Dear Mr Toda,
AWB 4156/82
We are writing to point out that the above delivery, which arrived yesterday, was a week
late. This is the second time we have had to write to you on this subject, and we cannot
allow the situation to continue. We have already explained that it is essential for medical
equipment to arrive on the due date as late delivery could create a very serious problem.
Unless we have an absolute assurance that you can guarantee the promptness of all future
deliveries, we will have to look for another supplier. We will want your confirmation before
we place our next order.
Yours sincerely,
Carlo Lotti
Head of Administration
(B) Write the letter from Mr Hirio Toda, the Sales Manager of the above company, to Mr
Lotti, politely explaining that the orders were sent to your factory address, not your
administrative address, as above, and explain what that means in terms of delay. However,
sympathize with Mr Lotti and suggest a solution to the problem.
Dear Mr Lotti,
Consignment no. AWB 4156/82
Thank you for your letter of 15 June, in which you pointed out a late delivery on the above
consignment.
We certainly understand how important prompt deliveries are to the institutions that use our
products. However, the two orders you mentioned were sent to our factory, which delayed
forwarding.
We should like to remind you that all correspondence should be sent to our administrative
offices at the above address.
We realize that Japanese addresses may cause some difficulties, and are therefore enclosing a
supply of address labels which you can affix to all your correspondence with us.
