Dear Sirs:
In the past, our purchases of steel pipes from you have normally been paid by confirmed, irrevocable letter of credit.
This arrangement has cost us a great deal of money. From the moment we open the credit until our buyers pay us normally ties up funds for about four months. This is currently a particularly serious problem for us in view of the difficult economic climate and the prevailing high interest rates.
If you could offer us easier payment terms, it would probably lead to an increase in business between our companies. We propose either cash against documents on arrival of goods, or drawing on us at three months' sight.
We hope our request will meet with your agreement and look forward to your early reply.
Yours faithfully,
Tony Smith
Chief Buyer

本公司与贵公司订购钢管，向以保兑不可撤销的 信用证 付款。
由开立 信用证 至收到客户付款，所需时间约为四个月。在现今经济气候不佳和利率高企的环境下，这种付款方法占去大量资金。
