範例三: 賣家無庫存不能立即交貨
Dear Sirs,
We thank you for your order for 100 dozen yards of curtain fabric to patterns submitted, but as our stocks have been cleared and the cloth has to be manufactured, we are not in a position to effect delivery in less than a fortnight. It must also be understood that this period will be exceeded if the makers have none of the patterns selected on hand, there is, however, little danger of this.
If your demand is so pressing as to necessitate immediate delivery, we are prepared to supply a material in some respects inferior but satisfactory for most ordinary purposes, as the samples enclosed will show. We suggest, however, that it would pay you to suspend the execution of your order unless such a course is for special reasons inadvisable. Perhaps you would be good enough to confirm your order subject to these conditions.
Yours faithfully,

範例四: 賣家已不再生產,推介新產品
Dear Sirs or Madam,
Thank you for your letter of ___(日期) enclosing your order for 1000 sets of ___(商品).
We are sorry we can no longer supply this model, because it is rather old model and the demand for it has fallen to such an extent that ceased to manufacture them.
Instead, we should like to recommend our new ___(推薦商品), which we think, is more attractive in design and practical for use. The large number of repeat orders we regularly receiving from our overseas customers is clear evidence of the wide spread popularity of this brand at the low price of only __(金額) each with a leather case and a strap C.I.F (地名) is much cheaper than ___(買家原本要的商品). The sample with description is being forward to you by air parcel today.
Yours faithfully,
