Dear Mr. Harrisson,

I am writing to complain about a shipment of office furniture we _______ yesterday against our invoice no. G 3190/1.

The crates ________ on the outside, and looked as if they had been roughly handled. When we _______ them, we ________ that some of the chair legs were bent and rusty, and the fabric on the seating ________, or _________ signs of wear.

Two further crates from the consignment __________ yet, so we ________ the opportunity of inspecting them. I ________ the shipping company that we cannot accept this consignment from you, and they ________ your insurers.

As we will be unable to retail this consignment in our stores, we are returning the shipment to you carriage forward, and we shall expect a full refund.

Yours sincerely,

C. R. Mendez

Managing Director

Mr. Belov: Would you like some coffee?

Mr. Carrington: Yes, please. Well, Mr. Belov, we’ve received your draft contract. It’s quite acceptable, but I’d like to clarify some points.

Mr. Belov: What are they?

Mr. Carrington: First of all, I must say your CIF terms of delivery don’t suit us.

Mr. Carrington: That would be much better.

Mr. Belov: I think we will be able to change the terms of delivery. But I’ll have to contact my people and discuss this matter with them.

Mr. Carrington: That’s fine. And now let’s get down to the delivery dates. They aren’t quite suitable.

Mr. Belov: We are able to deliver the equipment within 10 months from the date of signing the contract.

Mr. Carrington: Oh, but could you reduce the delivery period to 8 months? It’s very important.

Mr. Belov: I think we can arrange it and you won’t have to take part the way, would you like to visit our manufacturing plant and see the equipment in operation?

Mr. Carrington: With pleasure.

Mr. Belov: Then one of our engineers will meet you at the hotel at 10 tomorrow.

Mr. Carrington: That will be fine. Thank you. See you tomorrow.

Mr. Belov: Good-bye, Mr. Carrington.
