This memo is to inform all marketing staff that there will be a mandatory meeting on Tuesday,November 14th at 2:00 p.m. 
The meeting will be conducted via a video-conference with our company headquarters in Seattle. From the head office, Joe Lamond, our company vice president, will give us feedback and ask questions regarding our proposals for the new advertising strategy. 
What do we, the marketing team, want to accomplish in this meeting? The goal is simple: We hope to elicit the vice president's consent for our print media campaign on the new Spring Shoe. 
Once we receive his approval, we can go ahead and offer our proposal to the advertising firm. If any staff member cannot attend this meeting, that employee is obliged to submit, in writing, a rea-son for their absence.

To: Colleen Dane, Director of Marketing 
From: Keith Wilson, Senior Marketing Consultant 
Date: November 7th 
Dear Ms. Dane, 
I'm writing in response to your department-wide memo of November 6th. 
Upon review of my schedule, I have to report that ! cannot accommodate your request for at-tending the meeting on the 14th. I have a long-standing commitment on that same afternoon to at-tend the opening ceremony of our new factory in Wichita. 
As a consultant, I regret having to miss the meeting, as it's necessary for me to be actively involved in our new advertising campaign. Unfortunately, the president himself insisted that I be present at the upcoming ceremony. 
What I propose is a sort of compromise for my absence. Sheila Parks, a junior on our market-ing team, is willing to transcribe the minutes for me so I can review the meeting's content in detail when I return to the office. If the vice .president addresses a question to me directly, I will respond promptly by contacting him by email or phone. Also, I will ask Joe Dunn, senior manager of the marketing team, to brief me on the meeting's outcome. 
Please understand my position. I wait for your reply. 
Keith Wilson
