Thank you for your order. At this time we cannot fill your order due to an unexpected shipment delay from our overseas suppliers.

We will hold your order for arrival of the merchandise， and ship shortly thereafter. Unfortunately， we cannot provide you with a specific shipping date at this time.

Thank you for your anticipated patience in this matter.

Thank you for your kind letter regarding your exceptional treatment by one of our employees. A copy of your letter has been forwarded to the personnel department and will be included in the employee’s file.

So seldom is it that a customer takes the time to write a letter of appreciation， that I feel moved to reward your initiative.

Please accept the enclosed certificate， which， when presented， willentitle the bearer to a ten percent discount on the merchandise beingpurchased at that time.

This is but a small token of our appreciation of customers such as you，upon whose satisfaction we have been allowed to grow and prosper in thishighly competitive marketplace.

Again， on behalf of our entire organization， a heart-felt thank you.
