Dear :

I’ve just been advised by my Japanese agent that shipment of the Emperor Tea Cup collection has been delayed.

As much as I’d like to see you again, our scheduled meeting on July 7 (10:00 A.M.) doesn’t make much sense without the merchandise. I had the opportunity to examine the cups during my last visit to Japan, and the catalog just doesn’t do them justice.

The moment I’m notified of shipment, I’ll call to reschedule. I believe these cups will become a major seller for your chain.

Thanks for your understanding. I should be back to you within two weeks.

Sincerely,

June 25, 2003
