Subject: Yesterday's meeting

 Hello Cynthia,

We all missed you at yesterday's meeting. We were concerned that a medical emergency prevented your attendance but are glad to know that you are all right now. The meeting went well, and we were able to adhere to the agenda for the most part. There was only one small change. Jean gave his presentation on finance right after Robert since he had to leave early.

Your secretary faxed a copy of your report to me, and I read it in your place. There were a few questions which will be submitted to you by e-mail. The meeting was not lengthy at all. In fact, even though we had scheduled three hours for the entire meeting, we actually concluded half an hour earlier than that. You see how efficient we have become. A copy of the meeting minutes will be faxed to you before 5:00 today. I hope to speak with you soon.
