Hi [Name],\n\nI'm genuinely sorry — a damaged order and a slow response is not the experience we want you to have, and I understand the frustration.\n\nI'm sending a free replacement today with expedited shipping, no charge. I've also flagged the response delay internally so we can do better.\n\nIs there anything else I can do to make this right?
