Letter of Inent

The Russian and the British participants in the negotiating are at the headquarters of the “Parma Controls Services” company. Mr. Popov, the Head of Overseas Sales Division of this company presides.

Mr. Popov:

Well, gentlemen, it looks as if our talks are coming to an end. It seems to me that we`ve already discussed all the questions of interest for  both of our companies. Do you agree with that , Mr. Lewis?

Mr. Lewis:

Yes, I do. And if I understand you correctly, your suggestion is to move on summing up the results of our work by preparing and signing a legally valid document.

Mr. Popov:

You are quite correct. And generally speaking, there are two ways for us to do it properly from the technical point of view, as you know. The first is to make out a full-sized contract right now and the other one is to sign a letter of intent as an interim step paving the way to the contact in the nearest future. Honestly, I am in favor of a letter of intent. And what about you, gentlemen?

Mr. Lewis:

That’s just the way how we see the situation too. I’m of opinion that a letter of intent format may enable us of making some preliminary and at the same time absolutely essential trials prior to a full-sized contractual cooperation. In addition, a latter of intent will actually make it possible for us to weigh all pros and cons of the contract. To my mind we have to act as it is recommended by the well-known saying: ”Score twice before you cut once”.

Mr. Popov:

I’m pleased that you share the opinion of my colleagues and me. I think we’ve both got a good idea of each other’s capabilities and experience. Nevertheless it’s no good to rush into signing a contract right away. And in this instance I’d like to back up Mr. Lewis by referring to another well-known English saying:  “Only fools rush in to where angels fear to tread.” So the next step for us, as I see it, is to start working initially on the basis of a letter of intent, to see how things go. That’s why we’ve prepared a draft of such king of document. Would you mind looking through it? (He hands over the copies of the draft document to Mr. Lewis and Mr. Crow, who set to reading it).
