Sample Dialogue
A: Hello, Mr. Brown. Have you checked the draft of contract in your e-mail box?
B: I have just finished reading it. And I find there are some mistakes about commodity terms in the draft.
A: OK. Go ahead, please.
B: Firstly, it is about the types of cars. I have ordered G3, G5, G6, L3 but there are only G3, G5, G6 in the contract. Is that right?
A: Let me check. Yes, you are right. I will correct at once. Any other problems?
B: The second is about the quantity of cars. I have ordered 100 SUVs and 400 ordinary cars while there are 400 SUVs and 100 ordinary cars in it.
A: I am sorry, Mr. Brown. A moment please. I have corrected them.
B: The last one is about the color of SUVs. I have never ordered red, however, there are 20 red ones in the contract.
A: Yes. I’ve got it. Until now all mistakes you have mentioned have been corrected. I’m really sorry for the mistakes we’ve made. I will send you a new one later. Please go through again after receiving it and confirm it.
B: OK, I appreciate that. See you.
A: Goodbye.
