TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS
At MG Specialists, we're currently experiencing a very high level of demand, so, with regret, will not be able to attend to any new orders until 1st August 2010. As this is also a staff leave period, we cannot guarantee to respond to all emails and telephone calls between 6th July and 5th August. Can we apologise for this inconvenience, and wish you a good summer.
Nous regrettons que nous ne puissions pas prendre tous les nouveaux ordres jusqu'au 1er août 2010. Car c'est également une période de vacances de personnel, nous pouvons ne pouvoir pas répondre à tous les email et appels téléphoniques entre les 6 juillet et 5 août. Pouvons nous faire des excuses pour ce dérangement, et te souhaitons un bon été.
Wir bedauern, dass wir nicht imstande sind, alle neuen Aufträge bis 5 August 2010 zu nehmen. Da dieses auch ein Personalfeiertagszeitraum ist, können wir nicht imstande sein, auf alle eMail und Telefonanrufe zwischen 6. Juli und 5 August zu reagieren. Können wir für diese Unannehmlichkeit uns entschuldigen und wünschen Ihnen einen guten Sommer.
Lamentamos que no poder tomar cualquier nueva orden hasta el 5 de agosto de 2010. Pues esto es también un período del día de fiesta del personal, podemos no poder responder a todos los email y llamadas telefónicas entre el 6 de julio y 5 de agosto. Podemos disculparnos por esta inconveniencia, y le deseamos un buen verano.
