Subject: Apology for out of Stock Item.
Dear (Sir or Madam),
It is with great regret; I am writing this letter. It disheartens me to say that we won’t be able to fulfill our promise of delivering the goods you have purchased on (date). (Show your actual cause). There has been some error with the (error cause) on our part for which we took the order without checking with our inventory.
You have placed an order of (order name) on (date) and made payments for the same. Unfortunately, while checking with our inventory, we realized that we lacked (amount of items requiring) units of the item. We hadn’t realized that we had gone through all our stocks and still took the order and for that, we are truly sorry.
Though we will be able to make the delivery, it will still take us a week to replenish our stock and send them to you. We will be sending you the purchased item by (date of delivery). Hope you would accept them and understand our situation and kindly cooperate with us. We wish your continued patronage.
Thanking You.
Yours truly,
