FAX

 

FROM: Jessica Stein, Event Pro Organizers

TO: Peter Cross, Harvest Loaf Catering

 

Peter,

I just received your invoice for December's holiday deal, and I was a little surprised to see the numbers. I hope that these were merely typos, and that we do not have a misunderstanding. Please contact me as soon as possible so we can discuss the following points:

1) As you recall, in the third week of December, two of our large events were canceled and therefore your company's products were no longer necessary. As agreed upon in the contract, we will pay you $100 despite not using your services for that week. This fact is not reflected in the invoice.

2) Event Pro already wrote Harvest Loaf a check for $500 in good faith on the 1st of December to cover the first week's deliveries. Again, why is this not reflected?

According to my calculations, the total owed should therefore be $1,100.

We have very much enjoyed working with your company, as our clients report that they love your gourmet creations. I sincerely hope we can rectify this discrepancy and continue our great working relationship.

 

Best regards,

Jessica
