Dear Korinna
Re: order for Faci (314739) and Cristi(315227) skirts
Thank you for your fax concerning the above skirts.
I discussed the problems regarding the two skirts with Mr Hubner during his trip to Italy.
The skirt made by Faci has a slit at the bottom, which might make it difficult if the customer wanted to change the length of the skirt. We therefore agreed that the vendor would have to supply the skirt in two different lengths.
Mr Hubner thought it might be better to leave the two different lengths of the Cristic skirt. The skirt has special knitting technique; as a result, it might be difficult if the customer wanted to shorten it.
When Mr Hubner left Italy, I thought we had sorted the problems out. I was therefore surprised by you fax cancelling the other sizes.
Please le me know if you definitely want to cancel the other length skirts. As for reducing the total quantity, I will wait for confirmation of the information about lengths before I contact the vendors.
Thanks and best regards.

Dear Antonella
Thank you for your fax. In answer to your queries, I can confirm that the measurements charts do not need changing and all knitted skirts will now be produced in a standard length. We would like to propose a delivery date of 30 June. Does that suite you?
Best regards.
