Hello everybody. Just thought I would revive this thread. Shall we organize a meeting for July or August?

Dear Matthew and Jon,

Perhaps early August is better as Jon can join then.  Can Jon confirm a date when he is in HK?

Best, Yahong

Dear Jon,

The important person is Yahong. I would like to pin down her diary first. I would be
flexible to accomodate.

Dear Yahong,

Shall we go by July 15 as per suggested?

Regards,

Matthew
