Dear Mr. McKinney:
I’m sorry to say I will be unable to attend your October 9 Roundtable. I’d like to say the reason is I’ll be sunning in the Mediterranean, but the truth is I’m simply two weeks behind in a major project and cannot afford the time away from the office.
I have asked Matt Johnson to attend in my place, to share our latest concerns with you and to bring me back all the suggestions he can garner from the meeting. Matt has been most intimately involved in the work and can no doubt contribute to your meeting far more adequately than I.
The agenda sounds full of challenge. My best in turning up some answers to all our concerns.
Sincerely,
Email This Page!
