Mr P R Smith Sales Manager Wildman Office Equipment 18 Station Lane London N8 4HB




Dear Mr Smith

I am (complaining, writing, referring) regarding the consignment of 14 Olivetti 486 PCs, Order no. 3982/JKS which was delivered on 12 May.

It was clearly stated on the order form that these machines should be pre-loaded with the latest version of DOS. Unfortunately, they have all been loaded with DOS version 3.1, and we are therefore unable to run a number of programs. In addition, you agreed to supply all the necessary cables, but three of these are missing.

Could you please send one of your representatives to load the machines with the correct version of DOS as soon as possible. In addition, please send the three cables (part number CN-H97/K) as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely
