Sub: Non-compliance of the order No. 11/RS

Sir,
This is with reference to our order No. 11/RS dated 4th March 20XX regarding the delivery of a few books for our school library.
In this respect, I regret to state that despite repeated reminders on the phone, the books have not yet been delivered to the library so far. The new session has started and the books are required urgently for reference-work by the students. I am quite upset about the non-compliance and negligent attitude shown by your shop towards our order. If the specified books don’t reach us within three days from the receipt of this letter, we will conclude that you are not interested in fulfilling this order. In that case, we’ll be compelled to place the order elsewhere. A list of books ordered is being enclosed herewith. Kindly do the needful at the earliest.

Yours truly,
