Firstly, we highly appreciate your long support and cooperation with***.
As you may know, the mysterious pneumonia virus which emerged from a live animal market in China’s central city of Wuhan last month, has now infected far too many people, over too vast a geographic area all over China, even spread by travelers to the other countries including Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, South Korea, Thailand and etc.
Wuhan government has shut down flights, ferries, highways, and trains leaving Wuhan, as well as public transportation in the city. Many other cities here have also issued travel restrictions. Besides, our central government is working on further restriction policies to control the flow of the people, who have, are, and might get infected. There is no doubt that there will be severe influence/delay especially to the construction work after the lunar new year holiday here.
Therefore, we have to claim Force Majeure according to relevant terms in our contract(s), and hereby officially notify you that, due to the nationwide infectious epidemic, we are unable to perform our obligations under the following contract(s):
