Hi Tim
Can you schedule a conference call for all our marketing directors, me included, to discuss the launch of the new appliance line? Please note our offices in Philippines and France are respectively, twelve and six hours ahead of us. Therefore, kindly remind the directors that the call may have to occur outside of business hours.
The meeting should be arranged before the new product presentations on May 26. I recommend scheduling the call on May 14 or 15 to allow sufficient time for the appliance information charts to be updated with any suggested changes. Should a different date be more convenient for the other directors, please check with me to confirm my availability?
Thank you.
