Country A (a foreign country that is boycotting Country B, another foreign country) has ordered goods from ABC, a U.S. corporation. Country A has opened a letter of credit with Overseas, Inc., a foreign bank. The letter of credit specifies that ABC must certify that it does not do business with Country B. Overseas, Inc., sends a telegram to First National Bank, a U.S. bank, stating the major terms and conditions of the letter of credit and asking First National Bank to confirm the letter of credit.

A) First National Bank must confirm it if it previously agreed to do so.
B) First National Bank may advise ABC of the letter of credit and administer its disposal, but may not confirm it and must report it to the Department of Commerce and the IRS.
C) First National Bank may do nothing but return the letter of credit to the issuing bank and report to the IRS.
