Subject: Train schedule

 

Attached is the train schedule leaving Montreal for Toronto on May 18 and returning to Montreal on May 22. Via Rail runs six trains per day from Montreal to Toronto, so you'll be able to choose the best time for your trip. Your seat will be assigned in advance, and you will be able to work online on your way to Toronto since Wi-Fi Internet is available on board. Let me know which train you want to take, and I'll reserve your seat.

By the way, is Mr. Collins still going with you to the conference in Toronto? I know you asked me to book a ticket for him, but yesterday I was told that he may have to stay here due to the upcoming board meeting. Let me know soon.

Subject: Re: Train schedule

 

I was held up in a meeting until four today. Sorry for the late reply.

Thank you for the information. I need to arrive in Toronto by 6 p.m. on May 18 because I have an important meeting scheduled at 6:30 in downtown Toronto. On May 22, the conference ends at noon but I have lunch plans, so I want to take the 15:10 train. If I am back in Montreal by around five, I'll be able to go to Mike's retirement party at 7:30! It's good because I really want to be there.

Oh, I checked with Mr. Collins. What you heard is true. He has to prepare a presentation for the board meeting, and also attend several meetings with board members. So you don't have to worry about his tickets.

I have one last favor. Could you please contact Stacie Wallace in Vancouver and find out where Kenji and Nora will be staying during the conference? I need to go over the presentation material with them before the conference and make last-minute changes if necessary, so I want to stay at the same hotel.

Thanks for all your hard work.
