Dear Thompson

I would like to apologize of the error made by our company in supplying your order number 9857/E dated 28thApril 2015.

You order 100 size-36 dresses (model no. 134) and our dispatch office sent only 10. This was due to an invoicing mistake.

You also informed us that the color of the dresses that you have recieved was not consistent. You mentioned that the colors of different dresses were slightly different shade of red, some being more of an orange color. You also said that one of the dress had two different shades, with the arms being lighter than the skirt.

We have told our clerk to be more careful with invoicing. We have also complained to the factory about the colors.

We have dispatched 100 new garments for Express Courier. They should arrive by monday, 4th june 2015.

To show our goodwill, we would like to offer you a 20% discount on your next order with us.

We look forwarding to receive your further orders, and assure you that they will be filled promptly.

Yours sincerely

Alice Chee

The Distribution Manager
