Re: Next Week's schedule

​

Dear Joshua,

​

Next week is going to be busy, and I need your help to plan it. First, I need to make sure that we schedule extra sales people for Friday. Then, I'd like you to set up an appointment for sales training. Make sure to ask everyone to RSVP so we can prepare the materials in advance.

Next, please arrange the weekly sales meeting. We need to compare our sales for next month to the goal we set. Make sure that you schedule it for a time that all sales people can attend.

I want you to pencil in a day and time for our annual sales review. You will have to determine which day will work the best, and expect changes. Sometimes finding the appropriate day takes a while in order to accomodate everyone. The executive personnel are often out of the office on business trips.

Lastly, send apologies to Mr. Levens for my inability to attend his meeting next week. If it is important that I be there, ask him if he can postpone it. If he schedules it for the same time on Thursday, instead of Friday, I'll be able to go.

​

Thank you,

Ms. Stevens
