To: Beth Cordero
From: Dylan Winters
Date: September 10
Subject: London trip
Could you please reserve a flight for my trip to London next month and arrange for accommodations in the vicinity of Southland Bank? I plan to be there from October 7 to 10.
Ideally, the hotel would have a business center, but I would settle for wireless Internet access. It would be great if you could find a hotel with a gym.
Also, could you please make arrangements for a guided bus tour of the city on the 9th? I would prefer the tour to be over by around 3 p.m. as I’m having dinner with clients in the evening.
Let me know what kinds of tours are available.Contact me if you need more information.
As always, thank you for your help.Dylan

I heard from Ben that you are extremely busy now, filling in for Lucy who suddenly had to quit.
However, I’d like to remind you that I need to have the expense report from the trip you made to Sydney earlier this month by Monday morning. Otherwise, there’s a chance you won’t be reimbursed during April.
Be sure to attach all receipts, including those from all the meals you had during your trip, to the expense report.
I also need a trip report from you, but that can come later; judging from your current circumstances, I’d be willing to wait until the first week of next month.
