23. TEXT STRUCTURING Move 1 – The First Apology We are sorry to learn from your letter of 10 May of the difficulties you are having with the pens supplied to your order number 8562.

24. TEXT STRUCTURING Move 2 – Giving Reasons All our pens are manufactured to be identical in design and performance and we cannot understand why some of them should have given trouble to your customers. It is normal practice for each pen to be individually examined by our Inspection Department before being passed into store. However, from what you say, it would seem that a number of the pens included in the latest batch escaped the usual examination.

TEXT STRUCTURING Move 3 – Informing of Actions taken/to be taken We sympathise with your problem but regret that we cannot accept your suggestion to take back all the unsold stock from the batch concerned. Indeed there should be no need for this since it is unlikely that the number of faulty pens can be very large. We will gladly replace any pen found to be unsatisfactory, and on this particular batch are prepared to allow you a special discount of 5% to compensate for your inconvenience.

26. TEXT STRUCTURING Move 4 – The Second Apology We trust you will accept this as being a fair and reasonable solution of this matter. With my apologise once again,
