DL2-37 

From: Frederick Kenner <fkenner@netcoxnet.com> //

To: Marsha Root <marshar@grelandcom.com> //

Subject: Remittance of Payment //

Date: June 12 //

This is in response to your inquiry of May 19 /

regarding our remittance dated April 28 of $542.98 /

to cover the final payment for office equipment /

delivered to us from your Palmdale branch store the previous month. //

Our records show / that although this amount was remitted to your company /

by the agreed deadline of May 1, /

it was mistakenly transferred to the wrong account, /

No. 87387287 at Firmington Bank & Trust, /

under the account name “Greland Co., Inc.” //

I spoke with the accounting department at your corporate headquarters /

on June 10, / and they informed me /

that each Greland Office Supply branch store receives payments from customers /

at its own separate bank account. //

Our error / was that we should have remitted the payment /

to Firmington Bank & Trust account No. 13204800 /

under the account name “Greland Co. Palmdale Branch Office.” //

The person I spoke to in accounting said /

that she would transfer the money to your account the following day. //

If you have not received it, / please contact her directly: /

Kerrie Macy, Greland Main Office, extension 4747. //

I apologize for any inconvenience. //

Sincerely, //

Frederick Kenner //
