Dear Mr. Wiles:

I am writing to you regarding the order which you placed on 28 June.

I am very sorry that EQ Supplies made mistakes in the processing of your order.

 

Firstly, you placed your order with us at 10am on 28 June. Unfortunately, we had a problem with our computer system that afternoon, and we lost all our records of orders that day, including yours, until 30 June.

For this reason, there was a delay in processing your order.

 

Secondly, the orders administrator who took your order didn’t enter the correct information on the system, and so we delivered the wrong goods to you.

 

We are very sorry for the problems, and we would like to offer you a discount of 10% on your next order.

 

Yours sincerely,

Patricia Noakes
