The Jameson Construction Co. open the L/C by writing to their bankers, The General Bank of South Africa, Durban, giving full instruc­tions, or by using a form something like that printed on page 116. That bank then notifies the credit to their branch in London. Meanwhile, The Aluminium Alloy Co. Ltd. receives the order and acknowledges it:

À ñîðó ofthe form used by The Jameson Construction Co. is mean­while sent by the branch of The General Bank of South Africa in Durban to the London branch of this bank to authorise the opening of the credit.

The next step is, of course, for the London branch of The General Bank of South Africa to advise The Aluminium Alloy Co. that the credit is available (i.e. to confirm the credit). Here again, a form may be used. If, however, advice is by letter it would read something like this:
