Online Class Notes (Jesse)

Writing exercise

My job in a trading company:
Take charge of order processing, shipment followed up, arrangement of inspection

Video meeting on wechat:
Sorry your voice is break in and out, I canā€™t hear you completely.

My email to foreign customers, but maybe itā€™s too complicated, please rewrite it freely:
The machine canā€™t workable for these days,so the production had to stop and wait for machine resuming working, and accordingly the leading time will be delayed to next Wed.
We are rushing the orders, and had already arranged two QC to inspect the bulk but still canā€™t spare time for factory to deliver the goods as forwarderā€™s cutoff date, and canā€™t catch the shipment of vessel on 4/18,so we have to delay to next shipment of vessel on 4/25,is it acceptable for you?

For this time we canā€™t get your confirmation of forwarder in time, in doing so ,we didnā€™t have time to check the cutoff date from them, and we canā€™t prepare the orders in advance, on the other hand, the forwarder didnā€™t know our request of booking space, we have to delay the shipment, so next time would you please check and inform us earlier?(is it too strong tone?)

We quoted with supplier, they provided unit price as 12/kg,(the price went up 2/kg than last order, increased by 20% than last order)ļ¼Œthey explained because the raw material raised a lot after CNY, the purchase cost are higher for them, and recently the cost are not stable, if we donā€™t rush the order, it would be better to check the price 2 weeks later.

The email I wrote to a customer broke her promise of payment:
Please kindly note as per our contract, we will get 50% payment before shipment, so we still wait for your payment to deliver the goods.
20%deposit, 50% payment before shipment and 30% 30days after shipment.
Is the 50% called ā€œbalanceā€? Or only 30% is?

The email I wrote to a very close British customer:
This morning I heard the bad news that Prince Philip died ,Iā€™m so sorry for your loss.Is he very popular person in your country?

Because the detective goods, we asked discount from supplier and they provided 3/kg discount from supplier, the original price of this order is 10/kg,so after discount itā€™s 7/kg, 30%discount.

As per our talk by ?via ?on wechat, the price is 15/kg and the sample making charges are RMB1000( refund after order:I measn if they place order after receiving the samples, the we wonā€™t ask sample payment from the customer).


My job in a trading company:
I’m in charge of order processing, shipment follow up, arrangement of inspection

Video meeting on wechat:
Sorry you’re cutting out (anything)/ you’re breaking up (phone), I canā€™t hear you very well. / I can’t hear what you’re saying very clearly because of the internet connection.

My email to foreign customers, but maybe itā€™s too complicated, so please feel free to rewrite it:
The machine isn’t working and is currently being repaired these days, so the production had to stop and wait for the machine to resume working, and accordingly the lead time will be delayed to next Wed.
We are rushing the orders, and have already arranged two QC to inspect the bulk but we still canā€™t spare time for the factory to deliver the goods as per the forwarderā€™s cutoff date, and canā€™t catch the shipment of the vessel on 4/18, so we have to delay to next shipment of the vessel to 4/25. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and very much appreciate your understanding.Ā 

This time we canā€™t get your confirmation of the forwarder in time, so the result was that we didnā€™t have time to check the cutoff date from them, and we couldn’t prepare the orders in advance. However, the forwarder didnā€™t know our request of booking space, and / so we have to delay the shipment. Would it be possible if in future you check and inform us at least 2 weeks in advance of the cutoff date? That would very much help us to ensure that the shipment process is smoother in future.Ā 

We have received a quote from the supplier, and they provided a unit price of 12 yuan per kg, (from the last order, the price went up by 2 yuan per kg,Ā which is an increase of 20%)ļ¼Œthey explained that it was because the raw material increased in price a lot after CNY, so the purchase cost are higher for them, and recently the cost are not stable, if we donā€™t rush the order, it would be better to check the price 2 weeks later.

The email I wrote to a customer broke her promise of payment:
