Dear Mr. XXX;
Re:L/C No. 158
We wish to acknowledge receipt of the captioned Letter of Credit for the amount of USD2,500 covering your Order No. 121 for 8 M/T Walnutmeat.
It appears that the amount in your L/C is insufficient, as the correct total CIF value of your order comes to SUD2,960 instead of USD2,500, the difference being USD460.
In view of the above, please increase the amount of your L/C by USD460. On receipt of your amendment we shall arrange shipment without fail.
Sincerely yours,
