Dear Mr. Chen

Re: 200 Cases Toys under S/C No. 3456

Please be informed that L/C No. 0987 for the above-mentioned goods was opened through the Bank of Scotland yesterday.

Would you please arrange for the shipment not later than 31 October? Last year, we profited from your kind arrangement for the shipment to catch the Christmas season. 请安排在 10 月 31 日前装运。去年，因为你方的及时安排装运而赶上了圣诞节销售季，我们获利匪浅。

We just hope that this time you will not delay the October shipment as contracted. Otherwise, we would very likely miss the high demand for toys as Christmas presents. 希望这次贵公司不要拖延合同规定的 10 月份装运期。否则，我们很有可能错过玩具作为圣诞礼物的需求高峰。

Thank you for your kind support and we look forward to receiving your shipping advice.

Yours sincerely (signature)
