要求修改信用证的函电
出口方在审核信用证后，如发现有不符合买卖合同或有不利于出口方安全收汇的条款，应及时联系进口商通过开证银行对信用证进行修改。修改信用证的要求应尽可能一次性具体明确地提出，以避免或减少往返改证，延误时间。 一封规范的改证函，应包括以下三方面内容： 1. 感激对方开来的信用证。 2. 列明不符点并说明如何修改。
3. 感谢对方合作，并希望信用证修改书早日开到，以利于继续履约。

一：修改信用证 Dear Mr. Jones：
We have received your L/C No.121/99 issued by the Yemen Bank for Reconstruction & Development for the amount of $19，720 covering 1，600 dozen Men's Shirts. After reviewing the L/C， we find that transshipment and partial shipment are not allowed.
As direct steamers to your port are difficult to find， we have to ship via Hong Kong more often than not. As to partial shipment， it would be our mutual benefit because we could ship immediately whatever we have on hand instead waiting for the whole lot to be completed.
We， therefore， are writing this afternoon， asking you to amend the L/C to read： \
We shall be glad if you see to it that amendment is cabled without any delay， as our goods have been packed ready for shipment for quite some time.
二：延长信用证期限 Dear Mr. Jones：
