信用证英语
信用证(Letter of Credit,L/C),是指开证银行应申请人的要求并按其指示向第三方开立的载有一定金额的,在一定的期限内凭符合规定的单据付款的书面保证文件。信用证是目前国际贸易中最主要、最常用的支付方式。
信用证的主要当事人及其权利与义务
(1)开证申请人(applicant)。向银行申请开立信用证的人,在信用证中又称开证人(opener)。
义务:根据合同开证;向银行交付比例押金;及时付款赎单
权利:验、退赎单;验、退货(均以信用证为依据)
说明:开证申请书有两部分即对开证行的开证申请和对开证行的声明和保证(申明赎单付款前货物所有权归银行;开证行及其代理行只付单据表面是否合格之责;开证行对单据传递中的差错不负责;对“不可抗力”不负责;保证到期付款赎单;保证支付各项费用;开证行有权随时追加押金;有权决定货物代办保险和增加保险级别而费用由开证申请人负担。
(2)开证行(opening/issuing bank)。接受开证申请人的委托开立信用证的银行,它承担保证付款的责任。义务:正确、及时开证;承担第一性付款责任
权利:收取手续费和押金;拒绝受益人或议付行的不符单据;付款后如开证申请人无力付款赎单时可处理单、货;货不足款可向开证申请人追索余额。
(3)通知行(advising/notifying bank)。指受开证行的委托,将信用证转交出口人的银行,它只证明信用证的真实性,不承担其他义务,是出口地所在银行。
还要证明信用证的真实性;转递行只负责照转。
(4)受益人(beneficiary)。指信用证上所指定的有权使用该证的人,即出口人或实际供货人。
义务:收到信用证后应及时与合同核对,不符者尽早要求开证行修改或拒绝接受或要求开证申请人指示开证行修改信用证;如接受则发货并通知收货人,备齐单据在规定时间向议付行交单议付;对单据的正确性负责,不符时应执行开证行改单指示并仍在信用证规定期限交单。权利:被拒绝修改或修改后仍不符有权在通知对方后单方面撤消合同并拒绝信用证;交单后若开证行倒闭或无理拒付可直接要求开证申请人付款;收款前若开证申请人破产可停止货物装运并自行处理;若开证行倒闭时信用证还未使用可要求开证申请人另开。
(5)议付银行(negotiating bank)。指愿意买入受益人交来跟单汇票的银行。
根据信用证开证行的付款保证和受益人的请求,按信用证规定对受益人交付的跟单汇票垫款或贴现,并向信用证规定的付款行索偿的银行(又称购票行、押汇行和贴现行;一般就是通知行;有限定议付和自由议付)。
义务:严格审单;垫付或贴现跟单汇票;背批信用证;
权利:可议付也可不议付;议付后可处理(货运)单据;议付后开证行倒闭或借口拒付可向受益人追回垫款
(6)付款银行(paying/drawee bank)。信用证上指定付款的银行,在多数情况下,付款行就是开证行。对符合信用证的单据向受益人付款的银行(可以是开证行也可受其委托的另家银行)。有权付款或不付款;一经付款无权向受益人或汇票善意持有人追索
(7)保兑行(Confirming Bank)受开证行委托对信用证以自己名义保证的银行
加批“保证兑付”;不可撤消的确定承诺;独立对信用证负责,凭单付款;付款后只能向开证行索偿;若开证行拒付或倒闭,则无权向受益人和议付行追索。
(8)承兑行(Accepting Bank)对受益人提交的汇票进行承兑的银行,亦是付款行。
(9)偿付行(Reimbursement Bank)受开证行在信用证上的委托,代开证行向议付行或付款行清偿垫款的银行(又称清算行)。只付款不审单;只管偿付不管退款;不偿付时开证行偿付。
信用证方式的一般收付程序
1)开证申请人根据合同填写开证申请书并交纳押金或提供其他保证,请开证行开证。
(2)开证行根据申请书内容,向受益人开出信用证并寄交出口人所在地通知行。
(3)通知行核对印鉴无误后,将信用证交受益人。
(4)受益人审核信用证内容与合同规定相符后,按信用证规定装运货物、备妥单据并开出汇票,在信用证有效期内,送议付行议付。
(5)议付行按信用证条款审核单据无误后,把货款垫付给受益人。
(6)议付行将汇票和货运单据寄开证行或其特定的付款行索偿。
(7)开证行核对单据无误后,付款给议付行。
