The Paperwise's Customer __/10
Unit 2, River Trade Park
25th June 2024

Dear Sir/Madam,

I hope this email finds you well.

As the Manager of Paperwise Office Paper Suppliers, I am writing to inform you of the important adjustment in the way we charge our
customers.

As you know, we have provided you monthly invoices after you receive the orders since your first order at our company. However, the
Board of Directors have changed the company policy. From now on, you need to pay for the paper before you receive the supplies.
This new way makes the company totally ensure that your order quality will all be excellent because we will receive your money first
and we have the responsibility.

We enclose a new payment instruction with this letter. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We thank you for your business and look forward to supplying you in the future.

Yours faithfully,
Thi
