I know..unfortunately...I have to translate the text written in the book 1:1 ...

is it still correct`??

Is it to pass some test or are you writing a real letter?

There's no such thing as 1:1 translation in most cases.

We have considered all the possibilities to speed up the delivery, but unfortunately, the peripherals you ordered can be shipped no earlier than on Jun 26, 2007...

Wow, you should just go buy it in a store

I know that 1:1 is not the wise way to translate things....especially if you have to translate russian texts...

it's just a task in my book...it won't be sent out to a russian business partner

both these sentences are grammatically correct. As for the style, you can say it a bit simpler
