REPLY TO FIRST REQUEST

Dear Richard
I was surprised to receive your letter of

REPLY TO FIRST REQUEST Dear Richard I was surprised to receive your
20 November in which you said you had not received payment for invoice No.H931.
I instructed my bank, The Welsh Co-operative Bank, Swansea, to credit your account in Barnley’s Bank, Cardiff, with the $919.63 on 2nd November.
As my bank statement showed the money had been debited to my account, I assumed that it had been credited to your account as well. It is possible that your bank has not advised you yet. Could you please check this with Barnley’s, and if there are any problems let me know, so that I can make enquiries here?
Yours sincerely

First let me apologize for not

Reply to the second reminder Dear Sr Costello First let me apologize
having cleared June statement or replying to your letter of August. However, I am surprised that you did not receive our circular letter informing all our suppliers that we were moving from Milan to Turin. I have checked our post book, and find that a letter was sent to you on June 30.
As you will see from the copy enclosed, we warned suppliers that there might be some delay in clearing accounts and replying to correspondence as the move would involve employing new staff who needed time to get used to our accounts and filing systems.
You will be pleased to hear that we have now settled into our new offices and will have a fully trained staff by the end of next month. Meanwhile, I am enclosing a cheque for $20,000 on account, and will send a full settlement of your June statement within the next few days.
Could you please note our new address for future reference?
Yours sincerely
