24.Уважаемые господа!
Ссылаясь на наш контракт № 56-543, вынуждены сообщить Вам, что до настоящего момента мы не получили средства с аккредитива.
Это связано с тем, что в аккредитиве не оговорены частичная отгрузка, перегрузка с одного вида транспорта на другой и досрочная поставка, поэтому банк отказывается произвести списание. Просим Вас в срочном порядке внести необходимые изменения в условия (requirements) аккредитива. Учитывая, что вышеперечисленные условия поставки оговорены контрактом, считаем, что банковские расходы должны быть отнесены на Ваш счет.
В случае если Вы не внесете изменения в течение 2 дней, мы будем вынуждены начислить на Вас штраф за просрочку в платеже.
Суважением,
25.Уважаемые господа!
Благодарим Вас за информацию относительно готовности товара к отгрузке и сообщаем, что сегодня мы направили в банк приказ на открытие аккредитива на полную сумму контракта, оговаривающего поставку ДДП Москва. Частичные и досрочные поставки разрешены. Просим Вас обратить особое внимание на надлежащую упаковку. Учитывая неизбежное грубое обращение с грузом в пути, напоминаем Вам, что упаковка товара должна обеспечивать его сохранность при транспортировке наземным транспортом и возможных перегрузках с одного вида транспорта на другой.
Суважением,

DIALOGUE 2
–Добрый день, г-н Кумар. Я звоню Вам по срочному вопросу.
–Hello, Mr Kolosov. What’s up?
–Проблемы с аккредитивом. Мы поставляем товар частями и смешанными видами транспорта. Крупногабаритное оборудование – морем. Запасные части – самолетом. Это не указано в аккредитиве, и банк не производит списание.
–We have established the LC in full accordance with the contract clauses and provisions. Any discrepancy in the wording is definitely excluded.
–В таком случае прошу Вас направить копию Вашего приказа в банк на открытие аккредитива.
–We will do it without delay. Moreover, I will get in touch with our bank to clarify the matter.
–Заранее благодарен. Если все-таки будет необходимо внести изменения в условия аккредитива, прошу срочно связаться со мной. Банковские расходы согласно контракту за наш счет.

–Я надеюсь, у Вас не будет проблем с получением лицензии на импорт наших товаров. Просим информировать нас о получении такой лицензии.
–I do not suppose this equipment is subject to import control.

–Вы не могли бы прояснить ситуацию в ближайшее время? Это значительно облегчило бы нам работу над контрактом.
–O.K. No problem. And what about allocation of expenses connected with customs dues, duties, taxes and all that sort of thing.
–Наша обычная практика – Продавец платит все налоги и пошлины в России, а Покупатель поступает аналогичным образом в своей стране.
–It sounds reasonable. Now it is time we got down to some technical matters.
–Мы готовы ответить на все ваши вопросы. Сегодня на переговорах присутствуют представители грузоотправителей, т. е. заводов-поставщиков.