(8)开证行通知开证人付款赎单。
信用证主要内容
1)对信用证本身的说明。如其种类、性质、有效期及到期地点。
(2)对货物的要求。根据合同进行描述。
(3)对运输的要求。
(4)对单据的要求,即货物单据、运输单据、保险单据及其它有关单证。
(5)特殊要求。
(6)开证行对受益人及汇票持有人保证付款的责任文句。
(7)国外来证大多数均加注:“除另有规定外,本证根据国际商会《跟单信用证统一惯例(1993年修订)》即国际商会500号出版物(《ucp600》)办理。”
(8)银行间电汇索偿条款(t/t reimbursement clause)。

信用证的种类
(1)以信用证项下的汇票是否附有货运单据划分为:跟单信用证及光票信用证。
①跟单信用证(Documentary Credit)是凭跟单汇票或仅凭单据付款的信用证。此处的单据指代表货物所有权的单据(如海运提单等),或证明货物已交运的单据(如铁路运单、航空运单、邮包收据)。
②光票信用证(Clean Credit)是凭不随附货运单据的光票(Clean Draft)付款的信用证。银行凭光票信用证付款,也可要求受益人附交一此非货运单据,如发票、垫款清单等。在国际贸易的货款结算中,绝大部分使用跟单信用证。
(2)以开证行所负的责任为标准可以分为:
①不可撤销信用证。指信用证一经开出,在有效期内,未经受益人及有关当事人的同意,开证行不能片面修改和撤销,只要受益人提供的单据 符合信用证规定,开证行必须履行付款义务。
②可撤销信用证。开证行不必征得受益人或有关当事人同意有权随时撤销的信用证,应在信用证上注明“可撤销”字样。但《UCP500》规定: 只要受益人依信用证条款规定已得到了议付、承兑或延期付款保证时,该 信用证即不能被撤销或修改。它还规定,如信用证中末注明是否可撤销,应视为不可撤销信用证。
(3)以有无另一银行加以保证兑付,可以分为:
①保兑信用证。指开证行开出的信用证,由另一银行保证对符合信用证条款规定的单据履行付款义务。对信用证加以保兑的银行,称为保兑行。
②不保兑信用证。开证行开出的信用证没有经另一家银行保兑。
(4)根据付款时间不同,可以分为:
①即期信用证。指开证行或付款行收到符合信用证条款的跟单汇票或装运单据后,立即履行付款义务的信用证。
②远期信用证。指开证行或付款行收到信用证的单据时,在规定期限内履行付款义务的信用证。
③假远期信用证。信用证规定受益人开立远期汇票,由付款行负责贴现,并规定一切利息和费用由开证人承担。这种信用证对受益人来讲,实际上仍属即期收款,在信用证中有“假远期”(usance L/C payable at sight)条款。
(5)根据受益人对信用证的权利可否转让,可分为:
①可转让信用证。指信用证的受益人(第一受益人)可以要求授权付款、承担延期付款责任,承兑或议付的银行(统称“转让行”),或当信用证是自由议付时,可以要求信用证中特别授权的转让银行,将信用证全部或 部分转让给一个或数个受益人(第二受益人)使用的信用证。开证行在信用证中要明确注明“可转让”(transferable),且只能转让一次。
②不可转让信用证。指受益人不能将信用证的权利转让给他人的信用证。凡信用证中末注明“可转让”,即是不可转让信用证。
(6)循环信用证。指信用证被全部或部分使用后,其金额又恢复到原金额,可再次使用,直至达到规定的次数或规定的总金额为止。它通常在 分批均匀交货情况下使用。在按金额循环的信用证条件下,恢复到原金 额的具体做法有:
①自动式循环。每期用完一定金额,不需等待开证行的通知,即可自动恢复到原金额。
②非自动循环。每期用完一定金额后,必须等待开证行通知到达,信用证才能恢复到原金额使用。
③半自动循环。即每次用完一定金额后若干天内,开证行末提出停止循环使用的通知,自第×天起即可自动恢复至原金额。
(7)对开信用证。指两张信用证申请人互以对方为受益人而开立的信用证。两张信用证的金额相等或大体相等,可同时互开,也可先后开立。它多用于易货贸易或来料加工和补偿贸易业务。
