    Dear Sirs:

    Thank you for your order for 500 Irina 262 typewriters by your letter of 20 May.

    We have considered your proposal to pay by a 30-day letter of credit. We do not usually accept time credit. However, in view of our long and mutually beneficial relationship, we are willing to make an exception this time.

    I must stress that this departure from our usual practice relates to this transaction only. We cannot regard it as setting a precedent for future transactions.

    I enclose our sales contract No.83 covering the order. I would be grateful if you would follow the usual procedure.

    Yours faithfully,

    Tony Smith
    Chief Buyer

    ——先生:

    五月二十日来函收悉。承蒙贵公司订购500台伊琳娜262型号打字机，不胜感谢。

    就建议以三十日有效期的信用证付款，本公司向无此例，但鉴于贵我双方长期互惠关系，乐意接受该建议完成交易。

    此建议仅适用于是项交易，而不能作为今后交易的先例。

    随函附上此次订单的第83号销售合同。烦请按过往常规办理为荷。

    采购部主任
