Subject: Urgent event update
Dear Mr. Johansson,
There are some changes to the schedule for tonight's fundraising event.
Professor Trevelyan's flight from San Francisco has been delayed. He will not be able to arrive at the venue in time to speak during his original time slot. So, we will serve dinner 20 minutes early, and Mr. Trevelyan can speak immediately after. Now, the schedule has already been sent out, and we have no time to reprint it anyway. Consequently, it would be good if you could briefly mention these changes when you give your talk.
I'll be at the venue in about 15 minutes to make sure preparations are going smoothly and to meet with the caterers and help them set up. If you have any questions, call me at 555-7246.
Best wishes,
Kristina Hausmann

Event Raises Funds for a Good Cause
During a fundraiser held at the Carruthers Hotel over the weekend, invited guests donated close to $25,000 for the continued operation of Helping Houses. Established 24 years ago, the organization has assisted homeless around the region in finding food, accommodation, counseling, and employment. Guests were presented with short talks, a selection of performances, and a banquet dinner. Mayor Tania Groot, who was in attendance, said, "It is our duty as a community to care for those less fortunate." She also presented the director of Helping Houses with a check from the city for an additional donation of $15,000. Corporate and private donations are still being accepted and can be made by visiting www.helpinghousesshelter.org/donate.
