Dear Sirs:
Thank you for your letter of 20 May enquiring about the shipment of your order under contract 4632.

I enclose one set of shipping documents comprising:
1.One non-negotiable copy of the bill of lading
2.Commercial invoice in duplicate.
3.One copy of the certificate of guarantee.
4.One copy of the certificate of quantity.
5.One copy of the insurance policy.
I am glad that we have been able to execute your order as contracted. I trust the goods will reach you in time for the winter selling season and prove to be entirely satisfactory. I will personally ensure that you receive our prompt and careful attention at all times.
Yours faithfully,
Tony Smith
Chief Seller
