Dear Mrs James,

I have just received your letter and I am shocked to learn what happened. We were so confident that our billing system was flawless but as you have pointed out in your letter, we have made an error and we take full responsibility for it.

Please forgive us for this problem and error. I have spoken to the people responsible for correcting the problem and they have assured me that it will not happen again. Meanwhile, we have refunded all your money and look forward to more business from you in the future.

Thank you for understanding.

Yours Sincerely,
