Subject: Planning for Mr. Ito’s Visit

Dear Mr. Heenan:

Thank you for your e-mail. Here is the information you requested about our company president’s daily routine.

Mr. Ito always gets up at 5 a.m. He usually goes jogging before breakfast. He always gets to work by eight o’clock. Please do not schedule appointments before 8:30. He likes to read his e-mail and do paperwork before lunch. After lunch, he likes to have meetings. He almost always has a light lunch, so he usually likes to have dinner at seven or eight o’clock. He never likes to go to bed late, so do not plan any events for late in the evening. On weekends, Mr. Ito usually plays golf or tennis, but he often enjoys going to concerts or plays.

I hope this information helps you to plan Mr. Ito’s schedule during his visit to your company next month.
