鉴于雇主欲请劳动力建造伊拉克巴格达的高层住宅综合大楼;
WHEREAS the Contractor is desirous to provide the manpower for the Works;
鉴于承包人想为此工程提供劳动力;
二、WITNESS 证明
在合同前文中常用作首句的谓语动词:
This Agreement, made by ……
WITNESSES
WHEREAS……, it is agreed as follows:
本协议由……签订证明:鉴于……特此达成协议如下:
IN WITNESS WHEREOF 作为所协议事项的证据,该短语常用于合同的结尾条款:
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Contract in duplicate by their duly authorized representatives on the date first above written.
作为所协议事项的证据,双方授权代表于上面首次写明的日期正式签订本协议一式两份。
