Hi, may I speak to Mr. Peter Aston?
Yes, it’s Peter here.
I am calling from Domain Corp. You have an interview scheduled with us for this Thursday.
Yes I know. I will be there.
I am sorry but we need to shift it to Friday as the person who is supposed to take your interview will be out of town.
Oh! That’s ok. What time do I have to be there then?
11:30. I really apologize for this.
That’s completely okay. I understand.
Hello, how are you doing?
Doing great. How can I help you?
Actually I have an appointment for a haircut at 4 pm today and I need to cancel it.
Which day would it be best for you then?
Friday or Saturday would be great for me.
There’s a slot Saturday morning. Would 11 a.m. be okay for you?
It suits me just fine.
Well, in that case I’ll just write you in.
Hi! I have an appointment for high-speed Internet installation. My last name is Smith.
Yes, Mr. Smith, your appointment is for 3.00 pm on Friday.

Is it possible for someone to come a bit earlier?
I’m sorry but we are booked up on Monday.
Can you send someone on Tuesday at 2 p.m. then?
Yes, Sir. So your appointment is now rescheduled for next Tuesday at 2.
Steve? It’s Peter here. How are you doing?
I am good. So are you ready for the presentation?
Well, I’m calling you up to let you know that I won’t be able to make it because some of my relatives are coming home.
But we have to submit the presentation by tomorrow at any cost or else the boss will give us a hard time!
Don’t worry about that. I’ll have a word with him. I am sure he’ll understand.
How can you be certain of that?!
Well, just make sure I don’t get burnt because of you.
Yes, of course Steve.
I really apologize for this.
Which day would it be best for you then?
You have an interview scheduled with us for this Thursday.