(8)对背信用证。又称转开信用证,指受益人要求原证的通知行或其他银行以原证为基础,另开一张内容相似的新信用证,对背信用证的开证行只能根据不可撤销信用证来开立。对背信用证的开立通常是中间商转售他人货物,或两国不能直接办理进出口贸易时,通过第三者以此种办法来沟通贸易。原信用证的金额(单价)应高于对背信用证的金额(单价),对背信用证的装运期应早于原信用证的规定。
(9)预支信用证。指开证行授权代付行(通知行)向受益人预付信用证金额的全部或一部分,由开证行保证偿还并负担利息,即开证行付款在前,受益人交单在后,与远期信用证相反。预支信用证凭出口人的光票付款,也有要求受益人附一份负责补交信用证规定单据的说明书,当货运单 据交到后,付款行在付给剩余货款时,将扣除预支货款的利息。
(10)备用信用证。又称商业票据信用证、担保信用证。指开证行根 据开证申请人的请求对受益人开立的承诺承担某项义务的凭证。即开证行保证在开证申请人未能履行其义务时,受益人只要凭备用信用证的规 定并提交开证人违约证明,即可取得开证行的偿付。它是银行信用,对受益人来说是备用于开证人违约时,取得补偿的一种方式。

范文1信用证展期
——————:
信用证展期
我们遗憾地告诉你方,直到今天我方才收到你方有关上述售货确认书的信用证。在所述确认书上清楚地规定有关信用证应不迟于8月底到达我处。虽然你方信用证到达的期限已过,但鉴于我们之间的长期友好关系,我们仍愿装运你方订货。然而,由于信用证迟到,我们不能按售货确认书所定间装运货物。因此,需将信用证展期如下:
(1)将装运期延期至10月底(2)将信用证有效期展至11月15日
请注意我们要求在9月30日之前收到信用证修改收。否则,我们无法如期装运货物。
期盼及早收到你方信用证修改通知书。

范文2改证
————————:
请更正信用证
兹收到你方9月1日来函,通知我们你方已按我第90-US1064号销售确认书开立了第A-894号信用证。该信用证刚刚收到。然而我们发现信用证中有些条款与合同条款不相符,对此表示遗憾。在此,我们将这些不一致的地方列出,以请你方更正。
(1)受益人姓名应为“上海机械设备进出口公司”,而不是“上海机械进出口公司”。因为后者是上海另一家进出口公司的名称。
(2)请在信用证中数量及金额前插入“大约”一词,因为我们不可能如合同所订那样装运确切的数量。
我们分析上述错误应是笔误,希望你方立即用电传作必要的修改,以便我们及时装运。
望对上述事宜及时注意。
范文3催证
——————:
第1131号销售确认书
很高兴地看到,自从我们开始业务联系以来,经过双方共同努力,已取得达成第1131号销售确认书的成果。无疑,这将成为双方今后更多的进行互利交易的好兆头。
按照销售确认书的规定,交货期正日益临近,但有关信用证我方尚未收到。希望能从速办理,以便顺利执行贵方订单。
为了避免可能发生的信用证修改,请注意来证条款与销售确认书取得一致。请放心,该批货物在各个方面符合贵方的要求。
范文4磋商推迟付款
贵方6月25日提醒我方欠款已经逾期的来函,业已收到。
迄今为止,我方在承担自已的义务方面,没有什么困难,而且一向是迅速与贵方结清帐目的。要不是因为我们的一个大客户破产的话,我们目前也会结清。该客户的困境看来在一段时期内无法解决。如蒙贵方允许我们推迟到8月底付款,将万分感激。这将使我们能够克服因无法预料的突发性事件而造成的暂时困难。
在今后的几周内,我们将会收到大理合同项下应付的款子,如果贵方同意我方请求,届时我们将毫不费力地与贵方结清全部帐目。

无论你是写信给客户,给经理或是同事,你都一定要感谢他们。每个人都喜欢被感谢,那就在你的信对读者表示感谢,感谢他们所做的事情,还可以事先感谢他们将要为你做的事!你会发现将真诚表达在你的字里行间会让你受益匪浅。
邮件的开头
感谢读者是邮件开场白的好办法。感谢您的读者能让对方感到高兴,特别是之后你有事相求的情况下会很有帮助。
Thank you for contacting us.如果有人写信来询问公司的服务,就可以使用这句句子开头。向他们对公司的兴趣表示感谢。
Thank you for your prompt reply.当一个客户或是同事很快就回复了你的邮件,一定记得要感谢他们。如果回复并不及时,只要将“prompt”除去即可,你还可以说,“Thank you for getting back to me.”

