Abstract
This paper explains that the generally accepted rule for banks that have issued a letter of credit, is that they do not need to look beyond the face of the documents to determine if a transaction involves fraud. The author points out that, if the documents on their face appear to be conforming documents, the bank will draw down the letter of credit, paying the beneficiary or seller. The paper states that, if the buyer can show apparent fraud before the bank pays on the letter of credit, then the buyer can approach the bank to prevent payment and can seek an injunction from a court if necessary. The author stresses that the bank can insist that all documents necessary to fulfill the letter of credit conform strictly. The paper presents cases and includes quotations.
From the Paper
"This essay considers the following scenario: In an international sales contract, buyer and seller agree that payment will be made through the use of a letter of credit. The buyer obtains a letter of credit from the bank, designating the seller as the beneficiary, and specifying the documents the seller must present to satisfy the letter. The seller presents documents which are on their face sufficient to warrant payment. These documents are forged or otherwise contain falsified information. Based on the documents, the bank pays the seller pursuant to the terms of the letter of credit."

Abstract
This study defines and describes the payment mechanism of the letter of credit, its usage and importance in international financing, as well as the contribution of this financial tool to the risk reduction in commercial and non-commercial transactions. This paper is concluded by the ending thoughts of the author regarding the above mentioned topic.
Outline:
Definition of the Term Letter of Credit
Importance in International Transactions
Letter of Credit Reduces Risk in Commercial Transactions
From the Paper
"The letter of credit is used by many commercial players in the world market, especially for the individual advantages and benefits it brings. From the seller's point of view, the letter of credit promotes certainty that all the conditions mentioned in the import-export contract are integrally observed, within the established period and the amounts stipulated in the documentation. The Seller may also offer the buyer a supplier credit, having a specific financing method: the submitted documentation is discounted under the particular export letter of credit - in this way, the payment will be made by the payer's bank soon after the date of the shipment, and not on maturity like in the usual case. In case the exporter is an intermediary among an international transaction, it can transfer the letter of credit to other subcontractors, or can cede the encashment resulted from this particular payment instrument. The importer has the certainty that the payment is realized only if the shipment of merchandise is performed only in the stipulated conditions, as these conditions must be demonstrated using the documents submitted by the exporter."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the basic assumptions and thesis of Sarah Grimke's Letters on the Equality of the Sexes. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which the letters were written, and then to discuss the principal lines of argument that Grimke uses to develop her ideas about the perceived need to end the subjection of women.
To understand the development of Grimke's ideas of women's emancipation, it is useful to realize the social environment in which she wrote. The 1830s and 1840s in America were well within the first half-century of American society as such. Popular knowledge of the period is that there were a good deal of illiteracy, a good deal of activity, a good deal of experimentation at the cultural level, as American life found its own--i.e., non-European--roots. Slavery was a part of that..."

Keats' Letters Regarding Poetry and Life, 2002.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The first section focuses upon Keats' letters with regards to his ideas and attitudes reflected within his poetry. The second section analyzes what is described within the letters. It shows that the topics of the letters concern his life, character, family and critics as well as many other aspects of his career and life as a poet.
From the Paper
"Keats' letters are a series of letters to his family and friends, expressing his views upon a wide range of issues, not the least of which were literary, moral and philosophical. It is deemed obvious that from his letters creates a man who had so much to say but so little time and space to say it all, and this becomes clear as the letters stray from one subject to another. It is apparent in many of his letters that his ideas are not fully developed and the reader can easily see his thoughts and ideas taking shape as he gropes for the right words. Within these letters Keats shows his mind at word as he grappled with his ideas about poetry, about the actual nature of a poet and the obvious relationships between poetry, reality, philosophy and most importantly feelings. He also had the ability to conjure up amazing imagery and phrases within his letters."

?Chopin?s Letters?, 2005.
Reviews the book, "Chopin's Letters", edited by Henryk Opienski.

Abstract
"Chopin's Letters", edited by Henryk Opienski, was first published in 1973. The paper shows that the compiled text provides a fuller and more humanizing portrait of the composer Chopin's life over the course of his time in Europe during the 1830s and 1840s than had previously existed for aficionados of Chopin's music. The paper shows that most of the text is drawn from Chopin's letters of this ten-year period, simply because more letters survive from this period of the composer's life.
From the Paper
"The reader does understand why aristocratic approval was so important to Chopin, even if Sand did not. One of the strengths of the book is that enough letters remain from Chopin's early life to give the book some continuity and perspective on the composer's later opinions. Chopin first came to Europe from Warsaw, Poland when he was seventeen years old. He was already famed for his prowess on the piano and talent at composing music. He sought aristocratic patronage and approval, like many composers of slender means and massive talent had in the past, to support his livelihood and to justify leaving his family and homeland."

