Mr. Money, this is Tim Broke. I’m afraid that Г11 have to cancel our appointment on Thursday lunchtime, my partner will be out of the office that day. Would it be possible to set up another meeting for the week after?
Well, it’s not very convenient. I am a very busy man and my diary is very full for that week already.
Would you like to suggest another date that suits you?
Let’s see. I could make two weeks on Wednesday. Or we would have to postpone until the Friday after that.
Could you bring forward our appointment? For example at the end of this week or before Thursday next week?
The only possibility I can see is a breakfast meeting on Monday.
I shall have to juggle with one or two other appointments, though.
Otherwise I have no other free moments.
That should be fine. What time would you like me to arrive?
7.30 sharp. I can give vou an hour and a half.
Thank you. I’ll be at your bank at 7.30, then. Please accept mv apologies for this inconvenience.
Yes. Goodbye, Mr Broke.
