III. Letter-writing practice:Please translate the following letter into English:先生,兹告售货确认书2567和2568号项下货物备妥已有一个时期。

按上述售货确认书规定，货物应在五、六月间装运。

两周前我们曾发给你们一份电报，要求你们从速开立有关的信用证，电文如下：售货确认书2567、2568货已备妥，请立即开证。

但我们非常失望，我们迄今尚未收到任何回复。

你们可能记得，我们在前信中提到过有关开证的下列事项：1. 载明详细内容的信用证应在装运月期前一个月到达我方。

2. 若是即期装运的交易，则必须用电传或电报开证。

3. 开证时，请确保信用证中的规定与我们的合同相符。

装运期临近。

我们必须指出，除非你方信用证在本月底前到达我处，否则我们将无法在规定的限期内装运。
