Section 10接受對方投訴
（一）例信敬啟者：謝謝來信通知我方所交運的貨物（發票號碼 XY678）受損。從貴我雙方以往的交易中貴方應當了解，這次事件純屬偶然。但我方還是為給貴方造
成的麻煩深表歉意。請將所有的貨物退還給。我方將請船運公司來檢查損失，以便賠償。這件事不需我方的保險公司處理。如果貴方希望我方根據 AB456號訂單再次運貨，請通知我方。我方仍有那批服裝的存貨，并能于兩周內發貨。謹上
（二）參考譯文
Dear Sirs,
Thank you for informing us about the damage to our shipment (invoice No. XY678) of your
order.
From our previous transactions you will realize that this sort of problem is quite unusual.
Nevertheless, we would apologize for the inconvenience it has caused you.
Please return the whole consignment to us, and we will ask the shipping company to inspect the
damage so that they can arrange compensation. It is unlikely that our insurance company needs
to be troubled with this case.
If you want us to send you another shipment as per your order No. AB456, please let us know.
We have the garments in stock and would be able to effect shipment within two weeks.
Yours sincerely,
