Under the present circumstances, this question is particularly taxing owing to the tight money condition and unprecedentedly high bank interest.In view of our long business relations, we suggest that you accept “50% by D/P, 50% by L/C”.Your early reply will be highly appreciated.Faithfully yours,Unit 5 Orders, Acceptances and Rejections1. 1) on, fulfill, with, to, without2) to, with, on3) of, from, for, on, terms4) with, in, in, to, on, of5) in, for, of2. 1-5 CACAC 6-10 CCDBA3. 1) We shall place a trial order with you for 500 sets provided you will give us a 5% commission.2) We are working on your Order No. 678 at present and please believe that we will effect the shipment within your stipulated time.3) Owing to heavy commitments, many orders haven’t been made, we can only accept orders for October shipment.4) Our stock is exhausted and we are not in a position to accept fresh orders.
