You are the owner of Oceanarium, a fine-dining seafood restaurant in Birmingham, Alabama. This morning you discovered that your restaurant’s daily 6:00 a.m. shipment of fresh seafood from Neptune Seafood is spoiled due to a faulty refrigeration unit in the delivery truck. Following your discovery, you made an immediate phone call to Neptune to alert them of the situation. You should now send a follow-up e-mail to Carl Bass, the shipping manager at Neptune, detailing the problem and how you would like for it to be resolved.
First, clearly state your case with specific details. Second, ask for a reasonable solution to the problem. Finally, schedule a new shipment of untainted seafood from Neptune immediately. Be sure to indicate that you have attached an invoice with the items that you will need replaced.
As this is a first time occurrence, do your best not to sever ties with your most important food supplier. You have a longstanding, friendly business relationship with Carl, so you should address him with the appropriate tone. Be sure to provide a specific subject line and signature block. Don’t forget to proofread your work for grammar, usage, and spelling.
