13. Letter of Conplaints (申诉信函)
Dear Sirs ,
We regret to have to complain about late delivery of the filing cabinets ordered on 2nd September . We did not receive them until this morning though you had guaranteed delivery within a week . It was on this understanding that we placed the order .
Unfortunately , there have been similar delays on several previous occasions and their increasing frequency in recent months compels us to say that business between us cannot be continued in conditions such as these .
We have felt it necessary to make our feelings known since we cannot give reliable delivery dates to our customers unless we can count on undertakings given by our suppliers . We hope you will understand how we are placed and that from now on we can rely upon punctual completion of
our orders .
Yours faithfully ,

14. Letter of Claims (索赔信函)
Dear Sirs ,
Our Order No. V 123
When the s.s. Lancatia arrived at Famagusta on 10th September , it was noticed that one side of case No.23 containing the TV receivers was split . We therefore had the case opened and the contents examined by a local insurance surveyor in the presence of the shipping company’s agents . The case was invoiced as containing twelve TV receivers , eight of which were badly damaged . We enclose the surveyor’s report and the shipping agents’ statement . As you hold the insurance policy we should be grateful if you would take the matter up for ys with the insurers . Eight replacement recervers will be required . Please arrange to supply these and charge to our account . We hope no difficulty will arise in connection with the insurance claim and thank you in advance for your trouble on our behalf .
Yours faithfully ,
