取消定单的常用表达[qh]

在国际贸易过程中，由于种种原因，取消定单的事情时有发生，无法避免。作为卖方，肯定是不愿意碰到这样的事情，轻则生意减少，重则无法收回贷款、遭受经济损失。作为买方或中间代理商，取消定单的做法也必定是不得已而为之。但因定单在某种情况下具有法律效力，所以如若取消，务必要把握好时机，尽量减少对方经济损失，也同时减少自己需要承担的法律责任。在这个过程中，及时、有效的沟通就显得尤为重要。所以，下面就请大家学习几句取消定单时的常用表达。[qh]

① To my deep regret, the buyer of these goods has just cancelled the order, which compels me to cancel my order with you.[qh]
