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.

This statement is false. Trey actually lives very near San Francisco currently, and does not mention "relocation" or "moving house" in his list of reasons why he wants this job.
This is a true statement. Trey tells Luna that the job at Delavigne is "in line with" his career objectives. "To comply" with someone or something is "to agree" or "to be in accord" with them. The term shares a similar meaning with the expression "to be in line with".
This is correct. Trey says "the opportunity to manage a customer service department has always been a dream of mine". This means that he has always wanted to manage a customer service department. The position at Delavigne would allow him to make this dream reality!
This is a good choice here. Trey states that he "would be proud to work for" Delavigne which clearly indicates that he has a positive opinion or thinks "very highly" of the Delavigne Corp.
