Dear Paola,

　Thank you for your comments.

　Yes, we confirmed the L/C to you. We hopefully could fulfill it on time. It is good for us too. But sometimes materials purchase and production arrangement is a little different. We are sorry to cause the inconvenience. As we talked the projects for a long time, and finally we conclude some deals. We value the chance to cooperate with you. You already visited us in Berlin Show and Canton Fair. We hope you can realize our sincerity for cooperation and now we need some support from you for this shipment. Trust me; we want to do better for you.

　As per your PO to UPS, the shipment date is Oct.30th—Nov.10th. We just hope to catch the vessel before Oct. 30 all the time. But the date is out of our control. We hope to catch it before Nov. 10th, but not later than Nov. 15th. So the shipment must catch the Christmas season for sale. It will arrive at early December, or middle. I think you could have enough time to deliver the goods to your stores. So we kindly ask you help us to revise the shipment date till Nov.15th, and expiry date till Dec.10th.

　For the penalty, please don’t count it on us any more. But for your coming larger order, we could cover you with a best offer. And may be some spare parts also. Thank you for your kind understanding.

　Look forward to your comment soon. Thank you.

　Best regards,

　Water
