Dear Sirs

Much to our regret, we have to inform you that we have not received a bank guarantee from you.

In view of the above, we would like to remind you of your letter of 20^th May, this year, in which you asked us to change the method of payment by L/C as inconvenient owing to the difficulties and extra expenses connected with its opening.

Understanding your difficulties, our company made a concession for you and offered payment on collection terms. You accepted the proposed method of payment and undertook to submit within three weeks a first – class bank guarantee for 80% of the contract value.

However, as we are still without your bank guarantee, we have had to suspend the shipment of the above spare parts.

Yours faithfully,

Communication

Is a natural talent of Americans. When negotiating partners meet, the emphasis is on small talk and smiling. There is liberal use f a sense of humor that is more direct than it is in the UK Informality is a rule. Business partners do not use their academic titles on their business cards. Sandwiches and drinks in plastic or boxes are served during conferences.

This pleasant attitude continues in the negotiation itself. US negotiators usually attach little importance to status, title, formalities and protocol. They communicate in an informal and direct manner on a first – name basis. Their manner is relaxed and casual.

Despite the ₤ 11,000 salary and anti – social hours, John Burgin, 48, has never been happier. “Banking was a career but in the end became just a job”, he said. “Once I knew I was leaving, I used to go outside at lunchtime and watch as the buses drove up and down. The time had come”.

His passion was awakened as a boy growing up in Sheffield, where he collected bus maps and time – tables. But Mr. Burgin from Nailsea, near Bristol, went on to spend nearly 30 years working his way up through NatWEst.

“The levels of stress are totally different”, he said. “At the bank, things were very political. I worked hard all day then took work home, and it never really finished. There is stress driving a bus around Bristol, but it’s a different kind and I don’t take it home”
