    Respected Sir,

    I am extremely apologetic for the mistake in the order you placed with us for 500 Black cotton pants. The order was placed on March 12, 2012.

    It is stated that we sent the wrong order to you which was 500 Brown cotton pants. Actually, the order sent to you was from another client and due to some mismanagement, there was a mix up in delivering the order. We are sorry for causing this inconvenience to you.

    I definitely understand that the mistake from our side would have caused your department considerable losses for which we are willing to compensate. We will surely compensate on your losses when we deliver the correct order at your warehouse.

    In the end, I would once again like to apologize for the mistake from our side. I would also promise you that something like this will not happen again and that we will make sure that everything happens within the time schedule.

    With regards,

    Luke Henderson
