Dear Mr. Amin,

Thank you very much for your letter of April 22 and your order.

In common with other suppliers, we have raised our price since you placed an order with us last year, but you will be pleased to hear that we will supply your current order at the old price. I enclose our new catalogue and price list, which contain several exciting new products and our latest prices.

I will keep you fully informed of the progress of your order. If you would like to get in touch with me urgently, our new fax number is 5473421 or, of course, you may prefer to phone or telex me as before.

Dear Mr. Shang

I am writing to you concerning Order No.FD134, which you placed 2 weeks ago. At that time we expected to be able to complete the order well before the delivery date we promised which was 20th July, but we were told yesterday that our main supplier had a serious financial problem. This means that we have to find another supplier who could fulfill all the outstanding contracts we have to carry out. As you will appreciate, this will take some time, but we are confident that we should be able to get our materials and deliver consignments to our customers by the middle of next month.

The units themselves have been assembled and now simply need completing. We regret this unfortunate situation over which we had no control and apologize for the inconvenience. If you wish to cancel the order, it would be quite understandable, but we stress that we will be able to complete delivery by the en of next month.
