Hi Chris,

Hope you are having a great time in Ireland.

Just to let you know we have your Fender amp here now with your cables. 
We are happy to keep them here for you to collect whenever is convenient 
or we can arrange for them to be shipped. Just let us know what suits.

Kind Regards,
Harriet
Express Music
