Appointment with a Doctor

Mr Nikolaev: Is that Dr Morton's office?

Secretary: Yes, sir.

Mr Nikolaev: This is Nikolaev speaking. Could I have an appointment with the doctor in the middle of next week, please?

Secretary: Just a minute, sir: I'll check his schedule. Will Wednesday be all right?

Mr Nikolaev: Yes, it's fine. What time, please?

Mr Stunns: Hello. Could I speak to Mr Ivanov's secretary, please?

Secretary: Good morning. This is Mr Ivanov's secretary.

Mr Stunns: This is Stunns, of the Ministry of Transportation. I would like to know whether Mr Ivanov has received an invitation to our Annual Meeting?

Secretary: Yes, Mr Stunns, we have received your invitation, thank you.

Mr Stunns: Is Mr Ivanov coming?

Secretary: No, Mr Stunns, he is not. I am sorry but Mr Ivanov left town and he won't be back until next week. Haven't you received our letter informing you that he is not attending the Meeting?

Mr Stunns: No, not yet.

Secretary: We sent it to the Department yesterday afternoon.

Mr Stunns: It's a pity that Mr Ivanov is not able to be present at our Annual Meeting. Give him my best regards when he returns, please.

Secretary: Thank you, I will. Good-bye.

Mr Stunns: Good-bye.

Secretary: Hello.

Mr Stock: Good morning. I'd like to speak to Mr Baturin.

Secretary: Who's calling, please?

Mr Stock: This is Mr Stock from Satre Ltd.

Secretary: Will you hold the line, please? I'll see if Mr Baturin's available. Mr Stock, Mr Baturin is on the other phone. Will you wait or call back?

Mr Stock: I'll wait, thank you.

Secretary: Hello, Mr Stock. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I'm putting Mr Baturin on the line now.

Mr Baturin: Good morning, Mr Stock.

Mr Stock: Good morning, Mr Baturin. I believe you know that the Interna­tional Motor Show at Earls Court is due to open on Wednesday, Oc­tober 18. We would greatly appreciate it if you could come to Earls Court to attend the official opening. The Lada 1200 Saloon from Satre Motors will make its debut at this show.

Mr Baturin: Thank you very much for your kind invitation. But unfortu­nately I can't accept it. I have an appointment. I think Mr Ozerov will be able to attend this function if you don't mind.

Mr Stock: Oh, we will be happy to see Mr Ozerov. We are sending a Com­plimentary Ticket for him by hand.

Mr Baturin: I wish you every success in your business. The Lada is really creating a great deal of interest wherever it is shown. I sincerely hope that selling Soviet cars in this country will be very profitable for you.

Mr Stock: Thank you for your kind wishes. Good-bye.

Mr Bamrin: Bye-bye, Mr Stock.
