A reply to a foLLow-up  email I Unit 10

         2) Could you arrange a gift for each guest at the event?
         Yes,  no  problem. What about including a personal card from you  or Ms Kennedy
         with the gift?
         3) Are you able to do  this for less than €50 per guest?
         Of course. Why don't you look at the attached list of possible gifts and tell me
         what you  think is best?
         4) Could you send a new offer with the total price?
         Yes.  !.haven 't finished the new offer yet,  but I will do  it tomorrow. Would you  like
         me to send  it to Ms Kennedy as well?
         5]  I can 't open the pictures of the conference rooms you sent.
         Have you tried opening the pictures in  Microsoft PowerPoint? Or should I send
         you  the photos in the post?
         I hope these suggestions help. Let me know if you  need anything else.
         Best regards
         Jon
