I was just staying in the hotel and dealing with my work. Once again, I gonna say sorry about that. But guess what? I just got to know that I'm going to London once again to attend a meeting

week! After the meeting, I'll be off work for three days. So I guess maybe we can meet each other and have a meal on Saturday or Sunday evening, whichever is more convenient. Just let me know if you are OK with that and you can phone me personally on my new number 88888888. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Best Regards, Chalk.
