Questions 186-189 refer to the following invoice and email reply
|
|
To:
jpowers@adamsinc.com
From: jsmcgraw@compupros.com Subject: Invoice no. 774 Dear Ms. Powers,
I
trust by now that you have received the invoice we sent (# 774) for the
services we provided earlier this
month for Adams Inc. If you have not received it yet, you will shortly.
I'd
like to call your attention to a mistake in the invoice. Per our contract, we
had agreed to waive our usual installation fee because you placed a bulk
order. However, I note that in the totals at the bottom, we have billed you
for a $300 install fee.
Rest
assured we're not trying to pull a fast one on you. We're training a new
person in accounting, and she neglected to delete that line item from the
bottom of our standardized invoice forms. So please disregard invoice # 774.
We will send an accurate one to you today, without the installation fee charge.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and we look forward to working with you again in
the future.
If
you have any questions, don't hesitate to call or e-mail.
Best,
Jason
McGraw
President, CompuPros |

Hi
Di,
I
got your invitation today to the open house for Cathleen and Keegan. I'm so
sorry that I have to miss it!
Brad
and I are going skiing in Utah that weekend. We've been planning the trip for
months, and it's too late to change even though we wish we could. I'm dying to
meet little Keegan! We'll be back on the ninth, and I'd like to get together
ASAP after that. Would that be OK?
You must be so proud, grandma! Wow, I never thought I'd be calling you that so soon. I'm glad that Cath had a smooth delivery, and that Keegan is healthy. Thanks for sending his picture. He's a cute little guy. Anyway, we'll check the gift registries you mentioned, and I'll look forward to seeing Cath and Keegan shortly. Hope the open house goes well. I know it takes a lot to plan and host one.
I'll
e-mail Cathleen separately and say sorry and hi. Please give my love to Ken.
See
you soon,
Robin
