为不能及时付款道歉

范文

Dear Miss Zhao，

Your Invoice No.1223 for US $80,000 worth of goods supplied on 20th July is due for payment at the end of this month. Most unfortunately, a fire broke out in our warehouse last week and destroyed a certain part of valuable consignment. Our claim is now with the insurance company, but it is unlikely to be met for another three or four weeks and until then we are faced with a difficult financial situation. I am therefore writing for permission to defer payment of your invoice until the end of September.

As you know, my accounts with you have always been settled promptly and it is with the utmost regret that I am now forced to make this request. I hope, however, that you will find it possible to grant it. In doing so you would render me a service I should never forget.

Yours faithfully，

Helen

尊敬的赵小姐：

贵方7月20日所供第1223号发票项下货物之款项8万美元定于本月底结付。非常不幸，上星期我方仓库发生火灾，毁坏了一部分贵重货物。我们现在正向保险公司提出索赔，但在三四个星期之内，不可能会给予赔偿。在此之前，我方财务形势严峻，故此我们写信请求贵方同意我们推迟到9月底付款。

贵方知道我们一向能迅速结账。这次我们被迫向贵方提出这个要求，实在抱歉。我们希望贵方能同意这个要求。若是如此，我们将永远记住贵方给予的帮助。

海伦 敬上
