Question

【題目】Answer the questions（根據短文內容回答下列問題）

Dear Mrs. Smith,

I regret to inform you that your order for bed clothes and curtains will not arrive on schedule. The reason for this is the factory that supplies our fabrics(面料) flooded during the typhoon over the weekend. All of the material it had in stock(存貨) was ruined, and its workers now have to clean up the factory. This includes repairing some of the looms it uses to make the fabrics.

As a result, it will take an additional two weeks for them to send us the fabrics. Since you custom-ordered these fabrics, the factory has agreed to deal with your order first. As soon as we receive it, my company will also give your order priority; after all, you are a valuable customer for us. We’ll try to get all the bed clothes and curtains done as soon as possible.

I’ll email you when we start sewing work, and again when the items are finished and we’ve done quality control on them. __92__, and I hope you will continue to use our services in the future.

Sincerely,

Joes Sewing Company
