You ordered a piece of laboratory equipment for a student project. The supplier has written to say that the model you ordered is discontinued, that a different model can be sent this week, and that the original model can be obtained in six weeks. Write a reply to the supplier.

In your email, do the following:

• Say which of the two offers you want.
• Explain what the project needs the equipment to do.
• Ask for one thing that would reduce the risk to you.

Write as much as you can, in complete sentences.