Dear Sirs:
Thank you for your letter of 20 January 2007.We are disappointed to hear that our price for Flame cigarette lighters is too high for you to work on.You mention that Japanese goods are being offered to you at a price approximately 10% lower than that quoted by us.We accept what you say, but we are of the opinion that the quality of the other makes does not measure up to that of our products.Although we are keen to do business with you, we regret that we cannot accept your counter offer or even meet you half way.The best we can do is to reduce our previous quotation by 2%.We trust that this will meet with your approval.We look forward to hearing from you.Yours faithfully,Tony Smith Chief Seller

先生:
二零零七年元月二十日来函收到,不胜感激。得知贵公司认为火焰牌打火机价格过高,无利可图,本公司极感遗憾。来函又提及日本同类货品报价较其低近百分之十。
本公司认同来函的说法,然而,其他厂商的产品质量绝对不能与本公司的相提并论。
虽然极望与贵公司交易,但该还盘较本公司报价相差极大,故未能接受贵公司 定单。
特此调整报价,降价百分之二,祈盼贵公司满意。
谨候佳音。

英文促销信写作指南
促销的目的就是要卖出产品,那么怎样才能把促销信写得吸引人、让人一看就对产品感兴趣呢?下面就教你促销信的四步写法、打造 very attractive 的促销信。
第一步:To arouse attention
促销信都是“不请自来”,所以开头一定要有吸引力和诱惑力。It must make an appeal to some particular buying motive and may begin with a question, and instruction, a quotation or an attention-grabing short story.Sometimes if required, it may even begin by suggesting the very opposite to what you want.看看下面这些开头是怎么写的:
1)Would you like to reduce your rising domestic fuel costs?
2)Why not enjoy the colorful spring by joining the flying Horse Tourist Group after a completely busy winter?
3)Just imagine how comfortable you are when you stretch out those tired limbs on our newly developed White Cloud water bed.第二步:To create interest and desire
一旦抓住了读者的注意力,就该趁热打铁劝服他们买自己的产品。介绍产品必须要紧紧围绕你在信的开头所提出的引人之处。光说“最好”、“最新”是没什么实际意义的。应该强调特性、质量、原材料,以及和同类产品相比最出彩的地方。我们且看下面这个产品介绍是如何写的:
Our recent researches and tests have showed that rooms with our newly developed Energy Savers stay warmer and require 20 percent less fuel than those rooms of the same size without the usage of the savers.The new savers are popular because they are able to store and reflect heat in a much more efficient way.Read the enclosed brochure, you will find that the self-stick backing makes them easy to install yourself.第三步:To offer conviction
