This is your personal shopper, [YOUR NAME], from dumpling!
I was just going through your order and noticed you had requested [PROHIBITED ITEM].
Unfortunately, [PROHIBITED ITEM] is prohibited on the dumpling platform so I won't be able to purchase that but, I will deliver everything else available on your list within your requested time.
See you soon!"
