Dear Mr Adams,
I, Janet Jackson, the Head of the IT Department at Yen IT Solutions am writing this letter to you to
apologize for the delay in delivering services and results. It is our constant endevor to provide services
within deadlines but only on a few rare occasionns do we falter. We hope that you will accpet our
apology and gives us another chance to serve you.
Yen IT Solutions is a business leader in providing support services to its clients. We have a dedicated
team of workers who work round the clock to ensure that services are timely delivered as per client
requirements. There was a delay in providing your repair services due to lack of communication
between the managers and the service providers. This is a huge mistake and I do realize that it must
have caused you a lot of inconvinience. I can assure you that this won’t happen ever again.
As a gesture of apology, I am willing to offer you one month of free services. The enclosed document
shows the illustration of the free service scheme in detail. Please feel free to reach me out in case
further elaboration is needed.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Thanking you
Jackson