Amerigo Vespucci?s Letters, 2004.
A detailed discussion about whether Amerigo Vespucci?s letters were authentic or forgeries and yellow journalism.
3,850 words (approx. 15.4 pages), 3 sources, MLA, AU$ 152.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes the very real possibility that Amerigo Vespucci did not write all of the copy in the published letters that were attributed to him. The paper contends that Vespucci may have originally written portions of those letters, but their final form was likely edited and blatantly expanded upon by unscrupulous individuals seeking profit rather than the promotion of legitimate history.
From the Paper
"Indeed, in the first place, Vespucci most certainly did not, and in particular, this paper attempts to show, could not have penned the frequently tawdry and lewd-laced letters that were attributed to him. Moreover, beyond the sex-saturated, kinky copy mixed in with the quasi-anthropological information in his letters, there are so many inconsistencies in style and reporting the letters smack of falseness. If Vespucci didn?t write ? or final edit ? the letters as they exist today, then who did?"

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper provides a brief overview of Louise Amelia Knapp Smith Clappe's series of letters presented in booklet form entitled The Shirley Letters from the California Mines. In this article, the writer examines the central question of whether or not Shirley, given her esoteric education and background, is particularly well suited to the task of assessing the relative merits and demerits of rugged gold prospectors in 1850s Rich Bar California.
From the Paper
"There is little doubt that Dame Shirley is far too removed socially, culturally, educationally, from the proletarian male miners surrounding her to be an accurate chronicler of them or their world. This becomes immediately apparent on only the third page of the text when Shirley writes rhetorically, "How did such a shivering, frail, home-loving little thistle ever float safely to that far away spot, and take root....in that barbarous soil?". She describes her impecunious husband's office as being a "perfect marvel" to the ragged miners. Making little - if any - effort to understand the depressed socio-economic realities of her new world, she notes with disdain that, "you have no idea of the hand to mouth sort of style in which most men in this country are in the habit of living"."

Secret Letters in "Sense and Sensibility", 2005.

Abstract
The topics of letter-writing and the impact of the city of London are not as frequently covered as other subjects in Jane Austen's novels. This paper examines the effect that secret letters and the sisters' trip to town have in moving the plot forward and the growth of their character development.
From the Paper
"The impact of London scenes and hidden letters is strongest in Sense and Sensibility, but Austen also uses hints of these devices in other works. It was originally an epistolary work: the fact that Austen chose to retain some of these letters when rewriting a draft originally composed entirely of letters shows the significance of the remaining few. Another epistolary novel, Lady Susan, foreshadows the connection between London and secrets as "most of Lady Susan's sixteen letters go to her friend Mars Johnson in London. In these, she tells her friend everything that she hides from the Vernons" (Bloom 51). Emma also shows the importance of secrecy to the plot: it's like "a great detective story, and it has claims to be the first of that genre . . . the novel certainly has at its heart a secret" (Lane 127)."

Abstract
This paper looks at the use of rhetoric in King's "Letters from a Birmingham Jail." The paper discusses the major elements of appeal to logic, emotion and ethics, with detailed examples to support each style. This paper other further mentions other rhetorical elements in the context of supporting these basic elements.
From the Paper
"In Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," he writes to his fellow religious leaders, ministers and clergymen who had written an open letter asking him and his fellow civil rights activists to stop demonstrating. He writes using incredibly powerful language and demonstrating elegant and precise rhetorical skills. King uses a wide variety of rhetorical techniques, primarily taking the form of an Aristotelian deliberative oratory. His focus is examining the question of whether or not civil rights activists should discontinue their direct actions of civil disobedience for the sake of maintaining order and the status quo, or whether they had an obligation to God and justice for all to continue. King, of course, argues that not only is he right for doing what he has been doing, but that there is a civil, moral, logical and ethical imperative to do so."

Abstract
This paper studies discusses Etty Hillesum's Auschwitz diary as well as letters she had written to people that are included in the book. The author finds that her story is a remarkable and tragic one and her diary describes her everyday life in a very optimistic and surprising way as she wrote about her love life and her simple adventures and did not fill her diary with hate for the Nazis but only with hope and optimism.
From the Paper
"Etty Hillesum was a Dutch Jew from Amsterdam. Her life might have been unremarkable and her story might never have been told had she not been an aspiring writer. Through these letters and diary entries, I watched a young woman in her mid and late twenties for almost three years until she died at Auschwitz in 1943. Her book begins about nine months after Hitler?s Germany invaded the Netherlands. In addition to her diary, she wrote letters to her loved ones from Westerbork Detention Camp, where Jews were confined before being taken to the death camps. ?If I have one duty in these times,? she asserted, ?it is to bear witness. Etty Hillesum wrote about the little things in her life, like eating breakfast. She also wrote the same things that all young women write about ? men and romance. Considering her circumstances, I expected that much of her day was spent anticipating her empty future and contemplating when she was going to die. Her optimism and her gentle spirit, particularly under these dire circumstances, were astonishing."
