五、撰写英文书信(本大题20分)

XXX先生：

事由：158号信用证

你方第121号定单，8公吨核桃仁，金额计2，500美元标题项下的信用证收到。

你方信用证金额似嫌不足。你方定单正确的成本加保险费运费的总值应是2，960美元，相差460美元。

鉴于上述情况，请将你方信用证金额增加460美元。一俟接到你方信用证修改通知书，当安排交货不误。Dear Mr. XXX;

Re:L/C No. 158

We wish to acknowledge receipt of the captioned Letter of Credit for

the amount of USD2,500 covering your Order No. 121 for 8 M/T Walnutmeat.

It appears that the amount in your L/C is insufficient, as the correct

total CIF value of your order comes to SUD2,960 instead of USD2,500, the

difference being USD460.

In view of the above, please increase the amount of your L/C by

USD460. On receipt of your amendment we shall arrange shipment without

fail.

Sincerely yours,
