Dear Mr. Foster,

Thank you for your recent order with Corporate Apparel Co. We are writing to inform you of a change to your shipment.

We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. As compensation, we have applied a 10% discount to the polo shirt portion of your order. Your new order total is $360.00.

If you would prefer to wait for the Royal Blue shirts to become available again (estimated 3 weeks), please reply to this email within 48 hours and we will hold your order.

Hi Jun,

I wanted to update you on my situation. My flight from Toronto was delayed by over three hours due to mechanical issues. Instead of arriving at 7:15 AM as scheduled, I didn't land until nearly 10:30 AM.

By the time I cleared customs and reached the convention center, it was already past 11:00 AM. Unfortunately, this means I missed the opening keynote address, which I was really looking forward to.

The good news is that I made it in time for the startup funding panel, and I've already made some excellent contacts. I'll attend all the remaining sessions as planned.

I'll send you a full summary when I return next week.

Best,
Melissa
