We have received the documents and taken delivery of the above order which arrived at Piraeus on the M.V. Victory.
On checking the goods we found that crate 17 contained only 40 computers, although 60 had been entered on both the packing list and the invoice.
The full consignment is urgently required to complete orders for two of our major customers so it is absolutely essential that you ship the additional 20 computers on the earliest possible flight from London.
This is the third time in the last twelve months that you have short-shipped one of our orders.
If there is any further repetition of this we will be forced to look for an alternative supplier.
Yours faithfully

Gentlemen:
Thank you for your delivery of dresses which were ordered on Nov. 4, 2009. However we wish to draw your attention to two matters.
1. Concerning the red dresses supplied: one lot of 100 (size 12) included clothes of a lighter red colour than the other sizes. We are returning them, and would ask you to replace the whole lot by 100 dresses (size 12) in the correct colour.
2. As far as your charges for air freight are concerned, we agree to pay the extra costs which you invoiced. However your costs for packing and insurance must have been lower for air cargo, and we request you to take this fact into consideration and to make an adjustment to the invoice amount. Would you please send us a corrected invoice, reduced accordingly.
We look forward to your dealing with these questions without delay.
Very truly yours.

Dear Sirs
We have heard from the British Embassy in Paris that you are producing for export hand-made shoes and gloves in natural materials.
There is a steady demand in France for high-quality goods of this type. Sales are not high, but a good price can be obtained for fashionable designs.
Will you please send us your catalogue and full details of your prices and terms of payment, together with samples of leathers used in your articles and, if possible, specimens of some of the articles themselves.
