	 Dear Mr Carison,
Thank you for the letter which arrived in the first post this morning.
perhaps you like to telephone my secretary to arrange for the appointment next week.
I am usually free on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon.
Do you think you can bring the plans of the new office block when you come?
I will be very interested in seeing them.
Of course it is impossible to say anything definite yet.
So much depends on what it costs for my company.
In the meantime I look forward to seeing you next week.
Yours sincerely, John Brown.
