Dear Luke

I am writing to tell you that the coffee maker you have ordered is unavailable at this time. Unfortunately we have run out of stock which means the next shipment won’t be here till next week so in this case you will not be able to get your coffee maker on time. We are very sorry about the inconvenience and will ship your order to you as soon as possible.

Kind regards CoffeeCo.
