Sam is a sales person. Today he got two orders from two of his clients. Both of these orders worth 1000 dollars.

Are my sentences correct?

Do you mean he got one order from two separate clients (for a total of two)?

P.S. You could also say that both of them ARE worth $1000. (It happened today.)

Perhaps:

Sam got an order from Bob and an order from Bill-- each for $1000.

We can't use "worth" here. Am I correct? What is the reason?

No, 'worth' is fine. The problem was that you didn't have a verb in the 2nd sentence. You need some form of the 'be' verb there.

@tufguy I fixed the error in my post. (I should have checked to make sure that it was right.)
