I’m sorry that I didn’t get back to you sooner about your proposal. Truth is, I’ve been frantically busy [trying to stem the tide of negative publicity surrounding the Tolman takeover attempt].
Now that I have a few minutes, maybe we can at least set a time to discuss your proposal for [streamlining our inventory tracking system]. Your ideas certainly sound intriguing and I would like to learn more about the cost analyses you have performed.
My calendar is clear [tomorrow afternoon after 3 p.m. It is also open the morning of the 11th]. Please let me know if you are available at either of these times.
