Dear Mr. Wilson, I have a concern regarding the recent order we received from your company. Per our discussion last week, our company needs 500 units of pebbles for an event this coming Saturday. I'm afraid that in the shipment we just received at our headquarters there are only 250 units of pebbles. This is half the amount desired. Is this the only shipment that's scheduled to

arrive, or will there be another? If the rest of the pebbles do not arrive by the end of the business week, then I will request a refund of half of the agreed upon payment. Please let me know what can be done about this. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Henry Garcia
