Salutation

Dear {{customer_name}},

Acknowledgement of Error

We are writing to sincerely apologise for the error made with your recent order, #{{order_number}}, placed on {{order_date}}. We understand that the {{incorrect_item_or_service}} was delivered instead of the {{correct_item_or_service}} (or that there was an issue with {{specific_issue_description}}), and for this, we are truly sorry for any inconvenience or frustration this may have caused you.

Explanation (Optional) and Assurance

While we strive for accuracy in all our operations, an oversight occurred during the {{stage_of_error_e.g._packaging_processing_dispatch}} of your order. We want to assure you that this is not typical of the quality and service we aim to provide to our valued customers. We have identified the cause of this error and are implementing {{corrective_actions_taken}} to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

Proposed Resolution

To rectify this situation, we would like to offer the following resolution immediately:

- We will dispatch the correct item(s), {{correct_item_details}}, to your address at no additional cost. This will be sent via {{delivery_method}} and should arrive within {{delivery_timeframe}}.

- We have also arranged for the collection of the incorrect item, {{incorrect_item_details}}, on {{collection_date}}.

- As a token of our apology, please accept a {{discount_percentage}}% discount on your next purchase / a voucher for {{voucher_amount}} for future use with us. (Choose one or offer an alternative goodwill gesture).

Please let us know if this proposed resolution is satisfactory, or if you would prefer an alternative solution. We are committed to making this right for you.
