This memo(备忘录）is to inform all marketing staff that there will be a very important meeting on Tuesday November 14^th at 2:00 p.m. 

The meeting will be conducted via a video-conference with our company headquarters in Seattle. Form the head office Joe Lamond our company vice president will give us feedback and ask questions about our suggestions for the new advertising strategy.

   What do we the marketing team want to accomplish in this meeting? The goal is simple: We hope to get the vice president’s agreement on our print media campaign on the new Spring Shoe.

Once we received his approval we can go ahead and offer our proposal to the advertising firm. If any staff member cannot attend this meeting that employee must submit in writing a reason for their absence.

To: Colleen Dane  Director of Marketing 

From: Keith Wilson  Senior Marketing Consultant 

Date: November 7th  

I’m writing in response to your department-wide memo of November 6^th

Upon review of my schedule I have to report that I cannot accommodate your request foe attending the meeting on the 14^th. I have a long-standing commitment on that same afternoon to attend 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 suggest is a sort of compromise for my absence. Sheila Parks a junior on our marking team is willing to record the details for me so I can review the meeting’s content when I return to the office. If the vice president addresses a question to me directly I will respond quickly 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
