Subject: Your query about invoice INV-2027-0418

Dear Ms Karimi,

Thank you for contacting us on 12 October 2027 about invoice INV-2027-0418 dated 3 October 2027 for EUR 4,850.00. We take every question about an invoice seriously and have looked into it.

What you raised
You said the roof repair was charged twice and the labour hours are higher than agreed.

What we found
We checked our records. The repair appears once. The labour was 32 hours, as in the quote dated 20 September signed by you. We did find that the 15 percent discount was not applied to the materials.

Result: Partly accepted: we will correct the invoice.

We will issue a credit note of EUR 310.50 for the missing discount, making the new total EUR 4,539.50.

Amount now due: EUR 4,539.50, to be paid by 26 October 2027.

I have attached these papers so you can see how we reached this: Signed quote, timesheet, delivery note

If you still disagree, please tell me which item and why, and send any papers that support it. We will answer within a few working days. The undisputed part of the invoice remains due by 26 October 2027.

Thank you for your patience. You can reach me on +353 1 555 0100.

Kind regards,
Martin Kowalski, Northgate Building Ltd
