Dear ABC,

I, as a representative of XYZ hospital wants to inform you that we have received your
order of N-95 masks. I am here to tell you that we have checked your N-95 masks as its quality is
very low. We have checked it in our Microbiology Lab. Microbes can easily penetrate through the
mask. The layer of mask is single coated. It can’t prevent bacteria from entering. There are many
faults or flaws in the consignment of masks. As we are trading with you in surgical equipments for
last 20 years. You are our trusted seller. Your all equipments we received till years doesn’t have any
fault but this time, there are many flaws in N-95 masks. So, for the next time, make sure you deliever
us good and qualitative masks. As soon as possible.

Yours Sincerely,

XYZ hospital
