1．Sample Letter 1 Urge Early Shipment of the Goods Ordered Dear Sirs, Re: Contract No. 12345 Referring to our previous emails, we wish to call your attention to the fact that up to the present moment no news has come from you about the shipment under the captioned contract. As you have been informed in one of our previous emails, the users are in urgent need of the goods contracted and are in fact pressing us for assurance of early delivery. Under the circumstances, it is obviously impossible for us to again extend L/C No.2566, which expires on 19 august, and we feel it our duty to remind you of this matter again. As your prompt attention to shipment is most desirable to all parties concerned, we hope you will let us have our shipping advice without further delays. Yours faithfully, 2.Sample Letter 2 Asking for Early Shipment of the Goods Dear Sirs, With reference to Contract No.PON45 covering the 50,000 metric tons walnuts, we believe that amendment to the relative letter of credit has been made and has reached you already. We should like to solicit your cooperation to expedite shipment. Yesterday our clients came to us with the request that 30,000 metric tons of walnuts be shipped during March and the remainder in April as they are in urgent need of them. We presume that you must have received a lot of bookings for this commodity from abroad, resulting in a tight shipping schedule; nevertheless, we venture to write to you, hoping that you will see your way to accommodate us. Thank you in advance for your kind cooperation. Yours faithfully, 3.Sample Letter 3 Advice of Shipment Dear Sirs, We are pleased to inform you that all the goods ordered on the indent enclosed with your letter of 5 July have been shipped by s.s. Jointway, which sailed from London yesterday and is due to arrive at Alexandria on 8 September. As requested, the consignment will be handled on arrival at Alexandria by Messrs. Johnson Co., who will make all the arrangements for its delivery to you.
