Dear Mr Watkins
With reference to your letter on 15 March, unfortunately I am unable to attend
the video conference meeting on Friday, due to a previous engagement.
However, I would be very grateful if you could send me a copy of the agenda.
Please find attached the marketing document.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Yours sincerely,
David Bell

Dear Joe
I am writing to ask you about your opinion of the new Exec summary of the
final report (Chapter 7). We will make an individual document for your internal
use. Could you possibly send me the marketing strategy for the IMTA? I am
sorry about the website; we are experiencing some technical difficulties.
If you have any questions, contact me on my office number.
Look forward to hearing from you
Denise
