Dear Michael,

Thank you for the invitation! I'm definitely in. You know I love hiking and I've always wanted to visit Patagonia, so this is the perfect trip for me. However, I'm currently very busy studying for exams so it would be great if we left after the New Year, say, the first Sunday of January. If this is OK with you too, let's go ahead and book the tickets.

Best regards,

Jonathan

Stella,

Mr Santos called for you about the teachers' conference we are holding on 20 May. He says that, so far, the number of people attending the event is 87. Also, seven teachers are vegans, but more teachers may register, so I guess that menu cannot be finalised.

Jake

Why is the man writing to Joel?
