5. By preferring to use single words to phrases: cannot instead of are unable to

не можем» не в состо­янии

try concernin during to

make an effort having regard to in the course of with the object of

стремиться, пытаться

в отношении, относи­тельно

вовремя

с целью

6. By using "cable language" ("telegrafic English")» which is not always correct in ordinary writing, for example:

"PLS QUOTE LOWEST AND SOONEST TWO MACHINETOOLS CIF CAL­CUTTA RGDS" (The words "Lowest" and "soonest"are understood to mean: *4he lowest price" and "the soonest (earliest) delivery time") "CONFIRMING SHIPMENT EARLY MAY TWO MACHINETOOLS PLS ADVISE SHIPMENT TIME SECOND LOT ASAP RGDS" ("confirming" = we are confirming)

"REGRET PRICE UNACCEPTABLE" (= we regret we cannot accept your price)

"REGRET POOR DEMAND COMPETITORS POSITION VERY STRONG" (= we regret that there is poor demand for your equipment. Our competi­tors are in a very strong position.) For the sake of economy and occasionally of secrecy instead of writing

cables in clear you may use commercial codes (Marconi, Bentley's) and cyphers.

There are special "Code Books", for example the British ABC Code, which

serve as dictionaries (to read cables written in code). Remember that:

a) certain words are very frequent in cables, for example: to advise — уведомлять, сообщать

advice уведомление, сообщение

to expedite - ускорять

to finalize завершать, заканчивать

to report прибывать

Examples:

"PLS ADVISE SOONEST DELIVERY DATE RGDS PETROV"

"PLS EXPEDITE REPLY RGDS BROWN"

"URGENTLY FINALIZE CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS"

  1. If a document is quoted, the word "QUOTE" is written at the beginning (meaning цитирую) and "UNQUOTE" at the end (= конец цитаты).

  2. You write the word "eye" for the pronoum "I" to avoid confusing it with the figure "I".

  3. To stress the importance of something the word "repeat' is used and the important part is repeated, e.G.

"PLS TRANSFER ENGLISH POUNDS 500 REPEAT 500 ASAP."

Lengthy messages which are urgent may be sent by letter telegrams at half the rate for ordinary telegrams. They are delivered on the day next the one when they were handed in. Messages sent by letter telegram must have the appropriate indication: L.T. in front of the address.

Just a couple of decades ago telegrafic messages were the fastest means of business communication. They were widely used for buying and selling in exchanges, in dealings in raw materials, stocks and shares, foreign currencies, ships and insurance. But their role has been diminishing ever since the appearan­ce of other means of communication - especially - telexes.

For the convenience of the customers companies register their cable address­es (= telegrafic addresses) which are abbreviated (brief) registered addresses for use in cables. Company cable addresses were and sometimes still are printed on company forms.

Formally the cable address was given in detail, for example on the letter paper of the English firm H. Brown & W. Pink Ltd you could read:

Telegrams:

Foreign - BRONK, LONDON Inland - BRONK, PICCY, LONDON Code - BENTILEYS Now it is short:

Cable: STANLOR ESSLINGEN (= cable address of Standard Electric Lorenz AG from Esslingen)

Cable: NISSHOIWAI TOKYO (= cable address of Nissho Iwai Corporation from Tokyo)

Some companies do not print their cable addresses on their forms any lon­ ger. SPECIMEN CABLES ОБРАЗЦЫ ТЕЛЕГРАММ

Since cables and telexes are not juridical documents and if they contain information concerning changes in terms, dates or other important agreed data, they should be confirmed by letters the same day, either by repeating their words, or by sending their carbon copies, e.g.

Dear Sir,

We confirm our exchange of cables according to the attached copies, and enclose our Order No 456 with shipping instructions.

ENC:.5 pages /signature/

Dear Sir,
