Date: December 8
Subject: Clearance sale

Now that our year-end inventory is complete, we’re ready for our annual clearance sale. The sale will run for a week from Sunday.
There is a considerable amount of surplus stock of the SnoWiz line of ski wear—everything in the line will be sold for half price except for the after-ski boots which will be marked down 30%.
The winter sports season is still in full swing and all of you are encouraged to recommend the line to customers during the sale so we can clear as much stock as possible while the sale is on.
Sale prices for other merchandise will vary with some items going for as low as 70% off.
As usual, sunscreens and cosmetics will not be discounted.

July 17
Ms. Patricia Sinclair 254 Interlaken Avenue Seattle, WA 98203

Dear Ms. Sinclair:

Thank you for your order of July 14. Of the three items you ordered, the two-drawer file cabinet (Item # 34-210) and handy desk vacuum (Item # 5202) were shipped on July 15.
However, the miniature easel (Item # 4277) is currently out of stock. We have contacted the manufacturer to back-order and have been told that the item will become available around the end of this month. Would you like to wait? Or would you like to cancel your order for this item?
We charge credit cards or issue invoices only when items are shipped, so you have not been charged for the easel.
Please let us know what you would like us to do.

We sincerely appreciate your patience and look forward to hearing from you.
