    Attention ： Mr. Y. Mohammed

    Dear sirs,

    The 12,000 cycles you ordered will be ready for dispatch by 17th December. Since you require them for onward² shipment to Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar, we are arranging for them to be packed in seaworthy containers.

    Each bicycle is enclosed in a corrugated³ cardboard pack, and 20 are banned together and wrapped in sheet plastic. A container holds 240 cycles； the whole cargo⁴ would therefore comprise 50 containers, each weighing 8 tons. Dispatch can be made from our works by rail to be forwarded from Shanghai harbour. The freight charges from works to Shanghai are US$80 per container, totally US$4.000 for this cnsignment, excluding container hire, which will be charged to your account.

    Please let us have your delivery instruction.

    Yours faithfully,

    Kang Zhuang

    General Manager
