Dear Sirs,
We are a large steel company and wish to export a consignment of steel tubing,
approximate weight 16 tonnes, and lengths varying from 2 to 5 metres.
The consignment is destined for Dortner Industries, Hamburg. Could you pick up
the load, transport it to London from Sheffield, and then deliver it to its destination
in Germany by the April 28th?
Please let us have details of your sailings and freight charges, and we can promise
you regular shipments if you quote a competitive rate.

Yours, faithfully,

                                     Air Waybill

    The air waybill is a document of carriage which is issued by airlines to
shippers of cargo. The air waybill, as distinct from the bill of lading, is not a
document of title. The document often travels forward with the goods allowing
immediate release of the goods into the consignee's charge for subsequent customs
clearance and delivery. The air waybill has several purposes:
         1) It is evidence of a contract of carriage.
         2) It proves receipt of goods for shipment.
         3) It is a freight bill.
The Warsaw Convention requires that the air waybill is completed in at least three
parts:
         1) for the carrier (signed by the consignor);
         2) for the consignee (signed by the consignor and carrier);
         3) for the consignor (signed by the carrier).
