Email to my friend DeAnn, at work…

Subject: Formal meeting request

Body:

Ms. XXXXX,

I am writing to request a meeting to discuss issues of timeless importance, including but not limited to potty-training, play dates and weight loss endeavors. I would like to seek your expert input on several of my projects in addition to offering support to yours. I believe this meeting will be to our mutual strategic benefit.

While lunch is my preferred venue, I am certainly open to any other suggestion you may offer. I understand that your time is valuable. Please consider me to be at your disposal; whenever you are able to meet, I will gladly arrange affairs on my end so as to synchronize with your availability.

I am excited about the opportunity to meet with you, and I eagerly await your response.

Yours most cordially and hoity-toitily,

Katherine J. XXXXX, Esq.
