Subject: Shipping

Dear Ms. Cleverelle,

The first shipment of equipment from Savbizcor LTD has arrived. We are delighted with every piece. Therefore, we decided to make our initial purchase larger than anticipated. I am attaching our purchase order No. 8930 for additional goods totaling list price $700.000.

Since you already have a copy of our Procurement Guidelines, I shall not attach them to this order. As before, we will establish a letter of credit. Please inform me of shipping dates.

Sincerely,

Gregory Donaldson

Chief Procurement Officer
