Operations with currencies and shares

Exercise 1. Study the following letters. Translate the fourth letter in written form.

1. A bank to a currency broker concerning broking commission and opening exchange offices.

Dear Sir,

We thank you for the offer of your services as currency broker and also as our agent in the sphere of currency exchange.

You ask what our terms of cooperation and fees will be, and the answer is very simple: you will get minimum 5% broking commission on all the currency deals you conclude for us. We want to invite you to visit our bank to discuss it personally.

Your offer of opening two exchange bureaus has also seemed in­teresting to us, and we are likewise looking forward to discussing it with you in person.

Sincerely ...

4. Russian financial company to a foreign colleague about investing in Russian Eurobonds.

Moscow, Oct. 15, 2008 To Messrs. J.P. Morgan, New York

Dear Sirs,

Our company has considered it a privilege as well as a mutually beneficial business to work with you and we are glad that you share this opinion.

The request we have of you is the following. It is well-known to you as it is to us that the Russian government is preparing to market its Eu­robonds in the leading stock-markets of the world. Your company is one of the main organizers of the presentations of these Russian govern­ment bonds.

The Russian Deputy Finance Minister in charge of the matter has declared that about one quarter of this issue of Russian Eurobonds can be bought by Russian banks and financial structures — on the same conditions as they are bought by foreigners. This will give Rus­sian companies a chance to increase their experience of work with in­ternational financial bodies, to diversify their business, etc.

Unfortunately, words and deeds of the Russian government do not always coincide, and a deplorable double standard persists. Our com­pany is one of those Russian financial structures presumably referred to by the Deputy Finance Minister, and yet we haven been able even simply to get in touch with him or any of his subordinates invested with sufficient authority.

Therefore we shall be obliged to you:

  1. If you could take it upon yourself to supply us with all the necessary details concerning the selling of Russian Eurobonds, i.e. provide us with the some package you are giving your western partners.

  2. We should also be obliged if you advised in which of the pres­entations it is best for our representatives to take part. Next month the series of these presentations start in Tokyo and finish in New York, and we are prepared to send our people

to those of them which you consider the most promising and useful.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon, Sincerely ...
