |
|
John: |
Да. Десять процентов, как обычно. |
|
Grant: |
How are we going to arrange payment from Abraca? I'm against sight draft. |
|
John: |
Да, я согласен. Это должен быть безотзывный аккредитив. Расчеты будут осуществляться через лондонское отделение Национального Банка Абраки, по получении ими наших коносаментов и всех прочих документов. |
|
Grant: |
Well, I'd like a more detailed report from you on paper, plus your long-term assessment. |

Fenella, these letters are full of spelling mistakes. |