通过产品介绍引起读者的购买欲望后,就该进一步加强读者购买的决心。你可以详细说明并保证产品会给读者带来许诺的好处。且看下面这段内容是如何吸引客户的:
1)Use our Fast Microwave Oven for two weeks absolutely free.2)If for any reasons you find the model machine unsuitable to your needs, we will replace your order or refund you.第四步:To motivate actions
到了这一步,所有的努力都指向一个目标:促使客户采取行动、购买产品。这时语气要礼貌坚决,并提供给客户如何购买产品的指示,以方便客户购买。下面是一些常用的策略:
1)Why wait? Come and buy right now since a special discount of 15% will only be offered for a month.2)Don't delay!Those who order by October 5 will receive 100 Oriental Design Christmas cards free.商务英文信函格式大全
商务信函书信是日常生活中常用的文体,是用以交涉事宜、传达信息、交流思想、联络感情、增进了解的重要工具。书信一般可分为商务信件或公函(Business Letter or Official Correspondence)和私人信件(Private Letter)两大类。值得注意的是,英语 书信的写法与汉语书信有一些明显区别,应特别加以区分。英语 书信通常包括下面几个组成部分:信端、信内地址、称呼、正文、结束语、签名、附件、再启等。下面我们将逐个进行介绍。
1、商务信函信端(Heading)
信端即信头,一般包括写信人的地址和写信日期。一些正式信函的信端还包括发信人或单位的电话号码、电报挂号、电传、传真和邮政编码等。西方国家中有些信端甚至还有单位负责人的姓名、职务和职称等。信端的目的是使收信人一看便知道书信来自何处,何时发出,便于复信和查阅。用一般的信纸写信时,信端应写在信纸的右上角,若字数较多,可从信纸中间或偏右的地方写起。若字数较少,可适当多向右移一些,使整个信端的重心落在右上角。
商务信函信端的写法主要有并列式和斜列式两种。从目前情况来看,前者更为常用。采用并列式时,每行开头要左对齐;采用斜列式时,每行开头逐次向右移二三个字母的距离。例如:
(1)并列式
Fuxing Street
Haidian District
Beijing
Post Code: 100035People’s Republic of China
Tel: 63211234
Aug.20, 2004
(2)斜列式(Indented Form)Fuxing Street
Haidian District
Beijing
Post Code: 100035
People’s Republic of China
Tel: 63211234
Aug.20, 2004
写信端时,先写发信人的地址,地点的名称按由小到大的顺序排列,然后是其它项目和发信日期。具体次序是:第一行写门牌号和街名;第二行写区名、市(县)名、省(州、邦)名,往国外寄的信,还要写上国家的名称;国家名称的前面加上邮政编码,其后可写上电话号码,最后一行写发信日期。如果写信人的地址是机关单位的名称,则将其作为第一行。如果写信人的单位没有门牌号码和街名,则第一行可写上所在班级或专业组的名称;第二行写系、科、室名称;第三行写学校名称;第四行写市(县)、省(州)名称;然后再写邮政编码、国名、电话号码、发信日期等项。
如果使用标点符号,则在每行末尾加逗号,最后一行的末尾加句号。但当前的信件中行末大都不加标点符号,但在每行之内该用标点符号的地方,仍要用标点。特别要注意的是,门牌号码和街名之间要加逗号。月份和日期之间不可用逗号。在西方国家,城市名称之后往往写有字母或数字(如 New York, 103),表示城市的邮政编码。
关于发信日期的写法,应注意以下几点:
①年份应完全写出,不能简写。
②月份要用英文名称,不要用数字代替。
③月份名称多用公认的缩写式。但 May, June, July, 因为较短,不可缩写。
④写日期时,可用基数词1,2,3,4,5,„„28,29,30,31等,也可用序数词 lst, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, „„28th, 29th, 30th, 31lst等。但最好用基数词,简单明了。
