M: Hello, this is John Burns from the Top Company Ltd. I’m phoning to return Ms. Thompson’s call.
W: Oh, hello, Mr. Burns. This is Susan Thompson speaking. I’m glad you ring back so soon. There’s a serious problem, I’m afraid. You know that order for 500 cases of Top Whiskey we put recently?
M: Oh, yes. I saw to it myself. What’s the problem? Hasn’t it arrived?
W: Well, in a way, but it’s stuck at the customs. There’s something wrong with the declaration, it seems. Some kind of omission or error.
M: Oh, really? That’s strange. Do you know what it is?
W: Well, I only heard that some of the details were incomplete and the customs can’t let the consignment through.
M: Ms. Thompson, I’ll tell you what I’ll do. Our forwarding agents are handling this delivery and they’re generally very reliable. Er, let me just get on to them.
W: Yes, if you would. And can you let me know as soon as possible when I can have the Whiskey? Time’s rather short and our customers are waiting for the wine, you know.
M: Of course. I’ll see to it, Ms. Thompson, and if at all possible, you’ll get a call today.
W: Well, getting the delivery today would suit me better. Oh, one other thing, I’m out of the office after 12 o’clock. If you call me after this time, would you leave a message with our switchboard operator? I’ll tell her to expect your call.
M: Yes, I spoke to her before. I’ll get things moving as quickly as I can.
W: Right. Thanks. Goodbye then, Mr. Burns.
M: Goodbye. You’ll be hearing from us very soon.
