Dear Mr. Liu,
I am delighted to know that you will come toGuangzhou and visit our company. Unfortunately, however, I am fully occupied and cannot meet you on November 13, when I have an indeed important meeting that cannot be cancelled. My schedule is more flexible from November 15 to 18. I wonder if you can manage to meetme during these days. During your stay here, I would ask my assistant, Amy to show you around some factories of our company. Indeed, we have a lot of ideasand experience to exchange, and I am fully convinced we will have an even better cooperation.
Looking forward to seeing you again.
Sincerely yours,
Anna Wang
