Dear Teachers,

I am very much confused to write a simple letter. Could somone help me please?

Letter is as follows:

Dear Sir,

In reference to your fax dated 10/12/2005 we would like to inform you that we have mentioned clearly in our earlier correspondence that we have not approved the inspection charge which was included in your Invoice # 005 for $ 2,500/- dated 10/10/2004.

Hence please issue a new invoice for $ 10,000/- instead of $ 12,500 and collect the cheque.

Thanks & regards

Note: I am confused that where should I write past tense and where past perfect.

Please help me in this regard.

Dear Teachers,

Here is how I would write the letter:

"Dear Sir,

Hence please issue a new invoice for $ 10,000/- instead of $ 12,500 - and accept this reduced amount as payment in full.

Thanks & regards"




Hope that helps. Good luck!
