Sarah is away next week so would like to speak to me
today if it’s convenient and not too much trouble.
She wants to go over some of the finer details
and explain how things will generally go from here.

Sarah needs to check she’s understood correctly
and revisit a few points so we can move the process on.
She’d like us to consider the options together and
ensure I’m fully informed re: decisions to be made.

Sarah says a number of procedures must be got underway,
that she should be in touch asap with the necessary parties.
Sarah tells me one or two loose ends need tying up
before she leaves the office for a fortnight’s holiday.

Sarah has written me an email to this effect on Monday.
She is thankful and looks forward to talking with me.
Sarah hopes to hear from me, this afternoon, preferably,
and would be very grateful if I’d return her call.
