Script
M :
Hi, Emily. I hope you’re doing well.
W :
Hey, Michael. I’m good. What’s up?
M :
I just heard that the manager of the marketing team, John, was in a traffic accident and won’t be able to attend our scheduled meeting. We need to reschedule.
W :
Oh no! I hope he’s okay. When should we reschedule the meeting for?
M :
Well, John should be back at work in two weeks, so I was thinking we could have the meeting on the day when he comes back. How does that sound to you?
W :
I’m not sure if two weeks is enough time for John to recover. How about March 27?
M :
I have to go on a business trip to Jeju-do from Monday to Wednesday that week, so that day would be difficult. How about we meet on March 30 then?
W :
Sounds good to me.
M :
Great. Also, before the meeting, could you send me the sales data for our existing products? It would be really helpful to have that information before we meet.
W :
Sure, no problem. I’ll email the files to you.
M :
Thanks, I really appreciate it.
