XIAOLING TRADE CO.,LTD NO.11 ZHONGSHAN STREET XIAMEN FUJIAN CHINA SALES CONFIRMATION Dear Sirs, [打印预览][保存][退出]
销货合同(Sales Confirmation) 国际货物买卖合同一般金额大，内容繁杂，有效期长，因此许多国家的法律要求采用书面形式。书面合同主要有两种形式，即正式合同（CONTRACT）和合同确认书（CONFIRMATION），虽然其繁简不同，但具有同等法律效力，对买卖双方均有约束力。大宗商品或成交额较大的交易，多采用正式合同；而金额不大，批数较多的小土特产品或轻工产品，或者已订立代理、包销等长期协议的交易多采用合同确认书（亦称简式合同）。 无论采哪种形式，合同抬头应醒目注明SALES CONTRACT或SALES CONFIRMATION（对销售合同或确认书而言）等字样。一般来说出口合同的格式都是由我方（出口公司）事先印制好的，因此有时在SALES CONFIRMATION之前加上出口公司名称或是公司的标志等（我外贸公司进口时也习惯由我方印制进口合同）。交易成立后，寄交买方签署（countersign），作为交易成立的书面凭据。 在SimTrade中，买卖双方都可以起草合同，填写时只需将名称、地址等内容作相应变化既可。如合同由买方起草时，上方空白栏则填入进口商公司名称及地址，以此类推。 报表上方两行空白栏 为出口商公司抬头，须分别填写出口商的英文名称及地址。 如：GRAND WESTERN FOODS CORP. Room2501, Jiafa Mansion, Beijing West road, Nanjing 210005, P. R. China Messrs 详细填列交易对象（即进口商）的名称及地址。 在SimTrade中，进口商的详细资料请在“淘金网”的公司库里查询。 如：Dynasty Furniture Manufacturing Ltd. 3344-54th Avenue S. E. Calgary, Alberta T2C OAS Canada No. 销货合同编号，由卖方自行编设，以便存储归档管理之用。 在SimTrade中，该编号已由卖方在起草合同时填入，单据中不能再更改。 Date 填写销货合同制作日期。 如：2005年2月18日，可以有以下几种日期格式填法： 1. 2005-02-18或02-18-2005 2. 2005/02/18或02/18/2005 3. 050218（信用证电文上的日期格式） 4. February 18, 2005或Feb 18, 2005 Product No. 填写货号，销货合同上应记明各种货物编号，以求联系沟通方便。 在SimTrade中，货号必须选择“淘金网”的“产品展示”里已有的商品编号。 Description

补充协议英文版 前言：合同是民事主体之间设立、变更、终止民事法律关系的协议。依法成立的合同，受法律保护。本文档根据合同内容要求和特点展开说明，具有实践指导意义，便于学习和使用，本文档下载后内容可按需编辑修改及打印。 在翻译一个补充合同进行搜索相关资源时，发现了这篇博文，觉得作者对于英文补充协议的起草分析的挺不错，转来分享。一般来说对于合同的小修改，没有必要重新签订合同，重新签订都是费时费力，也没有必要，所以都用补充协议对原合同进行修改。如果对合同改变重大的话，比如对方想换个姊妹公司来签合同，或者合同条款有多处重大变更，可以说从根本上改变了合同的内容，都可以重新签订合同的。重新签订合同有两种方式。一种是交出所有原合同的原件，然后废除，撕毁都可以，然后再签订新合同；如果对合同原件到底有多少份不清楚的话，保险起见可以先起草一个对原合同的终止协议，然后再签新合同。当然如果为了做到天衣无缝，两个合同之间权责无缝转移的话，我自己使用过这种模式，不用撕毁原合同或者起草终止协议，先在新合同中写终止原合同，一般写新合同生效后原合同立即终止，在新合同未生效前原合同保持有效。然后在新合同上盖上三种章，第一种是原合同的对方的章，第二种是新合同的对方的章，第三种是我方的章，这样操作有个缺点

Most students admit to having learned in junior high school or in high school about writing business letters and about conventional formats1 for them．When it comes down to writing them，however，all too many students seem not to know how and to be unwilling2 to look up the forms （or perhaps they don't have a reference about using English）．This web page was prepared so that you would have an easily obtained description of what to do．When a business that has letterhead stationery3 writes a business letter，the first page of the letter uses paper with the printed letterhead and succeeding pages，if any，use matching quality and color sheets without the letterhead．A business with very good quality printing might generate the letterhead graphic4 with an image embedded5 in a word processor document．An individual normally won't use letterhead stationery and won't attempt to fake it．An attempt at letterhead that produces a tacky result or that conveys pompousness6 produces effects that you want to avoid．In a business letter，everything that you "type" should be in the same typeface and in the same font size．You should use "formal English" and you should very carefully check your grammar and spelling．You should arrange things neatly8．You should consider the appearance of the letter "at arm's length" as well as close up －－use white space to produce an attractive sheet．In a conventional business letter you should see these parts，in order top to bottom： A return addressThis item is the postal9 address of the author of the letter．Each line of it is left justified10－－either at a tab stop that puts the information toward the right side of the page or at the left margin11．Normally the return address is at the top of the page，but you can move it down a little to improve over－all appearance．Do not put email addresses here －－if you need to convey an email address，do it in the body of the letter．The dateThis item is the date of the letter．It is aligned12 with the return address．Formerly13 there was never whitespace （blank lines）between the return address and the date，but some current styles allow blank lines．An inside addressThis item duplicates what goes on the envelope．It has the formal name of the intended recipient14 of the letter and that person's postal address．Each line of the inside address is left justified at the left margin．No email addresses appear here．You can put blank lines between the date and the inside address to fill the page better and to improve the "arm's length" appearance．A salutationThis item formally addresses the recipient．If the addressee is not a friend，you should write "Dear Mr．Brown：" or "Dear Mrs．Smith：" or "Dear Ms．Jones：" or "Dear Dr．Greene：" or the like．A letter to a close associate might say "Dear Mike：" or "Dear Sally："．There is at least one line of white space between the inside address and the salutation．You can put a little more to improve the over－all appearance．Before the days of political correctness a letter to an organization would begin "Dear Sir：" or "Dear Sirs：" or "Gentlemen：" －－for example，if the envelope were addressed "Personnel Director，XYZ Company，City，State" you might do this．These days you should probably make an effort to get a name，but．．．The body of
