B) Hi there! Just called in to see how you are and to leave you some notes for the meeting tomorrow. They are in a blue file on your desk. I hope you find them helpful… I certainly did. If you’ve got any queries give me a ring at home tonight. See you tomorrow. Ralph
C) Tom, I have been sent a letter asking if I want to apply for a job at your company. I don’t know if it’s good news or not. The letter is from David Locksmith. Do you know him? Can you come over here tonight and have a chat about it? There are some beers in the fridge. I’m in the office all day so can you call me? Thanks a lot. Brian
D) Someone left a message for you (I think the name was Matthew?) asking you to get in touch about an appointment they made with you. Apparently they can’t make it and want to change the time. He said you’ve got his number. Sorry, but it was a really bad line and there was a lot of noise this end.
