Please read the following carefully and take notice of the details ....

If you send a mail, send one single mail for one single inquiry. If you have several
inquiries, please send separate mails. Please include all important information
ALWAYS INCLUDE OUR OFFER IN YOUR REPLY along with (buyer/seller details,
exact specification, amount & period, target price if any, payment, destination,
conditions if any....) Please don't ask for prices or ANY changes to the sellers Soft
Offer without an official LOI. If you don't know the details please check first with your
buyer before contacting us If you send a document, please send in one mail only
the documents for one project. If you create PDF-files, please include only one
document in one file... (NOT 5 documents for three different projects in one file....!!!!)
Please check up front all documents for logical and other mistakes... Please help us
save time that we need less time to work on each inquiry.....Thank you for
understanding .....
To be able to proceed, we always need a detailed LOI, issued by the buyer.
This is not because we love paperwork. This is to save time and to work efficiently.
A professional LOI contains ALL information being essential for a professional and fast
response.
Immediately it is clear to be seen,
-who wants to buy or sell what (including specification),
-under which conditions
-in which amount(s)
-for which (target-)price
-with which procedure
-under which payment terms
-with which payment instrument(s)
-for which destination (of which origin)
-by using which bank(s)
-for which timeframe
-on seller's or buyer's ORIGINAL letterhead
-a letter of intent is not a contract, it is the perfect description of interest only so seller can
refuse or issue the Full Corporate Offer (FCO)

PLEASE
Our company policy is to communicate only through email ONLY so files can be maintained
having all communications in writing avoids any miscommunication and allows us to easily
refer to communications kept in file . Skype is great but allows buyer or seller to come back
later and say they misunderstood some point . We wish to avoid all the Oh but she said or he
said situations if in writing no come back by any party !!
Don't ....... Don't ask for photos, if not supplied in Sellers Soft Offer. We are not a photo-
agency and they aren't worth sending as they proof of nothing.
Don't ask for a "past performance" as it says nothing about the seller's ability to supply
tomorrow.
Don't ask for pricing or changes without a buyer's LOI......
Don't ask for a FCO without having a positive response to your buyer's LOI.
Don't believe that the sending of a LOI automatically causes the sending of a FCO or draft
contract.
Don't send a mail and ask 5 min later, whether it arrived and we have worked on it.......
Don't think we are machines that do not need to sleep, eat....
Don't believe there are no weekends in Thailand or public Holidays when offices are closed
(...Saturdays and Sundays...)
Don't think we had no other person besides you to talk to ..... (your inquiry is important for us,
but it is NOT the only we are busy with....)
Don't think that deals about several millions of USD are closed within minutes, hours or a day
......
Don't start an inquiry by telling what commission you have to get .... (no contract closed - no
commission - no discussion)....
(to be continued..... )
... Like our "don'ts" there are some "no's" as well ...... - no table-top-meeting
- no trial shipments (only "spot" or "annual")
- no deal after a buyer's contract
- no Performance Bond before payment instrument
- no payment @ destination port (only @ loading port)
- no (loading port-)visit before payment instrument
