Yumi’s Deal with a Sri Lankan Buyer for Suzuki Alto – A Complicated LC Transaction
Princess Trading office, early morning. Yumi is reviewing emails when she gets a request from a Sri Lankan buyer.
Yumi reads through the inquiry:
Email from Sri Lankan buyer:
Dear Yumi,
We are interested in importing Suzuki Alto models from Japan for the Sri Lankan market. Could you provide us with the availability and pricing for 20 units? We are looking to make a purchase in the next few weeks. We would also need information about your payment options, as we will proceed with an LC transaction.
This sounds like a great opportunity, but I remember that Sri Lanka operates on LC (Letter of Credit) payments, which can be a bit complicated. I should probably get my sister’s advice on this.
Yumi calls her older sister, Sachie, for advice.
Sis, I got an inquiry from a Sri Lankan buyer. They’re interested in importing 20 Suzuki Alto models, but they want to pay using an LC. I’m not familiar with handling LC transactions, especially with Sri Lanka. Do you think we should go ahead with it?
LC transactions can be tricky, especially with international markets like Sri Lanka. I think it would be best if you let Manami handle it. She’s more experienced with these types of deals, and I’m sure she’ll manage it smoothly.
“Alright, I’ll forward the details to Manami. Thanks for the advice, sis.”
Yumi reaches out to Manami, forwarding the email from the Sri Lankan buyer.
Hi Manami,
I’ve received an inquiry from a Sri Lankan buyer for 20 Suzuki Alto models. They are looking to make the purchase via an LC transaction. I’m not familiar with handling these, so I thought it would be best if you could take over this deal. Please see the buyer’s request below. Let me know what you think!
Hi Yumi,
I’ll handle this. I’m experienced with LC transactions, especially for countries like Sri Lanka. I’ll reach out to the buyer and start the process. I’ll keep you updated on everything. Thanks for passing it on!
Manami begins her communication with the Sri Lankan buyer, sorting out the details of the LC payment.
Hello, Akash. I understand that you’re interested in purchasing 20 Suzuki Alto models. We’re ready to move forward with your order, but as you know, the payment will be made through an LC. I’ll explain the procedure and ensure everything goes smoothly.
Yes, Manami, we’re aware of the LC process. We’ve used it for previous imports. Could you send me the terms and conditions along with your bank details?
Of course. I will send over the detailed terms and conditions for the LC transaction, as well as our bank details. Once we receive the confirmed LC, we can begin processing the shipment of the Suzuki Altos to Sri Lanka. I’ll guide you through each step to ensure everything is in order.
A few days later, the LC is successfully confirmed, and the cars are shipped to Sri Lanka. Manami informs Yumi about the successful deal.
Yumi, the LC transaction for the Suzuki Alto shipment has been successfully completed, and the cars are on their way to Sri Lanka. It all went smoothly, and Akash is very pleased with the process.
That’s great news, Manami! I’m glad everything worked out. Thank you so much for handling it. You’ve really saved the day.
Anytime, Yumi. It’s all part of the job. The important thing is that the deal went smoothly, and the buyer is happy. I’m looking forward to more successful deals like this one.
The shipment of Suzuki Altos arrives in Sri Lanka. Akash is satisfied with the condition of the vehicles and the smooth transaction.
Manami, the cars have arrived in Sri Lanka! Everything is in perfect condition, and the transaction was seamless. I’ll definitely be looking forward to future business with you.
I’m glad to hear that, Akash! It’s been a pleasure working with you. Let me know when you’re ready for the next shipment. We’re always here to help with your imports.
Yumi’s sister, Manami, steps in to handle the complex LC transaction for the Sri Lankan buyer, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and the cars are shipped successfully.
