Dear Siror Madam:

About our faxes

on

the 2nd, 6

th

and 12

th

of September, requesting you to establish the L/C

concerned, we regret to inform you that we haven't received any response

from

you.

We would like to remind you that it was agreed that you would establish the required L/C

upon

receipt of our confirmation. Obviously, we are placed

in

a very embarrassing

situation since two months have passed and we have heard nothing from you. As the

goods have been ready for shipment

for

quite a while, we believe you should take

immediate action, and we cannot think of any valid reason

for

further delaying the

establishing of the credit.

We look forward to your earliest reply.

Yours sincerely,

或者

General Recommendation.(10%)

To Whom It May Concern:

This is to

testify

that Mr. Yang Xiaoming has been employed

in our sales department for

over five years.

Mr. Yang graduated from the Shanghai

Institute

of Foreign Trade in 20--,

specializing in

International Marketing. He joined our staff as a junior clerk in July in the same year. He

has continuously been aiming to improve his professional abilities since he began his

work in our company.

Mr. Yang was willing and able to

take on

increased responsibility whenever necessary.

He also was

energetic

and flexible, and ready to work part time. Moreover, his

innovation

spirit proved to be a great asset to our company, which eventually brought him to the

position of Sales Manager last year.

We sincerely recommend him to any position for which he will apply.

Sincerely yours,

Elizabeth Post

Managing Director
