All,
I am a stuck in a trial on the
West Coast that was supposed to take one week. We’re on our second
week and there is no end in sight. I am hoping that we will finish by
this Friday. I apologize for missing the meetings but it couldn’t
be helped. The time difference also makes it impossible to get on the
phone.
I’ll see you all when I
get back.
Regards
Haytham

Dear team,
I am back. Looks like last
meeting went very well. I have reviewed the notes and the last draft of
the ticket; well done. I apologize for any inconvenience due to my
absence. Please let this email serve as a reminder of tonight’s meeting
at 6:00pm at the LIBC office.
For those of you that will not
be able to attend tonight, I will personally contact you by phone to get any
new updates so I may inform the rest of the committee of your progress during
tonight’s meeting. In doing so we can be most efficient and productive
beginning phase II of the project.
Hope all is well. I miss you
all and really look forward to seeing everyone tonight.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards

Hello
All,
I have attached the new design for our ticket courtesy of Rania. She said the
she's not sure of the star locations, so let me know so she can correct it.
Also, let me know what you think of the ticket so we can have it ready for the
next meeting.
I would also like to ask if we can change the next meeting from Friday the 25th
to Monday the 28th at 6pm. It will be difficult for some to make it Friday
night. Please consider it and let me know.
Thank you for your time,
Nina Abadeh
