Subject: Water cutTo: totalwatersystems@ptt.comFrom: ttmayer@ctechnet.comDate: 5 January, 2010 15:14:46

Dear Mr. Cook

Regarding the water supply cut, could I suggest one thing?

You have notified us the work is starting at 11pm. But I think it would be better if you could start it one or two hours later.

The period falls to weekdays and many people including myself come back home from work late at night. No water after 11pm will be very inconvenient for many of us.

We would appreciate it if you could reconsider that point.

Kind regardTom Mayer

Dear Katherine

I picked up your message on my phone just earlier. I am sorry it took so long to come back to you. I was away to attend a conference all day yesterday.

Yes, of course we can discuss your future career possibilities with me. It probably is a right time to start thinking about it.

I am available tomorrow morning from 10am to 11am if that is convenient for you. If you feel that is too soon, I will be available all afternoons next week.

Please let me know what you think.

Dear Mrs. Ball

Thank you for your reply by email.

Yes, tomorrow morning is convenient for me. It is good for me tosee you soon, as I actually think I will need to see you more than once as there are a quite a few points I feel I need to consider. Just one consultation is not likely to be enough for me ( I am sorry, I know that means I will probably keep you busy!)

At the moment, I am considering if I should take the teacher qualification course next year, as teaching could be one of the options for my future career. The only problem is I am not sure if I have an aptitude for being a teacher. It will be very helpful if I could discuss that matter with you tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing you at 10am.

Sincerely yoursKatherine
