Thank you for your letter and the photostat of your check,

through our records and pinpoint how this error occurred.

Please accept our apology for the letters we wrote under

advised in order to give you as much time as possible to
make alternate arrangements, if necessary. We can assure
you, however, that if your order remains in force we will
expedite delivery to you as soon as we have received the

Please accept our apology for this delay and thank you for
your understanding.

After reading your letter of [date] , I can thoroughly
understand why you are running out of patience.

While it would be easy to place the blame on our computer,
this poor fellow has received enough abuse since joining
our firm. After all, he only follows the orders that are
given to him. Therefore, please accept my apology for the
delay in refunding your money for [basis of adjustment]

Our bookkeeping department has been instructed to issue a
check to you at once, which you should be receiving within

You deserve an explanation for what went wrong in our
accounting department, and I hope that this letter will
serve to resolve our recent difficulties.

I know that you can appreciate the fact that it has
taken some time to find out exactly what occurred, and,
therefore, please accept our apologies for the delay in
this response.

Apparently, your payment was received in a timely fashion,
but it was credited to an account which bears a similar
name to yours. Therefore, we commenced sending you our
standard notices requesting payment, in keeping with our
routine policy. Even after the posting error was rectified,
our accounting department failed to notify our credit
department, which is why you continued to receive our
correspondence demanding payment.

I know how exasperating this has been for you and I am
deeply sorry that it has taken so long to straighten out
this problem. While there is a procedure within our firm
to preclude this type of error from occuring, we are
reinforcing this procedure.

You have been a valued customer of ours for a long time
and we appreciate your affording us the opportunity to serve
you. You may rest assured that this problem will not
surface again.

It was distressing to learn that the chocolate we shipped
to your firm last week arrived in bits and pieces. Per
your request, a new shipment for 30 lbs. left our dock this
morning and is scheduled for afternoon delivery to you on
May 26th. Please turn over the damaged goods to the driver
at the time of deliver.

I am sorry that this unfortunate incident occurred and
sincerely appreciate your continued patronage.

Dear

In deference to your valuable time, I would like to get
straight to the point and say that we were wrong.

Your purchase order clearly stated 30 cases. The shipment
of 60 cases was our error. Meanwhile, there are two
options available at this time; you can keep the
additional merchandise and we will bill you thirty days
from now, or we will arrange to have it picked up at your
loading dock and issue a credit to you. Please let me
know of your preference.

We will do everything in our power to ensure that this
type of error does not occur again. Thank you for your
understanding. If I can be of any assistance in any way,
please do not hesitate to call on me.

this cancellation and have taken the matter up with
management in order to ensure that a problem of this
