Dear {{customer_contact_person}},

We deeply regret any inconvenience or disruption this may have caused to your operations or inventory management.
Proposed Resolution
To rectify this situation, we would like to offer the following options:

2. **Purchase at Discounted Rate:** You may choose to keep the overshipped items and purchase them at a discounted rate of {{discount_percentage}}%. This adjustment will be reflected in a revised invoice.
3. **Credit Note:** We can issue a credit note for the value of the overshipped items, which can be applied to future purchases.
Please inform us of your preferred option by {{response_due_date}} so we can proceed accordingly. Should you require any further clarification or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact {{contact_person_name}} at {{contact_person_email}} or {{contact_person_phone_number}}.
