Dear Sirs, We have not yet received the front axle for a Bentley car that you promised would be here early this week. This works closes down for the whole week 18th to 26th July inclusive. Unless we get this axle early next week (week commencing Monday 13th July), it will be idle here for an unnecessarily long period. Will you therefore endeavour to expedite despatch to us. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
