   HAVE BEEN QUOTED TWENTY                      SEVEN      THOUSAND       POUND
STERLING STOP SHOULD WE BUY

      5.3.5 The word stop

    Although there can be full stops in telegrams and cables, sentences are often
    broken up with the word stop. Occasionally, however, the word stop can create
    confusion if the cable is carelessly worded.

      5.3.6. The word repeat

   This word is often used in cables to emphasize a negative:
DO NOT REPEAT NOT SEND ORDER 18551
   OR to emphasize an important detail:
FLIGHT DELAYED BY SIX REPEAT SIX HOURS

      5.3.7 Abbreviations

    You can use abbreviations in cables, e.g/ L/C (letter of credit), B/L (bill of
    lading) etc., but you must make sure that they are internationally recognized.

      5.3.8 Brief but clear

     Economy of words saves money, but if too few words are used, the message
becomes confused and will cost more money in the long run. For example, if you
received this message from.
                                                                                85
