1 taking over: To "take over (an account)" means to become the person in charge of "handling" or "taking responsibility for" that account. Note that the present participle is being used here, since this is an action that is happening at the time of writing.
2 key customers: "Key customers" are important or major clients. Odorama is regarded as a key customer to Delavigne because it buys a lot of Delavigne products. Philip is writing this letter because it is important to maintain good relations with these types of companies.
3 concerns: "(Odorama's) concerns" are problems or matters that relate to or affect the company. Example: My main concern is that I am not able to speak English. Philip wants to discuss Odorama's "needs and concerns" which are issues and problems that Odorama may have.
4 spoken highly: "To speak highly (of someone)" is to have a good opinion of them or to respect them. Example: My previous boss speaks very highly of me, if you don't believe me check my references. Philip writes that Luke "certainly spoke very highly of you" meaning that Luke told him that he had a good opinion of Ms. Mild. Note that "speak" is irregular verb: speak/spoke/spoken.
5 Accordingly: "Accordingly" shares a similar meaning with "therefore" or "so". Example: I hated insects when I was young and accordingly I used to pull the legs of spiders.
6 set up: "To set up (a meeting)" is to arrange or organize one, for example: I would like to set up an appointment with our suppliers for next week.
