We have received the consignment ex s.s “Dongfeng” in time and highly appreciate your

in CTN No.3 by mistake.
Since the goods we ordered will be delivered to our customers, it will be appreciated if
you replace it and arrange for the immediate dispatch of the replacement.
Enclosed is the contents list of CTN No.3 with which you could compare our order.
We look forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely
