Hi, Wanda! Do you have a minute? |
Hi, Isabel! I always have time for you. What’s on your mind? |
As you are aware, I’m a program director now, and my office has gotten a bit disorganized. I could really use a personal assistant, and I wondered if you had anyone to recommend. |
Hmm, I’m not sure off the top of my head, but I’ll ask around. |
Thanks! Also, I wanted to know if you received the invitation for our annual shareholder’s meeting. We’d love to have you! |
Yes, I got it! I’ll be there. Anything else? |
One more thing. I wanted to know if you were free for lunch next week. |
I’ll have my secretary call you and arrange it. |
Wonderful! See you next week! |
