MILAN, Italy, August 15 — Tammy Willis, one of the biggest designer brands, is celebrating its record-breaking sales this month. Tammy Willis recently held a private party for celebrities and fashion designers at their headquarters in Milan, Italy. The surge in profit is largely credited to the newly recruited head designer, Mildred Duran, who applied innovative and bold styles to the largely traditional Tammy Willis dresses. Ever since Ms. Duran launched her dresses in high-end boutiques in Milan, profits at Tammy Willis have more than doubled. She was also awarded the 24th Hess Designers Award, which is given to the most creative and revered fashion designer annually Ms. Duran is expected to begin her next project on men's wear this fall, and will introduce some new lines at an annual event in September.

Subject: Annual charity fashion show

           

Dear Mildred,

 

Congratulations! I just finished reading an article about the increased profit. I had no idea we were that successful this summer. Thank you, Mildred, for increasing the company's profits so much. It was brilliant of Tammy Willis to have you succeed her position as the head designer.

 

I am writing this e-mail to inform you that there is a small problem in preparing for our annual charity fashion show, which is scheduled for September. This year, funds from ticket sales will be donated to “Save Africa.” The venue you requested for the fashion show, Hotel Fiesta, is unfortunately unavailable because someone has already booked it. Thus, we need to find somewhere else to host the show. I have attached pictures of other suitable places, including Romana Plaza, for you to take a look at. Please let me know your choice of venue and e-mail me back by September 2. See you at the fashion show next month!

 

Sincerely,

 

Carlos Keith
