Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree? What other measures do you think might be effective?

Dear Ashish, I'm very excited to hear about your visit to my country. It's a great opportunity to catch up after a long time.
However
,I won't be able to receive you at the
airport
on your arrival day. I'm extremely sorry about that but will meet you at your hotel. As my project is currently going through some strict timelines,I usually have my office timings from 9:30 am to 10:00 pm.
Also
,my boss will be on vacation
next
month, so I have to take a lead in managing my team.Given your flight's arrival time of 7pm,it will be diffcult for me to leave early and see you at the
airport
.
However
,you don't need to worry about your travel arrangements from
airport
to hotel, as I will be sending one of my colleagues from office to pick you up from
airport
and drop by at your hotel.Let me know if you are fine with
this
arrangement or need anything more from my end. Looking forward to hear from your end. Yours Faithfully, Vinayak Iyer
