50 信用证收款

Emma: Alex, I have some problems. I wonder if you can do me a favor.
Alex: Yes, what’s the matter?
Emma: You know I’m new in the company. And I’m unsure how to collect payment from Matthew Brown. We’ve already effected shipment.
Alex: Generally speaking, you should start with documentation. The bank which holds the Letter of Credit usually asks for some documents. Therefore, you should prepare them accordingly.
Emma: What documents do they require?
Alex: They usually need to see the Draft, Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, Insurance Policy and Beneficiary’s Certificate.
Emma: Does it mean we need to prepare and send the documents to the bank ahead of time?
Alex: Yes. The earlier you prepare the documents, the more time you will have to get things right.
Emma: And then?
Alex: Then, the bank will examine the documents. If there’s no problem, they will settle the account right away.
Emma: It’s getting clearer now. Thank you.
Alex: You’re welcome!
艾玛：亚历克斯，我有一些问题。我想知道您是否可以帮我一个忙？
亚历克斯：可以，怎么回事？
艾玛：您知道我是公司的新人。我不确定如何向马修·布朗收取款项。我们已经发货了。
亚历克斯：一般来说，你应该从准备文件开始。持有信用证的银行通常会要求提供一些文件。因此，你应该相应地进行准备。
艾玛：他们需要哪些文件？
亚历克斯：他们通常需要查看汇票、发票、装箱单、提单、原产地证书、保险单和受益人证明。
艾玛：这是否意味着我们需要提前准备并将文件发送给银行？
亚历克斯：对。你准备文件的时间越早，就越有时间把事情做好。
艾玛：然后呢？
亚历克斯：然后，银行将检查文件。如果没有问题，他们会立即结算账户。
艾玛：现在我明白了。谢谢。
亚历克斯：不客气！
