We have received your letter of May 15. With regard to our Purchase Contract No. 123 for 2,000 color TVs, we write to inform you as follows:
According to the contract, the above goods should be shipped in three equal lots in April, June and August. But up to the present moment even the first lot has not been shipped. Our end-users are waiting for the goods and they are very much surprised that you should have been to so much behind the schedule of delivery.
Please do your best to ship the first and the second lots together before the end of June; otherwise our clients will feel dissatisfied and will probably have to cancel the order.
Upon receipt of this letter, please let us know the exact date of shipment.
