Dear Teachers,
1. Would you please edit?
2. How would you write it? (to be like a native tone.)
Thanks a lot.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to inquire about the status of my four book orders, of which one was placed through fax and the others on-line recently. However, none are shown on your website.
As these books are my gifts for little kids, I hope I will receive them in time so as not to disappoint them.
Thank you in advance. |

I would also change"...of my four book orders, of which one was placed..." to "of my four book orders, one of which was placed..."
I think it sounds fine. |
