Dear Mr. Thompson:
It has come to our attention that some Potter & Brumfield relays which we sent to you may have possibly been used or used surplus.
We have also been informed that these units are for use in a Nuclear Power Plant.
We were not aware of this until after the shipment had been made.
It is not and has not been our intent to handle used or used surplus items.
We would like to exchange these units for new units with traceability.
We realize that the original requirement was for commercial grade and that traceability was not required, however that would be the only thing we would intend to supply to the Nuclear Industry.
The purchase order and items in question are as listed below:

14141 06/04/90 Please check into this as soon as possible and let us know your findings on these so we may replace these units as soon as they are available from the factory.
We were trying to perform a good service by finding these units and having them dropped shipped to your plant to help them in what we were told was an emergency.
Normally these units would come direct from the manufacturer and have full traceability.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and will appreciate your help in allowing us to replace these units.
- Regards, M
