Dear [recipient's name]:

We ordered seven computer server racks from your business last Thursday, May 15th. The order was tentatively going to be shipped sometime next week. Unfortunately, because of unforeseen circumstances we must cancel this order. Please refund the deposit of $300 that we had paid when we placed the order.

Please contact me directly if you need additional information. Otherwise, thank you very much for processing this cancellation, and I apologize for any inconvenience that this cancellation causes.

Sincerely,

[Signature]
