Today your Production Manager has sent you the fax below with changes he would like to make to the conference arrangements
FAX
I’m afraid we have to make some last-minute changes to the arrangements for our production conference.
Ten more guests have accepted.
The President wants only one hour for lunch, and just a simple buffet-not seated in the restaurant.
The Conference Speaker(Tom Moors)can’t come until 2 pm. So he will give his presentation in the afternoon. Can we move the
seminars to the morning?
Sorry about this!
Sam
