29 September 20__ SCANTRACK Heidelberglaan 2 Stockholm, Sweden Dear Sirs,
We acknowledge receipt of your letter of 25 September in which you asked us to prolong the time of delivery under Contract No. 12/BC/147 of 12 July 20__ for two weeks owing to some delays on your subcontractors’ part.
We can agree to your request but want to point out that in this case we will have to prolong L/C No. 14/MB/22/00 for USD 12,000.00 opened by us with Midland Bank Ltd., London. This prolongation means that we will have to bear extra charges as all charges connected with any amendment to this L/C are for our account.
We think the following solution might help us: if you undertake to pay the charges connected with this amendment we will agree to your request and advise our bank to amend the L/C.
We are looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully, A.Tugay A.Tugay Manager |
