*Sealed with much wax and lettered deeply embossed thereupon, arriveth a scroll for the attention and private perusal of a "Master W. Roberts, Captain of the goode ship Indomitable"*
Master W. Roberts,
It cometh to the attentione of myne learned senior associates that some error of payment hast been in occurrance, and thus thou shalt fynde herein enclosed a cheque to the payable sum of nine-hundred and forty-two gold pieces to be reimnburs'ed as o'erpayment of taxes and duties of one shipment involving the cargo of fresh greene cabbages.
Some omission of fact involving the exact nature of stated vegetable produce mayhap caused the discrepancy in payment and indeed subsequent queries. Alas, some further absenthandedness on the part of one no longer in the employ of the goode Authority of Ports and Vessels hast meant the absense of thy import and export papers and thus the precise quantity and nature of thy cargo hast been lost in its entirity, leaving little else but thine original statement of intent prior to docking at His Majesty's Port some twelfthnight ago. All duties payable on said cargoes of goode greene cabbages are duly voided and reimbursed to thine own goode self, effective immediately.
*a cheque for 942 gold pieces is attached*
The British Ports Authority bids thee every goode wish and continued prosperity, warm wyndes and profitted trade, and lookes forward to favourable business and association with thee in the future.
