- First read: three emails with subject lines, all fifteen facts, nothing invented. The warmest of the nine - "I hope things are going well at Café Aurora", "Warmly," on the supplier one - and the only one to add a reason for the lead-time condition ("That would help me plan much more reliably"), which is a gloss, not a new fact. Email 3 puts the two options as bullets. No preamble, no offer to revise.

Subject: Invoice QR-2026-0314 – still outstanding

Hi Miguel,

I hope things are going well at Café Aurora. I wanted to follow up on invoice QR-2026-0314 for €412.60, which was due on 20 August. I sent a first reminder on 28 August but haven't heard back yet.

Our terms allow for a 2% late fee, but I'd like to waive that for you if we can get the payment in by 30 September.

We really value having you as a customer and would love to sort this out smoothly. Let me know if there's anything holding it up, or if you have any questions about the invoice.

Thanks so much, Miguel.

Ana, Quinta da Ribeira

Subject: About the proposed price increase

Hi Sofia,

Thank you for letting me know about the proposed 12% price rise from 1 October. I've really valued working with Olaria Beira these past three years, and I want to keep that going.

On my side, I can accept a 6% increase starting 1 November, provided we can also agree on a firm three-week lead time for orders. That would help me plan much more reliably.

If that doesn't work for you, I understand, but I'd have to start looking at other suppliers for future orders.

I hope we can find a way to make this work — let me know your thoughts.

Warmly,
Ana, Quinta da Ribeira

Subject: Your order 10482 – sorry about the broken bowl

Hi Inês,

Thank you for sending photos so quickly, and I'm really sorry one of the bowls from order 10482 arrived broken.

I'd like to make it right — whichever works best for you:

- A replacement bowl, shipped this Monday, or
- A refund of €24.90 for the bowl

Just let me know which you'd prefer. Please hold onto the packaging for now until we've confirmed, but you don't need to send anything back to us.

Sorry again for the trouble, and thank you for your patience.

Ana, Quinta da Ribeira
