Chapter 3 交货延期

From: Sophia Grayson
To: Emily Lucas
Subject: Apology for the Delay in Delivery
Dear Emily,
I am writing to make an apology to you for the delay in delivery.
The contract dictates that we should have delivered the goods to you on November 21st. The pity of it is that five machines were out of order unexpectedly three days ago. Admittedly, we have asked the machinist for help, but he seems to be unable to solve the problem. Consequently, we cannot but purchase new machines instead. They are supposed to arrive tomorrow morning.
Of course, the other machines have been working at full capacity these days. However, we are very likely to fail to get ready all your goods according to schedule. I take the liberty of making a request for the delay in delivery. I would appreciate it if you could allow us five more days.
Please accept our sincere apology for any trouble we might cause to you.
Yours truly,
Sophia

主旨：抱歉，交货延期
亲爱的艾米丽：
我写这封邮件，是想要就交货延期一事而向你道歉。
依据合约规定，我们本应该于11月21日给你们运送货物。遗憾的是，3天前，有5台机器出乎意料地出了故障。无可否认，我们让机修师过来帮忙，但是，他似乎也无法解决这个问题。因此，我们只能另买新机器来代替。应该明早就可以收到了。
当然，这些天，其他的机器一直都在全力生产。然而，我们很有可能无法依照预定计划来准备好你们的全部货物。我冒昧地请求延期交货。如果你可以准许我们延期5天时间，不胜感激。
如果我们给你带来了不便之处，请接受我们的诚挚歉意。
真诚的
索菲亚
