Action

The letter asked customers to check their inventory for any of the affected product, and if they had any product remaining to place the amount in the list "Returned." If there was no product left, then the amount used should be placed in the list "Used." Customers needed to complete and sign the document, being sure to send it and any remaining product to the address provided. Credit would be issued once goods were received. If customers have questions, they should contact the firm.
