Requesting Accommodation due to a Downturn in Business Activity

March 8, 20 –

Fraser & Whatt Trading, Ltd.
390 River Valley Road
SINGAPORE 1124

Gentlemen:

You are no doubt aware of the recent sharp declines in sales in our market due to the recession here. This decline has left us with huge inventories, the carrying cost of which is now putting an extremely heavy burden on our finances.

We are writing today to ask for your cooperation in dealing with this problem. Specifically, we request that you grant us an additional 60 days usance on all payments until inventories can be adjusted to normal levels. This will probably require another four to five months depending on sales in the interim.

Your usual prompt and positive consideration of this request would help a great deal at this time.

Yours sincerely,
Jin Ki-shik
Director of Finance
