Dear Preston Printers

I’ve received order number

152246 today.

Unfortunately, there’s a

mistake in the printing.

The invitation says “30th

birthday”, but we specified

“30th nameday”. I’ve just

checked the order form, and

it clearly states “nameday”.

I appreciate that it’s an

unusual word, but it’s a

reference to the Game of

Thrones series.

Hopefully, we can resolve

this matter quickly. I would

be grateful if you could

reprint the order correctly,

ideally by the end of the

week.

Alternatively, please refund

the cost of the invitations.

Thank you for your help.

Natasha
