Dear Mr. Villares,

 

I understood that the "interview" consists of short questions, but the

problem is the same. Mr. Piano is often abroad and we can not assure you

that he can answer to your questions.

I am really sorry about this negative answer, but Mr. Piano is not able to

take other engagements.

 

Sincerely yours,

Giovanna Giusto
