Dear Sirs,
The order mentioned above was delivered to our warehouse 2
days after it arrived in Chicago 8th Jan. and we regret that we have to complain
about the conditions in which we received it.
In our order we stipulated
that we required four dozen of your men's suits pattern CS/7, and in your
invoice, No. CP/78, you charged us for this quantity, but it is clear that you
have packed only three dozen in Case 3, {{U}}(9) {{/U}}. We would
therefore appreciate an explanation and your prompt action to send us the
missing dozen suits.
Very much more serious is the condition of the
ladies' trousers suits that you packed in Case 2. Of the six dozen that this
case contains, {{U}}(10) {{/U}}. It is quite clear that this is solely
due to the totally inadequate way in which they had been packed for you had not
lined the case with any waterproof paper. {{U}}(11)
{{/U}}
{{U}}(12) {{/U}}, whereas in our order we had stated
that we required your pattern CS/9 which is stated in your catalogue as being
made up from heavy-weight material. There is no market here for tropical suits,
and so we must emphasize{{U}} (13) {{/U}}.
We must stress that
the mistakes that you have made in this first order we have placed with you have
caused considerable problems for us. We had hoped to include your products in
the Spring Sale that is due to open at the end of February, but as it is, it is
now clear that we shall not be able to do so. We wish to stress, therefore, that
unless you take immediate action to correct the mistakes that you have made,
{{U}}(14) {{/U}}.
We now expect your prompt reply.
Yours,
Faithfully
A. please correct all the mistakes as soon as
possible
B. that we expect you to replace these suits that have been wrongly
delivered with those we ordered without delay
C. we shall certainly not
consider further orders with you and shall report your company to the American
Trade Promotion Office in New York
D. and we think the price is a little bit
too high
E. forty have become very sodden in transit and most of these show
signs of rotting
F. we are also surprised that you appear to have sent us
three dozen lightweight gentlemen's suits in Case 1
G. we therefore expect
your prompt action to remedy this situation
H. and there is no sign of the
missing dozen in either Case 1 or 2
