The Principles of business writing exercises Clarity Task 1 Revise Antonella’s Fax into a clearer version. 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. Huber 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. Huber also thought it might better to have the two different length of the Criti skirt. The skirt has a special knitting technique; as a result, it might be difficult if the customer wanted to shorten it. When Mr. Huber left Italy, I thought we had sorted the problems out. I was therefore surprised by your fax canceling the other sizes. Please let me know if you definitely want to cancel the other length skirts. As for reducing the total quantity, I will wait for conformation of the information about lengths before I contact the vendors. Thanks and best regard.
