Report
Dear Director,
In accordance with your verbal instructions, I have carefully checked the bulldozer recently handed over to us by the Rogers Machine Building Co., and found that everything is in perfect condition, except one of wheels, which does not move smoothly.
It seems necessary that the Rogers Company be called upon to repair or replace the defective wheel before the bill is paid.
Please let me know your decision and give me further instructions.
Yours truly,
Oven Parson。
