Speaking Politely

Read the text and answer the comprehension questions

Dear David, I hope you are well. I am writing to follow up on Thursday's presentation to the board. Could you send me the final slide deck when you have a moment? I would also like to schedule a short debrief meeting this week if possible. I'm afraid I cannot do Thursday, as I have a client call in the afternoon. Would Wednesday at 2 pm work for you? If not, do you know whether Friday morning might be free on your end? I think we should also invite Sophie, as she was responsible for the financial slides. Why don't we send her a quick message to check her availability? Thank you in advance, and I look forward to speaking soon. Best regards, Elena
