Hi Mark
Sorry you couldnt be at the meeting on Friday. Im sure youll get the minutes fairly soon but Ill just
give you a brief outline of what was discussed.
Due to the dramas that occurred last year, sales have been affected/effected (as you know) and, as a
result, the company has decided to change advertisement/advertising agencies to try to improve its
image and appeal. In order to do this however, the company has had to borrow/lend more money from
the bank and there are likely to be some cutbacks in the company itself. No need to panic yet though as
there may not be any negative affects/effects in your department. Well just have to wait and see. Most
certainly however, prices on our products will raise/rise and that will affect/effect you/your job.
I received a number of applications for the position we advertised. I will show them to you on
Thursday but there was one applicant in particular who looked promising. She has a degree in
economics/economy and had a job/work with ABC before moving to Oslo. I am really
interested/interesting in getting her in for an interview but of course I need to see what you think first.
Remember/Remind me to show you her CV as soon as you arrive.
Well, I hope you have a good journey/travel home and I look forward to seeing you back in the office.
Oh, by the way, the breakfast meeting that we had scheduled on Thursday has been
cancelled/postponed until the following Thursday. I am sure you will be glad to hear that piece of
news!
Regards
Julie
