Dear Mr Klinov,

We have received your letter 56/GH of February 22, 2011 for which we thank you.

However, we are to inform you that we cannot accept the cargo to be loaded in the tanker ROSNEFT with position for March owing to storage congestion at our refinery.

We would be obliged to you if you could suspend deliveries and nominate another tanker with position for April, amending the shipping program accordingly. We express our agreement to your not maintaining the original delivery estimates.

We are ready to extend the LC upon your confirmation of the amendments.

Looking forward to your early reply, we remain.

Yours sincerely,

Ellen M.Morgan

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for your cooperation in insuring the goods under Contract 56-87.

In two weeks we shall be forwarding a new consignment of accessories to refrigerators to APG, Hamburg, with whom we have a CIF contract.

We would like to know if you could cover us to the extent of $32,000, the value of the consignment, with the policy coming into effect immediately after the goods leave our possession.

The accessories will, of course, be packed in accordance with the usual fragile cargo requirements and dispatched in 3 crates, each weighing approximately 500 kg. They will be loaded on board the MV Kapitan Borisov of the Blue Sea Line, which is scheduled to leave Kaliningrad docks on October 15, 2011 for Hamburg. There the goods will be collected by our Consignee at the Blau Warehouse.

We would be grateful if you could quote urgently for the insurance of this shipment against all risks, warehoused and in transit.

Yours faithfully,

V.Sidorov
