We will need a LOI (Letter of Intent) to get things started. Address it to “End Seller” since my partner is the Mandate. Good for you no long daisy chains!
You know the basic information Quantities wanted. Where shipment is going (Port) and if you are want the contract longer than 1 year. Since 1 year (x12) is minimum on contracts.
Remember the LOI is a non-binding document on YOUR companies Letterhead, dated with signature requesting just the information about your intentions. No financial nor personal information asked for.
If you want to include Banking/financial information then make it complete and also send your authorization for seller to do a soft probe for Proof of Funds or send your Bank Comfort Letter (BCL) on Bank Letterhead and authorization for seller to do a soft probe.
