Hello, Samantha, this is Sara Parker from sales. I am calling to let you know that tomorrow's meeting with the board members has been postponed because some of the regional branches have not sent in their sales figures yet. They have promised us that we will get all the data by Wednesday morning at the latest. In case of further delays, I rescheduled the session for Friday morning at 11. I have reserved the large conference room on the 5th floor. Some representatives from the marketing department also want to attend. Please call me back as soon as you get in to let me know if you and other accounting staff can attend the new meeting. Thank you.
