Delayed Shipment Notification: Requesting Understanding for Unforeseen Sea Freight Delays

邮件正文：

Dear [Client's Name],

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to inform you about an unexpected development regarding the shipment of your goods from China to Europe（市场自行调整）. Unfortunately, we have encountered an unforeseen delay in securing container space, which has resulted in the inability to ship your goods within the originally estimated timeframe.

Initially, we were informed by our freight forwarder that there would be available space for your cargo within the next week. However, due to the current unprecedented situation in the shipping industry, we have just been informed that the container availability has been significantly delayed, and we may need to wait for up to one month before we can successfully ship your goods.（根据实际情况改写）
We understand the inconvenience and frustration this delay may cause you and sincerely apologize for the unforeseen circumstances that are beyond our control. We have been actively engaging with our freight forwarder to explore all possible options to expedite the process and secure the earliest available container space. 

We kindly request your understanding and patience during this challenging time. We assure you that we are working diligently to resolve this issue and minimize any further impact on your business. Our team is in constant communication with the freight forwarder and monitoring the situation closely to ensure the earliest possible shipping arrangement.

Thank you for your continued trust and support. We value our partnership and remain committed to delivering the best service possible.
