Question 1-5:

May 22

Dear Mr. Washington,

I am writing to complain about the late delivery of the computer set I ordered at the end of April. The customized video display terminals were supposed to be delivered by May 16. I requested to have the order shipped on or before May 10. You assured me that the set would be delivered within 6 days. However, they arrived 3 days late and I faced considerable difficulty with my work due to the delay.

Sincerely,

Timothy Macquire

Director

Computer Science Department

Dear Mr. Macquire,

Thank you for writing us about your dissatisfaction concerning the delay in receiving your customized video display terminals (our invoice #CP-80-1200). The delay, however, was not caused at our end. As specified in your purchase order of April 28, we shipped via Fexter - a logistics company that you selected. The terminals were actually picked up on May 10, as you can see from the attached air bill (Fexter #55-MC9908). Also, you can find shipping details on your order in our order tracking service and see where the delay occurred at our website www.comtechpro.com.

From what I see, it appears that Fexter is responsible for the delay. Please let me know if I may help further in this matter.

Sincerely,

James R. Washington
