Draft replies to overdue emails

Output

Three Harbor & Pine email threads need Maya's reply. I read each thread and saved three replies in Maya's drafts folder for review. Nothing was sent.

I checked requests waiting more than two business days for a reply. The drafts follow Maya's recent sent replies: brief, warm, and direct. No other threads met that cutoff.

Ada Fern, fall buying quantities: Acknowledges the delay and asks for current minimums and lead times without committing to quantities.
June Moss, wholesale availability: Acknowledges the request and explains that availability needs checking before quantities can be confirmed.
Ellis Dune, damaged bowl sets: Asks what photos and order details are needed to review the damage.

The oldest request is Ada's, received September 10. Her full draft:

To: Ada Fern

Subject: Re: Fall buying quantities

Hi Ada,

Thanks for waiting on me. I'm still reviewing Harbor & Pine's fall buying quantities and don't have a confirmed order to share yet.

Could you send your current minimum quantities and lead times for Alder Wool Throw? That will help me finish the review without working from old numbers.

Thanks, Maya

Review quantities and any timing commitments before sending. These drafts make no purchase commitments.
