Ashley: Hello, Sue. This is Ashley. Unfortunately, there has been a wreck on the interstate due to the weather, and I am stuck in traffic.
Sue: OK. Thanks for calling. We were just about to head into the conference room for the meeting.
Ashley: I’m glad I caught you then. I’m afraid it looks like I won’t be able to make it to the meeting. Do you think we can postpone it for about an hour?
Sue: I don’t have a problem with that but did you speak to Eric? I know he really wants to present his work today.
Ashley: I left a message on his voicemail. Sue, would you mind letting Eric know the situation? If he would like to hold the meeting without me, I completely understand. Otherwise, I should make it to the office in about 30 minutes and would be happy to meet then.
Sue: Sure. Let me talk to him and I will call you right back.
Ashley: Thank you, Sue. I really appreciate your help, and I apologize for the inconvenience.