日期可有下列几种写法:
① Oct.20, 2004
② 10 May., 2004
③ 3rd June, 2004
④ Sept.16th, 2004
其中,①最为通用。
2、商务信函信内地址(Inside Address, Introductory Address)
信内地址收信人的姓名和地址,写在信纸的左上角,从信纸的左边顶格开始写,低于写信人地址和发信日期一二行,也分并列式和斜列式两种,但应与信端的书写格式保持一致。其次序是,先写收信人姓名、头衔和单位名称,占一二行,然后写地址,可占二至四行,例如:
①并列式
Ms.Joanna Kerry
Peking University
Haidian District, 100871
Beijing
China
②斜列式
Ms.Joanna Kerry
Peking University
Haidian District,100871
Beijing
China
3.商务信函称呼(Salutation)
对收信人的称呼应自成一行,写在低于信内地址一二行的地方,从信纸的左边顶格开始写,每个词的开头字母要大写,至于末尾处的符号,英国人用逗号,但美国和加拿大 英语 则多用冒号。称呼用语可视写信人与收信人的关系而定。给外国人写英文信时,称呼用语要注意以下几点:
①对没有头衔的男性一般称呼 Mr.。Mr.用在姓氏之前或姓氏和名字之前,不可只用在名字之前,例如对的称呼,应该是:Mr.或 Mr.White, 不可是:Mr.Phil。若称呼多个男性,则在姓名前用 Mr.的复数形式 Messrs.。对一般以人名为名称的公司和企业常用这种称呼,例如:Messrs.Black and Brothers 布莱克兄弟公司。
②对女性一般称呼 Mrs.,Madam 或 Miss。Mrs.用在已婚女子的丈夫的姓氏之前,或姓氏和名字之前,一般不用在名字前 Madame 此词可以单独使用或加在丈夫的姓名之前 Mrs.没有复数形式。若称呼多个女性,则在姓名前用 Mme.的复数形式 Mmes.而对以女子名字为名称的公司、企业可用 Mesdames 称呼。Miss 多用于未婚女子,此词可缩写为 Ms,用于姓氏之前或姓氏和名字之前,一般不用于名字之前。
③对收信人的称呼,也可用头衔或职位的名称,不分性别。例如 Professor(缩写为 Prof.),Doctor(缩写为 Dr.),General(缩写为 Gen.)。这些称呼都放在姓氏之前或姓氏和名字之前,如 Prof.(Phil)White等。
④对外公函中对收信人的称呼,可用 Gentlemen(而不是 Gentleman),Dear Sir(s)和 My dear Sir(s)等。Gentlemen 之前不能加 Dear,后面也不能带姓名。用 Sirs 时,前面常用 Dear 一词,但也可单独用 Sir。若收信人是妇女,则无论已婚或未婚,都可单独使用 Madam 或其复数 Mesdames。
⑤对外国高级官员的称呼,如国家元首、政府首脑、部长、大使、公使和特使等,可用(Dear)Sir,(Dear)Mr.Chairman,(Dear)Mr.Premier,(My dear)Mr.Ambassador,Your Excellency(复数为 Excellencies)。
⑥对君主制国家的国王和皇帝等男性君主,可以 Sir 称呼,对女王、女皇和皇后等女性君主,可用 Madam 称呼。有时也用 Your Majesty 称呼以表示。客气和尊敬Your Majesty 可兼指男性和女性,其复数为 Your Majesties。

信的正文每段第一行应往右缩进约四五个字母。在写事务性信件时,正文一般开门见山,内容简单明了,条理清楚。在写私人信件时,信写好之后若有什么遗漏,可用 P.S.表示补叙。
5.商务信函结束语(Complimentary Close)
结束语是写信人表示自己对收信人的一种谦称,只占一行,低于正文一二行,从信纸的中间或偏右的地方开始写。第一个词的开头字母要大写,末尾用逗号。结束语视写信人与收信人的关系而定例如写给机关、团体或不相识的人的信,一般用:

6.签名(Signature)
信末的签名一般低于结束语一二行,从信纸中间偏右的地方开始写。若写信人是女性,与收信人又不相识,则一般在署名前用括号注上 Miss, Mrs.或 Ms.,以便对方回信时知道如何称呼。有的还有署名后写上自己的职称、职务或头衔

再启部分用于补叙正文中遗漏的话,一般应尽量少用,正式的函件中更应避免使用。
9.私人和公务信函--注意事项
首先,写信者应设身处地想到对方,尊重对方的风俗习惯。
其次,英文信应该行文流畅、言简意赅,避免冗长。这就是说,写信者应用尽可能少的文字表达其必须传递的信息,而且写信者应将其所需传递的信息表达清楚,以免对方产生误解。书信交往,同样需要以礼待人。因而在写信过程中,要避免伤害对方感情,措辞上多选用些礼貌婉转词语。
