    Dear Sirs:

    We refer to our purchase contract no. 954.

    Under the terms of the contract, delivery is scheduled for May 2000. We would now like to bring delivery forward to March/April 2000.

    We realize that the change of delivery date will probably inconvenience you and we offer our sincere apologies. We know that you will understand that we would not ask for earlier delivery if we did not have compelling reasons for doing so.

    In view of our longstanding, cordial commercial relationship, we would be very grateful if you would make a special effort to comply with our request.

    We look forward your early reply.

    Yours faithfully,

    Tony Smith
    Chief Seller

　　本公司对于提早装运该货所引致的不便，极感歉意。然而，实因有急切需要，才作此要求，还望贵公司能加以谅察。
