A letter of credit is issued on the request of the importer, but usually when credit is established by cable no letter of credit is issued. 信用状乃依进口商的请示而开立,但通常以电报开发信用状时,就不必另开信用状了。
On the 26th inst., we receive your cable of the same date read as follows: "credit mail to London". 同月26日收到贵方当日来电,电文如下:信用证已航空邮寄伦敦。
