Dear

The merchandise that we ordered from you on March 27th,
was delivered on May 17th, which was two days after our
sale had ended.  What is most regrettable, is the fact
that I believe if we had the merchandise on hand for the
sale, we could have sold three or four cases.

I understand that you were experiencing some internal
problems during this period.  I am, however, unwilling to
keep the six cases that were just delivered due to the
delay.  Two cases will suffice for now and I would
appreciate it if you would have someone call for the
remainder and credit my account accordingly.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
