Great Grandfather LIVES!! - Quiz

This letter is full of old-fashioned, long-winded jargon. Rewrite it using modern business language:

Dear Sirs,

        We have received your letter dated 27th March 2003.

        We are extremely distressed to learn that an error was made pertaining to your esteemed order. Please be informed that the cause of your complaint has been investigated and it actually appears that the error occurred in our packing section and it was not discerned before this order was despatched to your goodself.

        Arrangements have been made for a repeat order to be despatched to you immediately and this should leave our warehouse later today. It is our sincere hope that you will have no cause for further complaint with this replacement order.

        Once again we offer our humblest apologies for the unnecessary inconvenience that you have been caused in this instance.

        Please find enclosed herewith a copy of our new catalogue for your reference and perusal.

        Kindly contact the undersigned if you require any further clarifications.

Very truly yours,


Zachariah Creep & Partners
