SUBJECT: Design meeting
Thank you very much for sending me an e-mail yesterday with an attachment containing several designs for our built-in air-conditioner project. I would like to say that our maintenance team admired the shape, size, and overall stylish design of the air-conditioners. However, we hope that you can make some changes to the appearance to reflect some of the current trends in home appliances. Our President, Sam Fimen, suggested that you might select some more subtle patterns, like flowers or drawings, for the surface. We think these luxurious patterns may make the products more desirable.
I would like to meet you to further discuss the designs and patterns. I will be on a business trip from Oct. 15 to 18. After that I'll be back in my office, so please contact my secretary, Sera Jones, to schedule our meeting at your earliest convenience.
Best regards,
Addington Symonds

As for your suggestions, I just created a second file which contains some more designs and patterns that we can discuss when we meet. I have attached this file to this e-mail. You can take a look at them after you come back from your business trip.
I contacted Ms. Sera Jones to tell her that I would be available on Oct. 20. According to Ms. Jones, you are available that morning. I will see you in your office at 10:00 a.m. If you would like to change the time, please call me back.
